originally from Cleveland Ohio my father was born in Cleveland uh he went anyone here from Ohio Ohio background no no nobody Ohio okay my mom's from England okay there we go she's English and um we we bounced around I was a rabbi in Perth Amboy New Jersey for a number of year Perth Amboy yeah that was a place over there and then eventually I became a college Rabbi UCLA in Los Angeles and today I'm one of the national directors I bounce around the country helping Start programs and when I was called and I was told what a wonderful group is here waiting to enjoy Passover and the Sader I said count me in and they did so I'm here I'm honored thank you thank you very much so we're going to try to do this by the by the clock okay so it is now4 to 7 there's all that yummy chicken and I saw salmon that's a Jewish food right so so salmon and chicken and good food and we got matah so we're not going to schlep we're g to we're going to move we're going to move right along and I'm looking at 7:30 as dinner time so we got 45 minutes to cover everything all the way until dinner so we're going to begin with Kadesh it is the custom of the little children and then the adults to sing all of the different things in the Seder the word seder means in order so we're going to announce the order of the Seder so I'm going to sing it in the tune that I was taught when I was young and if you want to join please feel free to do so and here we go I I see we have a singer in the audience that that's Lily what was your name L Lena cuto you are amazing I could hear you all the way up here so that is called the Sader and then what we do is we fill up the cup yes yes you're correct about that and since I am a grandpa put on the spectacles and we got 19 we're now going to move on to page 20 and we're going to do K now what I like to do when I have my seder is I like to tell the laws of doing it the right way so I'm not going to skimp on that so A few laws that we should know number one when we make the Kish it is better to stand so if you can stand if it's hard to stand then just don't but if you can we're going to stand during The KES when we drink The KES wine we lean does anyone know what side we lean on left or right right we're going to do the left side we're going to lean the left side and that's called a sa so we're going to lean and then one more thing one second before you do it Pour for your friend gra juice you're not supposed to pour for yourself because you're like a king or a queen today so everyone pours for somebody else and having said that I'm going to pour for myself okay here you go pour a cup you would be able to do I don't if I can I'll do you got the you got cranberry messed up urinary TR okay here okay okay minut you okay do we have our grape juice now if we're feeling really very fres nicked then uh then uh next week when we do the actual seder get yourself a good cup of like toquet or Malaga maybe something lighter cream Ros say something like that um I like reasing and know like a reasing a nice late Harvest reasing is like a light sweet wine okay here we go we're going to begin in the middle of page 20 everyone we're going to stand up and what we're going to do is instead of me making the Kish we're all going to do it in the same tune at the same time together as one okay here we go from the word s in the middle of the page on page 20 here we go pray sh sh for m all the we sit down we lean on our left side and we try to drink the majority of what's in our cup majority whatever is there try to get the majority there we go they always felt the Jewish people make good grape juice K okay now after doing each thing we announced the thing that we just did so we just Kadesh everyone say Kadesh okay now we're going to do and we're going to wash our hands now I have not been here before and I don't suppose we're all going to run up and wash our hands so there's any any of the students want to help me out with this one over here okay yeah um cup cup of water we're going to do this Ur okay well actually I can go there you have a yeah there we go that works I'm going to yeah bring it up here that's good enough yeah bring it up here we're we're all friends oh there we go very you good excellent now we're going to wash our hands and that's called but we don't make the that we do by okay and here we go we're going to take the cup thank you so much for that that's great here we go I'm washing my hands to 3 4 5 6 I don't make the blessing no blessing but I do dry my hands so they shouldn't stay wet okay and now we did the second thing everyone say and now we are ready to dip I just spilled the first wine on my Kido so we say mule one you that happens on face okay there we go now we're going to dip the vegetable into the salt water do you have that oh carus okay yeah okay thank you now who knows why we're dipping into salt water what does salt water remind us of the bitter times reminds of of tears right right we forgot to mention or I forgot to mention that on the Seder table we have something called the Kara thank you so much I'm going to show you what that looks like over here that's a Seder plate we all have that seder plate let's just announce what we have over here we have over here the mar which we're not going to eat now but that looks like that over there bitter herbs right we got those M and