PESAJ. HAGGADAH. 2022

 

Introduction

 

Facilitator: Tonight we share a meal to help us remember the story of PESACH and what it points to: the death of Yeshua. In Exodus 12:25-27, the Torah instructs us to remember PESACH.

 

It will come to pass that when you come to the land that the LORD will give you, as he promised you, you will keep this ceremony. And it will be when your children tell you: 'What do you understand by this ceremony?' and you will say, 'It is the PESACH sacrifice of the LORD, which passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he struck down the Egyptians and delivered our houses.' -Exodus 12:25-27

 

As we celebrate PESACH and retell the story of the Exodus, we consider ourselves redeemed and delivered from the clutches of Egypt. We have been grafted into HIS body by adoption (Romans 11), and Israel's history becomes our history.

 

As we celebrate PESACH and retell the story of the Exodus, we remember that it is a story of redemption, of a loving God who longed for His people to be free to serve Him with sincerity and truth. It is the story of freedom, hope, liberation, redemption and salvation.

 

As we celebrate PESAJ and retell the story of the Exodus, searching for the Redeemer. He alone redeemed Israel. He alone redeems us from sin and death through his Messiah, Yeshua.

 

One of the last earthly acts of the Messiah was to celebrate PESACH (Luke 22:15). In it, Yeshua revealed the mystery of God's plan of redemption. He spoke of his body, his blood and his death. 

 

Through the PESACH bread and wine, Yeshua reminds us of His death. As we celebrate PESACH and retell the story of the Exodus, we enter a story of miraculous transitions: from slavery to freedom, from despair to hope, from darkness to light. Just as God cared for Israel, He cares for all who are His today.

 

On the table are the elements of the seder. There are bitter herbs, a mixture of sweet apple, parsley and a bone. Through them, our senses can fully participate in the story, seeing, smelling and tasting each one of them. We will read and pray. Listen to every word of this ceremony today.

 

the four cups

Facilitator:  - But YHVH said to Moses: “Now you will see what I will do…” (Exodus 6:1). Later in Exodus 6:6-7, YHVH revealed his plans to redeem Israel, his people.

 

Say therefore to the children of Israel: I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment. I will take you for my people, and I will be your God, and you will know that I am YHVH your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of Egypt (Exodus 6:6,7).

 

1. " and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians"

2. "I will deliver you from bondage"

3. "I will redeem you with an outstretched arm"

4. "I will take you for my people 

 

All: This passage reveals four ways that God redeemed his people. These four paths of redemption show us how God calls us from slavery to freedom. To commemorate these four acts of redemption, tonight we will drink from our cups four different times.

 

The first cup is The Cup of Sanctification and focuses on, “...I will draw you out...”

 

The second cup is The Cup of Deliverance and Judgment and focuses on, "...I will deliver you..."

 

The third cup is The Cup of Redemption and focuses on, “…I will redeem you…”

 

The fourth cup is The Kingdom Cup and focuses on “…I will take you for my people…”

-----------------------------------------

Facilitator:

Blessed be YHVH Eloheinu, our King and Redeemer who has sanctified us with his commandments and commanded us to heed the words of the Torah. 

 

Blessed are you YHVH Eloheinu, our King and Redeemer who has sanctified us with his commandments and has commanded us to celebrate the Feast of PESAJ and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

 

1.The First Cup. Kadesh (Sanctification).

Facilitator - “...I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians...” (Exodus 6:6)

The first cup is the Cup of Sanctification, which reminds us that God promised to bring His people out of Egypt to sanctify them, or set them apart from all other nations. As we drink, we separate this food from all other food and remember that God has set us apart from sin and death through the Messiah Yeshua.

  ALL: -Blessed are you, YHVH, our King and Redeemer, because you took us out of servitude and slavery and set us apart. We thank you that you chose us for salvation and sanctification through Yeshua our Messiah.

-----------------------------------------

2. Urchatz (Purification/Handwashing)

Handwashing

Facilitator - Who can climb the mountain of YHVH? Or who can be in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart (Psalm 24:3,4).

Before us we have a small bowl filled with water. With him, we will wash our hands, symbolically cleansing ourselves for the time we spend here together. Washing our hands reminds us to come to God clean and prepared for worship.

And Yeshua invited His disciples to spiritual purity when He washed their feet. In his example, we are reminded of his humility as a servant and how we should love and serve one another.

ALL: -Blessed are you, YHVH our God, our King and Redeemer, because you purify us and cleanse us. Thank you that you fill us with the purifying power of your presence.

