A beautiful reading for the Passover Table

“To mark the haste with which we fled, / we now eat matzah for eight days”

This reading is part of “From the Narrow Place to Hope: A Haggadah Supplement for Fertility Journeys.”

This ritual is an excerpt from “From the Narrow Place to Hope: A Haggadah Supplement for Fertility Journeys.”

“On the first day of Passover / we go for a walk on the beach…”

“Everything melted away except for the taste of warm dough and the salty reminder that we all come from the sea and  are nurtured by grains of the earth.”

“The blood-red droplets / make me think of Passover /. when we count and recount / the plagues our ancestors endured.”

“I sing and dance because at last my limbs, my blood and my voice are finally my own, and they are sweet.”

“Has darkness / settled upon us? Ninth plague? Can you see the way forward?”