we have another kind of and that's uh we also call that CR right but that's the bitter herbs this over here we're going to eat later on that's called the koses this is the shank bone that's going to remind us of the sacrifice that Pascal sacrifice this is the egg which is going to remind us of another sacrifice brought and the last thing is the vegetables and that's when I'm going to eat now um I just need some salt water and then I'll be all good to go do we have some salty water yeah well if we have salt and we have water we can mix them together b a bing we've got salt water well you know I'm take the water okay um okay we're going to do this and because we don't have salt let me just see if there's a little something that's a salty here cry and tear cry and tear oh no you know what I bet this is made with salt I what do you think you think they make dressing with salt you got to put so we're I'm going to take a little bit of this do a makeshift oh that looks gross okay okay well this is going to be our salt water okay everyone we're going to do carass we take the little vegetable got a little parsley there we're going to make a br and the blessing is called PR here we go everyone ready that's great now we just did carpas everyone say carpas fantastic now we're going to do the next thing you should all have matah on your table take out three matzas but they should be whole moners not broken moners take three moners and I'm going to take three okay well yeah I can we go you got three you're welcome okay are we ready do we have our three moners now the reason we have three matzas is because the top one is for the Coen the middle one is for the ly and the bottom one is for the isra and we're going to break the middle Mah and I just heard today A beautiful reason why I want to share with you quickly what was the ley's job in the temple now I'm a Ley so I can tell you are we still going live yeah we are great what's the ley's job I'll tell you the ley's job was to sing he was the singer now I don't have a great voice the coin job was to bring the sacrifices you're a coin well that's even Holier can't touch you okay the lady's job us to sing so the reason we break the middle matah is because if you want to enter a person's heart their heart is hard and you want to open up their heart the way to do that is through singing through song so we break the middle matah which is the Ley that's singing so we're going to break the middle M and let me show you there's a certain way to break it here's my middle one middle one right here you want to break it into two pieces one bigger and one smaller the smaller one we're going to put back in the middle and the bigger one we're going to hide for the a here we go ready we're going to break it one two three I blew it yeah okay well no that's okay that's that's my aoma it it sort of crumbled in my ungentle hands I will never be a surgeon okay the middle the the smaller piece is going to go right in the middle slot right there like a deck of cards boom okay you're the winner and here is here's the aicom and this we're going to I'm going to hide it so if any of you steal it you can make a wish I may not say yes but here we go you're the I'm the I'm the youngest right I just feel from you right okay so we just did Yak everyone say y okay now we get to the part of where we discuss God taking us out of Egypt and the first thing we're going to do is we're going to point to the matah and I'm going to say it you can join me I'm going to say the next paragraph in both English and Aramaic now most of it is Hebrew but the next paragraph is Aramaic because the next paragraph is when we invite everyone to our seder and when the was made many years ago the common language was Aramaic so when you wanted to invite someone to your home you would say it in Aramaic but because we live in the good old USF we're also going to say in English so that we can invite all those who want to join our Rock and seder up here here we go first in English and this is going to be on page 20 the English 24 the Hebrew so let's we'll we'll start with the English and if you want to say it with me the right way to do it is you take actually the middle matah that we just broke okay we're going to actually take it out of that slot we're going to hold it in one hand okay we have to multitask here we'll hold it in one hand while at the same time saying this in English here we go ready this is a bread of Affliction that our fathers ate the land of Egypt whoever is hungry let him come and eat whoever is needy let him come and celebrate Passover now we are here next year may we be in the land of Israel now we are slaves next year may we be free men I'm say that in the Aramaic we're going to put it back and here I want to share with you an idea and you know some ideas we're passionate about we each have those ideas this is the idea that I teach my children if you have to take one word in the English language and say this this word is what Judaism is all about this one word what do you think that word is love here go around walk around so they can see their faces walk okay kindness goodness M you you know all the all those words all those words are are very much right I want to share with you I want to share with you my my concept as a rabbi the word is empathy everything about Judaism when