** EVERYONE DIPS THEIR HANDS IN THE SMALL BOWL OF WATER. 

-----------------------------------------

3. Karpas (appetizer)

Parsley

Facilitator - ...and the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from bondage reached God (Exodus 2:23).

Only on this night we soak the vegetables in salt water. Parsley and salt water remind us of the tears shed in Egypt by the Israelites and the tears we shed when we were in sin and death. It reminds us that pain and sadness come with sin.

**Submerge the parsley in salt water and eat

-----------------------------------------

4. YACHATZ. AFIKOMEN. 

 Facilitator - ...was wounded for the transgression of my people (Isaiah 53:8). 

On all other nights we eat leavened bread, but on Passover we only eat unleavened bread. When Israel fled Egypt, they did not have time for their mass to grow. It is the bread of affliction, the poor bread that our fathers ate in the land of Egypt.

* Wrap three pieces of bread in a white napkin

ALL: - Three pieces of unleavened bread are wrapped for Passover. Various explanations are offered for this tradition. The rabbis call these three a "Unity". Some consider it a unity of the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—or of worship—the priests, the Levites, and the people of Israel. 

Those of us who know the Messiah can see the unique nature of God: the Father, the Son and the Spirit.

ALL: - But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). 

And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication for mercy, so that when they look at me, whom they have pierced, they mourn for him, as one who mourns for an only son, and weep bitterly. for him, as one mourns for the firstborn ( Zechariah 12:10).

Facilitator : Jewish tradition instructs us to remove the middle piece and split it in half and this was an amazing prophecy that the body of the Messiah would be split for us. Just as the middle piece of unleavened bread is broken, the Messiah was afflicted and broken. 

The middle is now called the afikomen, which means "The one who comes". Notice how the unleavened bread is scratched and perforated. In this, we see the Messiah. Tradition instructs us to wrap half of the broken bread in a white cloth. 

Just as the middle piece of broken bread is wrapped in a white cloth, Messiah's body was wrapped for burial. Tradition instructs us to hide the afikomen, the broken bread wrapped in white cloth. 

Just as the afikomen is hidden, the Messiah was hidden in the tomb. 

 *Facilitator hides the Afikomen while the children close their eyes

5. Magid. The story of PESACH

 

Facilitator:

THIS IS THE BREAD OF AFFLICTION WHICH OUR FATHERS ATE IN THE LAND OF EGYPT. EVERYONE WHO IS HUNGRY SHOULD COME AND EAT, EVERYONE WHO IS IN NEED SHOULD COME AND PARTICIPATE IN THE PESACH SACRIFICE.

NOW WE ARE HERE, NEXT YEAR WE WILL BE IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL; THIS YEAR WE ARE SLAVES, NOW WE ARE FREE PEOPLE!!
 

**FILL SECOND GLASS OF WINE

The four questions. Ma NISHTANA 

 

AT EVERY PASSOVER CELEBRATION, A CHILD MUST STAND UP AND ASK FOUR QUESTIONS TO PREPARE US TO LISTEN AND RESPOND TO THE STORY OF GOD'S REDEMPTION THROUGH THE MESSIAH

FACILITATOR:

26 And when your children say to you: What is this ritual of yours? 27 you will answer: It is the PESACH victim of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck down the Egyptians , and saved our houses. Exodus 12:26-27

Blessed be YHVH our God, our King and Redeemer who sanctifies us with his commandments and commands us that when our children ask us about this ceremony, we will answer them: "It is the victim of the Passover of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck down the Egyptians , and saved our houses."

#one. ALL (or child) : Why do we eat unleavened bread?  

 

FACILITATOR: To remember that our ancestors and older brothers in the faith, the people of Israel, had to run out of Egypt before the bread fermented.  

 

#two. ALL (or child) : Why do we eat bitter herbs? 

 

FACILITATOR: To remember how the Egyptians embittered the lives of our ancestors.   

 

#3. EVERYONE (or child): Why do we soak parsley in salt water?  

 

FACILITATOR: To remember the tears that our ancestors, the people of Israel, shed during their long slavery.  

 

#4. ALL (or child) : "What does this ceremony mean to you?" 

  

FACILITATOR: This sacrifice is the PESACH of YHVH, which in Egypt passed through the houses of the Israelites. He mortally wounded the Egyptians, but he saved our families." 

 

Exodus 12:27 "This is done because of what YHVH did to me when he brought me out of Egypt."  Exodus 13:8

Facilitator - Come to me all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will make you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

On the night of PESACH, Israel ate quickly, ready to travel with staff in hand. Tonight we rest and eat quietly. They were enslaved, preparing for their departure. We are free, remembering our freedom in the rest of the Messiah.

