From the New American Haggadah…
New Haggadah? Why Not!?
H
ere we are. Here we are, [ready to gather] to
celebrate the oldest continually practices ritual
in the Western world, to retell what is arguably
the best known of all stories, to take part in the most
widely practiced Jewish holiday.… Here we [will be],
as night descends in succession over all of the Jews of
the world, with a book in front of us.
Jews have a special relationship to books, and the
Haggadah has been translated more widely, and reprinted more often than any other Jewish book. It is not a
work of history or philosophy, not a prayer book, user’s
manual, time line, poem, or palimpsest—and yet it is
all of these things. The Torah is the foundational text
for Jewish law, but the Haggadah is our book of living
memory. We are not merely telling a story here. We are
being called to a radical act of empathy. Here we are,
embarking on an ancient, perennial attempt to give human life—our lives—dignity.
The need for new Haggadahs does not imply the
failure of existing one, but the struggle to engage everyone at the table in a time that is unlike any that has come
before. Our translation must know our idiom, our commentaries must wrestle with our conflicts, our design
must respond to how our world looks and feels.…
Here we are: Individuals remembering a shared past
and in pursuit of a shared destiny. The seder is a protest
against despair. The universe might appear deaf to our

fears and hopes, but we are not—so we gather, and share
them, and pass them down—more than one hundred
generations of Jews have been here as we are—and we
will continue to wait for it. And we will not wait idly.
As we read [the words of the Haggadah]—as
our people’s ink-stained fingers turn its wine-stained
pages—new Haggadahs are being written. And as
future Jews at future tables read those Haggadahs, other
Haggadahs will be written. New Haggadahs will be
written until there are no more Jews to write them. Or
until our destiny has been fulfilled, and there is no more
need to say “Next year in Jerusalem.”

Did you know?
In 1972, in Brooklyn, a women’s collective created the
first feminist Haggadah.
In 2006, the Center for Cultural Judaism published
The Liberated Haggadah, for those who identify as
cultural, secular, and humanist Jews.
In 2007, the first Haggadah designed for Jewish Buddhists was published.
In 2012, the New American Haggadah was published
with (among other commentaries) a “Playground”
commentary by Lemony Snicket.
In 2014, you can make your very own Haggadah at

Tzedek v’Shalom
Singing Shabbat
Friday, May 9th at 6:30 p.m.
on the road…
at the Kol Emet, 1360 Oxford
Valley Road, Yardley, PA
Come join Bobbie, Debbie, Seth,
Francine, and Max as they lead/sing our
Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma’ariv
Service,
with Musical Director Jack Kessler, our very own Ralph on drums,
Robert Glatzer on keyboard, and hopefully a few more players. Jack is the director of
the ALEPH Cantorial Ordination Program, teaches voice and hazzanut, and is the vocal lead
of two touring ensembles ATZILUT—CONCERTS FOR PEACE, a duet format of Arab and
Jewish musicians performing together, and KLINGON KLEZMER.
The service starts at 6:30 and will take about an hour. Except for a short d’var Torah, a few page
numbers, and the appropriate silent prayers, it will be totally sung! With a special mix of old
Tzedek v’Shalom favorites and some new music, this will be joyful, moving Shabbat!
Afterwards we will keep our Shabbat tradition and have a Potluck Dinner. Please bring a
generously sized vegetarian/dairy entrée and drink to share. You may bring an additional dessert if
you’d like. Also, please bring serving utensils. We will provide the rest.
We’d appreciate an RSVP to Elana Braz at elanabraz@verizon.net so we can get a head count.
Please let your Jewish and/or music-loving friends know about this service. Everyone is welcome.
For questions, email Max Yaffe at maxyaffe@gmail.com
Jack Kessler has been called a one-man force of nature in Jewish music. (He has also been
called the Jewish Sun Ra; and he claims to have been called late for dinner). He sang Jewish liturgical
music as a Hazzan (Cantor) for twenty years before he decided that he prefers singing with a band.
Jack is musical director, vocalist, and composer-arranger for Klingon Klez, which describes itself as
“good old-fashioned, heartwarming, foot-stompin’ fun-for-the-whole family klez/funk fusion from
another planet.” He also directs Atzilut, a ten-member ensemble that performs Concerts for Peace,
featuring Arab and Jewish musicians in concert together. An excerpt from one review of Azilut
proclaims, “Cantor Jack Kessler’s deep, resonant voice, playing against Shaheen’s violin, and the
entire ensemble, is amazing! The result is music that gets deeper the longer that you listen, but that is
also a relaxing pleasure the first time through.”
To hear a range of Jack Kessler’s talents, listen to excerpts at http://atzilutmusic.com/ourmusic.htm