a man came to Hill and said to hill hill teach me the entire Torah on one foot what did Hill respond the whole Torah what did he say what is hateful to you don't do to others don't do it to your friend or the opposite love your neighbor like you love yourself that is empathy empathy is the reason that God put us in Egypt in the first place why did God do that why did he put us into Egypt in bondage and slavery I will tell you why because he had a noble mission for us and that mission was to go out in the world and teach the world there's a better way and God says where is there a people who will understand how bitter it is to be slaves how difficult it is to be downtrodden to be abused to be ignored look at these people men women children the slaves they're all slaves for hundreds of years if there's one nation who will understand my mission statement for mankind it's them cuz they've been there and they've done that they have or and they have widows they have been downtrodden they have AB been abused they have been discarded they will get it they understand it so you know why we say this is the bread of Affliction not simply to remember how tough things were in Egypt if that's all we're remembering how tough things were then know we are we're a bunch of complaining Jews o things were so bad things were horrible things were terrible right is that who we are are we complainers we are well usually not you know who we are we are doers we are people who do do you know that Jewish people give more charity than any other nationality in the United States the most donated two Charities do you know that 91 one out of every four First Responders was Jewish one out of four on 9/11 was a Jew do you know that the average time for an ambulance to respond in New York is 11 minutes do you know that the Jewish ambulance Court do you know 3 minutes are under sometimes as little as 90 seconds they're there you blink and they're there because we're a people that have been through slavery we know how badly it hurts we remember the bread of affliction that's why we eat it we don't remember because we want to remember bitter times we're not masochists like oh things were terrible no we remember it because like we just read whoever is hungry let them come and eat whoever is needy let them join us it is empathy empathy empathy I feel your pain I love you so much like you said I care about you so much like you said it's all empathy does this make sense to you this is the word the gasoline in the engine okay now that we spoke about the bread of Affliction we're ready to do the Manish so the youngest person says it that may be me oh my gracious oh here come come closer walk walk amongst the masses it's it's not fun to watch when it's too far away zoomed in and zooming out yeah it may not CL okay here we go man page 24 to okay we'll stop here for a moment now we have some young people in the audience I think we should call one of them up isn't that true yes okay we need a volunteer who's going to come and do the next one don't be shy there we go give it up for um Jonathan Jonathan and by the way I think he's eligible if you have any Grand you're married no sing okay single boy do you have any Grand granddaughters um that going to be Factor uh pharmacist pharmacist The Honorable profession is a good-looking pretty tall taller than me who wears nice glasses okay we're starting the bidding at Universal value that everyone believes it everyone believes that life has value Isis may not believe it unfortunately but do you think that in general We Believe life has value today most people do but there was a time in history when that was not so there was a time in history that the only people who believed that life had value were the Jewish people we were the ones who believed that life had value do you think the Romans believed that life had value no do you know what it was like to go to a Coliseum on a weekend to the GL Gladiators to watch the Romans battle each other to the death we introduce the value of life so how do we say life in Hebrew I'm glad you said that because you didn't say you said means one lifeim means many lives I am only aive because you are alive my life only has value because I believe that your life has has value together we have life not isn't that beautiful it's a beautiful idea okay now thank you we're going to move on we're going to do in English the next it happened every we can say together in page 27 it happened that Rabbi elzar Rabbi Joshua RAB El and aaria Rabbi AKA Rabbi Darin were gathered at the Seder in benab they discussed the exitus from Egypt all that night until their students came and said to them our teachers the time has come for the reading of the morning shama that's what they said even if people are smart even if people have done it for many years I I am in awe that the fact that In This Crowd of wonderful Jewish people here there are people that are over 90 years old right that means you have seen the world evolve you have seen World War II and perhaps even before then World War I this is an amazing thing that we're witnessing and you're part of that chain and still you're here remembering what you remembered last year in the year before that and the year before that and even in the concentration camps they remembered when it was Passover night we will never forget