God promised the blessing of descendants and the land of Israel to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Through the seed of Abraham, who is Yeshua, all the nations of the world would be blessed. But during a famine, Jacob and his family left Israel and went to Egypt where they were blessed and favored by Pharaoh.

However, a new Pharaoh arose, who feared them because they were so numerous and blessed. With fear and tyranny, he enslaved the Israelites and forced them to build their cities. His was a hard and bitter existence, accompanied by tears and sorrows. Still, God blessed his people and they continued to prosper and multiply. In their suffering, they cried out to God for deliverance.

Pharaoh became more fearful and told the Hebrew midwives to kill the male children born to the Hebrews.

 

In defiance, the midwives did not kill the baby boys. So Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be thrown into the Nile River. One family hid their baby for three months and put him in a basket to float down the river.

The pharaoh's daughter found him and raised the baby as her own. She named him "Moses", which means "drawn out of the water".

 

Moses grew up in the court of Pharaoh and, one day, discovered the misery of Israel. Seeing an Egyptian foreman beat up a fellow Hebrew, Moses killed the foreman. When Pharaoh found out, he set out to kill Moses for his crime. So Moses fled Egypt and went to Midian.

During Moses' absence for forty years, YHVH saw the affliction of His people, and raised up Moses to be their deliverer. While in the desert, YHVH spoke to Moses through a burning bush. Although he was fearful, he obeyed God's command to lead the Hebrews to freedom. However, YHVH warned Moses that he would face resistance.

But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless forced by a mighty hand. Then I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all the wonders that I will do in it; after that he will let you go (Exodus 3:19,20).

Moses came out of the desert and went to Israel and told them of God's plan. So he went to Pharaoh in the name of YHVH and said, "Let my people go to serve me." Pharaoh did not listen. God told Moses that Pharaoh would not listen and that it would take several miraculous judgments before Pharaoh would let Israel go.

One by one, YHVH sent plagues on Egypt and her idols. And with each plague, Pharaoh hardened his heart. Eventually, God sent a plague that would change Pharaoh's mind: the death of his firstborn. It was on this night that YHVH delivered the people from him by putting to death the firstborn of the Egyptians.

For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am YHVH (Exodus 12:12).

-----------------------------------------

6. The Second Cup . The Cup of Liberation and Judgment. PESTS

Facilitator:
“...and I will deliver you from their bondage...” (Exodus 6:6).

The second cup is called the Cup of Deliverance and Judgment. In it we remember the plagues that God sent to destroy the Egyptians and to exalt his name on earth. 

With each plague, deliverance was one step closer. Just as God judged the gods of Egypt, he also judged our sin in the Messiah and freed us from bondage and condemnation.

1. All : - Blood  Plague

-Facilitator: - Judgment on the Egyptian god of life.

 
2. All : - Plague of Frogs

4. All : - Plague of flies

5. All:   -Plague of death in cattle

10. All : - Death of the firstborn

-Facilitator : - Judgment on Pharaoh himself, who is supposed to be the incarnation of the sun god, and his first-born son who would continue as king and deity.

ALL : - Blessed are You, YHVH our God, our Redeemer and Judge. Thank you that you freed us from Egypt and, through the death and resurrection of Yeshua, judged sin and death.

The cane bone. The Lamb of God .

Facilitator-
The blood will be a sign for you, in the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will come upon you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt (Exodus 12:13).

On the night of PESACH, the only way to escape the death of the firstborn was the blood of the lamb. 

Those who trusted in YHVH's provision took a lamb without blemish, killed it and put the blood on the doorposts of their house. 

This symbolized that one had died to protect them. The Angel of Death passed over the houses on which the blood was smeared. 

The roast leg bone represents the lamb whose blood marked the houses of Israel.

ALL:  - God's instruction included the following: Exodus 12:3, 5-8, 11, 13: On the tenth day of the first month, each one was to take a lamb for his house. The animal must be a one-year-old male without defect. The animal was taken home on the tenth of the month and slaughtered on the fourteenth. 

They were to put blood on the sides and tops of the door frames of their houses. They were to roast the meat over a fire and eat it with bitter herbs and unleavened bread. They had to eat it quickly, with their cloaks tucked into their belts, sandals on their feet, and cane in hand.

The blood was a sign. When YHVH saw the blood, he would walk over them. 

YHVH Our Redeemer

Facilitator -
And YHVH brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with great deeds of terror, with signs and wonders (Deuteronomy 26:8).