of our March 2nd Congregational Meeting to all
members. If you would like to receive that document
again, please contact Debby at deborahbossio@
comcast.net.
After kavannot, reports on our activities this
year, and discussion — with the help of our fabulous
facilitator Robin Eisenberg — everyone paused to
mark the flipboard listing our options for our future.
The nearly unanimous results were in favor of: Student
Rabbi/Guest Rabbi, Chavurah, or Musical/Arts
Chavurah.
Where do we go from here to get things done?
Robin again facilitated. And with seemingly little
effort, people who offered their time and energy to keep
us MOVING FORWARD:
“Student Rabbi/Guest Rabbi”: Joel decided to lead
a committee to investigate student/guest rabbis. Debbie
Chong and Noa Kuzma will help. They will come up
with a list of questions to investigate. Contact Joel if
you can help: Joel.bacher@comcast.net.
Connection to other congregation: Ralph will
lead finding out within a local congregations: if we
can go (join) with them; requirements, questions,
needs/concerns. Jerry, Jennifer, and Joan will give
input (phone #s, etc.). Contact Ralph if you can help:
ralph9816@gmail.com.
Chavurah: Diane will research the Chavurah
definition/requirements from the official organization,
including dues structures. Contact Diane if you want to
help with this: agoldn1@aol.com.
On May 4th, we will have a congregational
meeting to discuss our findings. This meeting will also
be facilitated by Robin Eisenberg.

One Weekend in March…
Were you there Friday night for the [March] singing
service? I found it so enjoyable and so did 25 others.
What a turn out and you weren’t there or maybe you
were and I know you enjoyed it as much as I did.
What a way to experience our Jewish tradition by
joining with others, feeling it within, and singing
--
it out. Of course the food was wonderful as usual
thanks to all the good cooks and shoppers.
And Saturday night Purim was amazing! The Rabbi
had so many costumes, her acting ability was right
on. All of the skits had us laughing and clapping.
Were we silly enough? I think so! I came home and
couldn’t stop singing the Mickey Mouse song, thank
you Naomi! And speaking of Naomi, she was the
cutest Bar Mitzvah boy. Not to forget Ralph’s hat,
Joel’s musical presentation, Burt and Ernie, and so
many others including all those who did readings in
what accent?!
Thanks so much to a wonderful group of people!

Book Discussion Group
The Wanting by Michael Lavigne
Sunday, May 18 @ 3:00 – 4:30 p.m.
at Diane and Arnie Gold’s home
1 Eton Road, Yardley, PA 19067
Diane Gold will facilitate.
The Wanting is the 2013-2014
One Book, One Jewish Community (OBOJC) selection.
In the galvanizing opening of The Wanting, the celebrated
Russian-born postmodern architect Roman Guttman is
injured in a bus bombing, causing his life to swerve into
instability and his perceptions to become heightened
and disturbed as he embarks on an ill-advised journey
into Palestinian territory. The account of Roman’s desert
odyssey alternates with the vivacious, bittersweet diary of his
thirteen-year-old daughter, Anyusha, and the startlingly alive
witnessings of Amir, the young Palestinian who pushed the button and now observes the havoc
he has wrought from a shaky beyond. Enriched by flashbacks to tale of Anyusha’s mother, a
famous Russian refusenik who died for her beliefs, The Wanting is a poignant study of the costs
of extremism. It is most satisfying, however, as a story of characters enmeshed in their imperfect
love for one another and for the heartbreakingly complex world in which they live.
Other books will be chosen for subsequent discussions at that meeting bring suggestions.
For more information, contact Diane at
215-295-2028 or Agoldn1@aol.com.

currently resides in Yardley, PA.