just like we will never forget what happened to our brothers and our sisters right never forget yes my father was a rabbi and during the Holocaust years we spent Passover in 1941 in a stable hiding from the Germans and we survived all of us survived what country was that Greece wow so for those of you that didn't year 1941 one they spent Passover in a Sader in a stable the Seder in a stable in Greece that to stay away it was very dangerous to live there and here you are today to tell the tale and and IV who's your brother ah and you're a rabbi aren't you give it up for the rabbi okay amazing now in order to keep the Seda moving thank you for sharing that very much in order to keep the Seder moving we're going to speak outside about the four Sons remember the four Sons I have a painting of them in my house the four sons and they're known as the wise son the wicked son the simple son and the son who is unable to ask and that's going to be on page 29 let's say that in English the wise son what does he say what are the testimonies decrees and ordinances which Hashem Our God has commanded you therefore explain to him the laws of the Passover offering that one may not eat dessert after the final Taste of the Passover offering the wicked son what does he say of what purpose is this work to you he says to you thereby excluding himself by excluding himself from the community of Believers he denies the basic principles of Judaism therefore blunt his teeth and tell him it is because of this that Hashem did so for me when I went out of Egypt for me but not for him had he been there he would not have been redeemed um can you please come here now walk right through everyone come we want to make sure David that's TR thank you what we want to do David is we want to make sure that everyone everyone gets air time cuz there's a lot of people watching so what we're going to do is uh as we do this don't worry about it will you be okay if he walks around so that we okay so don't just stand over there because it's not interesting to the viewer okay walk around do your job so F there we go now we're up to the third one the simple son what does he say what is this tell him with a strong hand that Hashem take us out of Egypt from the house of bondage and the son who's unable to ask you must initiate the subject for him as it is stated you shall tell your son on that day it is because of this that Hashem did so for me when I went out of Egypt my dear friends the simple son does not know how to ask who is the simple son today yes let me be very very real with you right now I am a campus Rabbi I have lots of students do you know how many Jewish students students are on the campuses today about a half a million 500,000 Jewish students Harvard Yale Princeton GW upen ruers Minnesota Berkeley San Francisco Kansas Buffalo Maryland UCLA all over the country now ask yourself this how many will attend a Seder a tiny fraction a tiny fraction in a campus with 5,000 Jews maybe 300 are popping into the hillo where's the other 4700 you know what the answer is they are the son that doesn't know how to ask they are the ones that don't even know if they're studious they're doing their homework if not they're playing a video game on pass overnight they don't even know that there are questions it is the great tragedy of Our Generation we weep over the Jews that are lost during the Holocaust can I tell you something do you know what I'm doing right as soon as this saor is over I am meeting a young lady as soon as I leave here I'm meeting a young lady she comes in before finish she's not Jewish she's Muslim she's going out with a Jewish boy and that will be the end of his Judaism he didn't know how to ask we we you and I have to be the ones to bring them to a Sader to introduce them to matah and mor and wisdom and understanding and questions and probing it's us because if not there's a fifth category which we didn't mention you know what the fifth category is it's the boy that doesn't come to the Seder it's the girl that doesn't show up we have four categories the wise the Wicked the simple and the one who doesn't ought to ask but the fifth category is the one that never even came to the table unfortunately that's the story of America we have to fight the good fight everyone please fill up your cup we're going to do V okay and we're going to turn to the bottom of page 30 or 31 oh than is that the great that's um I is what you want the ahead I'm are you Russian barar Central Asia used to be it used to be going to it's part of the holiday okay here we go we're going to we're going to um lift up the cup and we're going to say the following in English and then Hebrew page 31 one at the bottom it is this that has stood by our fathers and us for not only one has risen against us to annihilate us but in every generation they rise against us to annihilate us but the Holy One blessed is he rescues us from their hand for we put the cup down never have those words been more appropriate than today we are living in moments of chaos Isis on one side Hamas on the other Iran trying to get nuclear bombs everyone wants death to Israel death to the Jewish people wherever you go anti-Semitism is risen threefold in France people are walking around outa because they're too they're too scared to walk synagogues are closing even in America cemeteries