Moses reminds us that God himself redeemed Israel from slavery.

Facilitator :  -On that same night, I will pass through Egypt Everyone: - Me, and not an angel.

Facilitator : And bring down all the firstborn, both man and animal. 

All : -Me, and not a seraphim.
 

Facilitator: -And I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt 

All: -Me, and not a messenger.

 
Facilitator: - I am YHVH   

All:  -I myself and no other.
 

ALL: - The next day he saw Yeshua coming towards him, and said: “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

All who trust in Yeshua the Messiah believe that He is the Lamb of God, our PESACH.

Like the ancient Israelites, we know that God, and not an angel, seraphim, or messenger, accomplished the final redemption for us. And it is only through Yeshua that God saves us. 

"would have been enough"

Facilitator:

They will spread the fame of your abundant goodness and will sing with joy your justice (Psalm 145:7).

How great is God's kindness to us! For each of his acts of mercy and kindness that we declared dayenu, it would have been enough. If God had just rescued us, but he had not judged the Egyptians

Everyone: - Dayenu , it would have been enough!

 
Facilitator - If only He had destroyed their gods, but not parted the Red Sea.

Everyone: - Dayenu , it would have been enough!

 
Facilitator - If only it had drowned our enemies, but not fed us mana.

All: - Dayenu , it would have been enough!

Facilitator - If only he had led us through the desert, but not given us Shabbat.

All: - Dayenu, it would have been enough!

 
Facilitator - If only he had given us the Torah, but not the land of Israel.

All: - Dayenu , it would have been enough! 

ALL:  - God not only gave us all these blessings but also gave us the Messiah! 

Blessed are You, YHVH our God, King of the universe, because You have supplied all our needs with Your abundant mercy. You have given us Yeshua the Messiah , forgiveness of sins and abundant eternal life.

**DON'T FORGET TO RECLINE TO THE LEFT WHILE YOU MUNCH. JUST LIKE WITH THE WINE

9. Maror. Bitter herbs. 

Facilitator :  - So, the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve rigorously. And they embittered their lives with harsh servitude, in mud, in brick, and in all kinds of service in the field. 

All their service in which they were made to serve was rigorous (Exodus 1:13,14). On this night we eat bitter herbs. Life in Egypt was full of tears and bitterness, especially when the Hebrew children were thrown into the Nile River. 

As sweet as our lives may be today, there was a time when they were filled with the bitterness and misery of sin.

ALL: And that night they will eat meat roasted over the fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they will eat it. Exodus 12:8.   

Blessed be YHVH our God, our King and Redeemer who sanctifies us with his commandments and commands us to eat bitter herbs.

Blessed are You, YHVH our God, our King and Redeemer, the only one who frees us from bitterness.

**Place bitter herbs in unleavened bread and eat

-----------------------------------------

10. Kharoset.  A SWEET PASTA MADE OF FRUITS AND NUTS

Facilitator - Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness. Delight yourself also in YHVH, and he will grant you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to YHVH, trust him too, and he will do it (Psalm 37:3-5).

The charoset reminds us of the mortar used by the Hebrews during their captivity.

Even in the bitterest of circumstances, our lives can be sweetened by our hope in God, just as the lives of God's people in Egypt were sweetened by the hope of His redemption.

ALL: - Blessed are you, YHVH our God, king of the universe, because you are a God of hope. Even in the bitterness of sin, we have tasted the sweetness of your hope.

*Place Kharoset on unleavened breads and eat

------------------------------------   

11. DINNER

FACILITATOR : Blessed be YHVH, God our king and our redeemer who with his commandments sanctifies us and orders us the Passover dinner.  

 

Thank you Most High Father, for the FOOD both TODAY and every day, given by your single hand, with breadth and not with limitations, with HONOR, with TRANQUILITY, and in a permissible way.  

 

Thank you for YOUR BROAD, OPEN AND FULL HAND that meets the needs of every living being, for YOUR GREAT NAME YHVH Holy. Amen

**Eat the dinner

-----------------------------------------  

 

13. The Third Cup . The Cup of Redemption.

Facilitator: - "...I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and great judgments..." (Exodus 6:6)

And taking a cup, and having given thanks, he gave it to them, saying: Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. ” (Matthew 27:27-28)

The third cup is called the Cup of Redemption. It is this cup with which Yeshua identified his death. Because of sin, we were sentenced to death. Nothing we do or say can earn God's forgiveness.

None of us seeks God. None is fair. No one can boast of anything before God. While we cannot save ourselves, he can.

