#seder

[fuckyeahmarxismleninism]

Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

Let’s build strong interfaith solidarity by refraining from appropriating Jewish rituals.

Here are a few more ‘arguments’ that we didn’t include, but feel we should head off… “But Judaism is the root of Christianity”. We are a living, breathing people and our traditions have continued to live and thrive despite Christian oppression. These traditions came after Jesus and are not for the taking. “But Jesus was the Passover Lamb!” That’s a Christian tradition and has nothing to do with us. There are many beautiful Christian traditions. Go celebrate them. Enjoy them. No need to take ours.

Make sure to share and if you see someone having a Christian seder, educate them!

Zionist provocateur accidentally proved that Jews are totally safe at Pro Palestine protests.

This moment says it all

Is there anything more Jewish than a meal where eighty percent of the time rather than eat you read an old text and argue over it?

How would you even do an “anti-Zionist Seder” though. Like instead of the enslaved Israelites fleeing Egypt to settle Israel, are we supposed to say that there were white rich media moguls in Ancient Egypt going to buy apartments in New Jersey? Do we finish it off by saying Next Year in Hoboken? I’m really looking forward to how they spin this one

You just send this to everyone without reading anything they have already said on the subject don’t you?

That’s okay! I got you covered buddy. The idea of a NATION STATE did not exist back then. They did not flee to the nation state known today as Israel, because they didn’t exist at all. None of the history or text indicates that supporting the land means supporting what the modern state of Israel is. Zionism had not even been considered yet. So quite frankly it is you who has no idea what they are talking about.

Liberators/Freedom Seders have been being practiced for decades at this point. The anti Zionist Jewish community is only growing bigger every day.

To defend a land you need an army, but to defend freedom you need education. You need parents, families and homes and a constant conversation between the generations. Above all you need memory – the kind of memory that never forgets the bread of affliction and the bitter herbs of slavery.

It's Passover and that means we had pavlova for dessert because it's flour free (we eat kitniyot in my house, but potato starch would work instead of corn starch for those who don't). Also it's nut free which makes it great for being around the high number of people with dietary requirements

Matzah holder with seder plate from the collection of the Hungarian Ethnographic Museum

This stand, carved from tropical wood and covered with embroidered textile sheets, was collected by Gyula Grünbaum in Sopronkeresztúron (now Deutschkreutz, Austria) in 1913. From the 17th century onwards, important Jewish communities were established in the seven field towns of the Esterházy estate. The famous Talmudic school of Sopronkeresztúr, known in Hebrew as Zelem, attracted young people from far and wide. Most of the Jewish objects in the Ethnographic Museum come from this village. In the early 1910s, Grünbaum collected ritual objects in Sopronkeresztúr that were rarely or never used by the Jewish community. Both the changing customs in the traditionalist settlement and the worn condition of the objects could have justified their sale.

Four carved columns hold the three shelves for the maces and the fourth, upper shelf, the 'seder tray', which holds six bowls on legs for ritual food. On the textile covering are embroidered Torah quotations in Hebrew for the Passover feast: "And the people carried their dough before it was boiled, tying their pots into their clothes on their shoulders." (Exodus 12:34) "And they baked the dough, (...) a leavened cakes" (Exodus 12:39) "And they ate the flesh that night, roasting it on the fire, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs." (Exodus 12:8).

Of the three people at the Seder who are younger than me one doesn’t know Hebrew and the other two are babies so I retain my Ma Nishtana monopoly