are being defiled every generation we think is this it is this the end and all of a sudden the almighty blessed is he he takes care of Isis he took care of Mubarak he takes care of the Muslim Brotherhood he takes care of the Naes and destroys them to Pieces he takes care of communist Russia and one day when all of this wickedness is destroyed the almighty will say you know what why did you start up with my chosen people the people are the apple of my eye I'm not happy that's what the almighty says so we lift our cup saying hopefully soon mhia will come and hopefully all this wickedness will perish for the face of the Earth amen amen and here we go we'd like to welcome we have somebody very special here we have Rabbi rudenberg you may want to say shalom is a big Rabbi in Queens uh the man with a beard there Rabbi Rutenberg and he saw his son and Rabbi rudenberg is the head of the organization emed that put this beautiful shindig together the Seder so he's the head of the organization so let's give it up for the good Rabbi okay that's great now what we're going to do is we're going to turn to the bottom of page 36 at 37 because it's time to recount the plagues yes those plagues and in order to recount them what we do is we take a little bit of wine on our Pinky and we take it and we put it onto the plate each time we say a plague and the reason why we do that is that the plagues gave the Egyptians difficulty pain and although they deserved it we as Jewish people we don't gloat when people have pain even when they deserve it so we take a little bit of wine or grape juice out of our cup so here we go starting from the bottom of 36 everyone say blood blood fire and Columns of smoke colum smoke and in Hebrew do the same thing now let say the English another explanation of the preceding verse each phrase represents two plagues hence Mighty and two outstretched arm to Great o two signs two wonders to on page 39 these are the 10 plagues which the Holy One blessed is he brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt and before we before we say them let you before you say them in Hebrew let's say them in English these were plagues that were that that smokee the Egyptians and it's good to know historically that the Egypt did not recover for 150 years after the Exodus in archaeology there's no mention of Egypt for the next 150 years that means these plagues utterly wiped out Egypt and its ability to grow so here we're going to do it in English everyone together blood with your pinky frogs lies wild beasts pestilence boils hail Locus Darkness plague of the first corn let's do that in Hebrew with the tune each of the 10 plagues three were by land three were by air three were by sea and one was the plague of the first born the plagues that each lasted for seven days seven days the Nile was Bloody 7 days there were frogs everywhere even in people's beds even in people's bread lice we know how painful lice can be they were everywhere biting and causing all sorts of Heartache boils wild beasts Locust eating everything up all sorts of animals died darkness and then finally the death of the firstborn how many people people here are the first born in their family raise your hand firstborn you are considered extra chosen I'm not the firstborn I have an older sister but those who were the firstborn you should know that you were saved because you would have been destroyed had you been Egyptian living in those times but Hashem chose you now we're going to turn to page 40 one of my favorite songs in all of p and you all know

this all the way on everyone Turn the page 43 43 okay we're starting from r gam okay are we're going to say it only in English and here we go Rabin gam it's the second paragraph from the bottom RAB and Gamel used to say whoever has not explained the following three things on the Passover has not fulfilled his duty namely PES the Passover offering matah the unle bread M the bitters PES why did our fathers eat a Passover offering during the period when the temple still stood because the Holy One blessed as he passed over the houses of our fathers in Egypt as it is written you shall say it is a Passover offering for Hashem who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he struck the Egyptians and spared our houses and the people bow down prostrated them themselves matah everyone point to your mat while you say this point matah why do we eat this unleavened bread because the dough of our fathers did not have time to become leaven because the King of Kings the Holy One blessed a SE revealed himself to them and redeemed them as it is written they baked the dough which they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened bread for it had not fermented because they were driven out of Egypt and could not delay nor have they prepared any provisions for the way and laughting is m I'm going to hold this point point up here Point towards this everyone point and say why do we eat This Bitter herb because the Egyptians bittered the lives of our fathers in Egypt as it says they bittered their lives with hard labor with mortar and bricks and with all manner of Labor in the field whatever service they made them perform was with hard labor okay now we turn we turn all the way till page 48 lift up your cup of grape juice SL wine cranberry juice okay we'll make another