ALL: - Behold, the hand of the Lord is not shortened to save, nor is his ear dull to hear (Isaiah 59:1). In his eternal mercy, YHVH chose to redeem us for his own salvation. He saw that there was no one, and he marveled that there was no one to intercede; then his own arm brought him salvation, and his righteousness upheld him (Isaiah 59:16).

ALL: - To accomplish His salvation, God sent His Son. Yeshua's blood purchased our redemption and rescued us from sin and death. He became sin so that we could become the righteousness of God. 

 

We drink from this cup because He provided our redemption by His grace alone. Just as the blood of the lamb brought salvation in Egypt, the atoning death of the Messiah can bring salvation to all who believe. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins according to the riches of his grace (Ephesians 1:7).

ALL: - Father, we bless you for having revealed life through your Son, Yeshúa, our Messiah. In Him you made the perfect and eternal sacrifice. By his blood, we have life. He gave his life to rescue us and return favor and blessing to us. As we eat and drink, we receive Your life, forgiveness and deliverance.

** Serve and Drink from the Cup of Redemption

-----------------------------------------

14. Fourth Cup. The Kingdom Cup.

Facilitator: - “Behold, I am sending you Elijah the prophet, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes” (Malachi 4:5).

The fourth cup is the Kingdom Cup. This cup is for Elijah the Prophet. Based on Malachi's prophecy, it has been Israel's hope that Elijah would come on PESACH to herald the Messiah, Son of David. 

 

Before the birth of John the Baptist, an angel of God said: “...and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and of the disobedient to wisdom. of God". the righteous, to prepare a willing people for the Lord” (Lk 1:17).

Yeshua later spoke of John the Baptist this way: and if you are willing to accept him, he is Elijah who is to come (Matthew 11:14). John the Baptist, when he saw the Messiah, declared: “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

Elijah the forerunner has come. He announced the entry of the Messiah into the world. Now, we carry the spirit of Elijah, declaring the second coming of the Messiah.

I will take you for my people, and I will be your God, and you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians (Exodus 6:7)

Yeshúa said that He would not drink of the fruit of the vine until He did so with us in His Kingdom. "I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine again until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." (Matthew 27:29).

As we drink, we are reminded to pray for the Spirit of Elijah to rise up in us personally and collectively so that we may proclaim His salvation to the nations until the day of our wedding feast with Him. And as we drink, we praise YHVH's salvation.

ALL: - Hallelujah, our God reigns! We rejoice and give you glory. Our future is in Your hands and we are safe in Your grace. We long for the day when we see them face to face and share the wedding feast. You are exalted forever and ever! Amen.

TO HIM. PRAISE

The FACILITATOR recites PSALM 118 Thanksgiving for the salvation received from YHVH

118 Praise YHVH, for he is good; Forever is his mercy. Say now Israel, That his mercy is forever. Say now the house of Aaron, That his mercy is forever. Now let those who fear YHVH say: His mercy endures forever. In anguish I invoked JAH, and JAH answered me, putting me in a spacious place. YHVH is with me; I will not fear what man can do to me. YHVH is with me among those who help me; Therefore, I will see my desire in those who hate me.  

 

It is better to trust in YHVH Than to trust in man. It is better to trust in YHVH Than to trust in princes. All the nations surrounded me; But in the name of YHVH I will destroy them. They surrounded me and besieged me; But in the name of YHVH I will destroy them.  

 

They surrounded me like bees; they lit up like fire of thorns; But in the name of YHVH I will destroy them. You pushed me violently so that I fell, but YHVH helped me. My strength and my song is JAH, and he has been my salvation.  

 

There is a voice of joy and salvation in the tents of the just; YHVH's right hand does mighty deeds. The right hand of YHVH is exalted; YHVH's right hand does mighty deeds. 

 

ALL : I will not die, but I will live, And I will count the works of JAH. JAH severely punished me, but he did not hand me over to death.

 

Open for me the doors of justice, I will enter through them, I will praise JAH. This is the gate of YHVH; Through it the righteous will enter. I will praise you because you have heard me, and came to me for salvation. The stone that the builders discarded. It has become the head of the angle.  

 

This is from YHVH, and it is a marvelous thing in our eyes. This is the day that YHVH has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. O YHVH, save us now, I beg you; I beg you, O YHVH, to make us prosper now. Blessed is he who comes in the name of YHVH; From the house of YHVH we bless you. 

 

YHVH is Elohim, and has given us light; He fastens the victims with ropes to the horns of the altar. You are my Elohim, and I will praise you; My father, I will exalt you. Praise YHVH, for He is good; Forever is his mercy.
