Kabbalist’s Feast Tu’ B’Shvat Shabbat Seder, 2007 Edition AKA the Blogshul Seder
This year, Jewish Earth Day falls on Friday Night. I have adapted this Tu B’Shvat seder over the last four years, and this one is very special and made for Shabbat. Enjoy! Feel free to use this to enhance your seder and meal!
Parsha Bo spontaneous reflections
Its all about the matzah. Free myself from Egyptian slavery and awaken my inner freedom. Great days await you, out there in the desert. It’s frightening all this potential. After so many miracles and death and devastation, what will happen to us? to me? Where will I be when the chips fall, when the dust clears, when the clouds part. Will I be standing on the right side of the Nile?
Its all about the Passover offering, the Angel of Death, the Fast of the Firstborn, the Hillel Sandwich, the four questions, the Cup of Elijah, the plagues, telling it over like it was, one generation at a time. How many will hear the story from me? Is my table full of telling the story or is my table stuck in Egypt?
Its all about the horse radish, the hot sauce, the jalapeno peppers, the pain, the salt in my wounds. If slavery is so bitter how come this is my favorite part and I complain if its not hot enough, if itdoesn’t burn enough if my eyes are not watering well then its just not Passover.
Its all about the Haggadah, the Maxwell house, revised double standard new classic edition that sits unused for generations (thank GOD) in favor of the popular ones with nice drawings and politically nice speech and the Egyptians don’t drowned they just cycle through the karma or is it the darma, and God is a She and Pharaoh is my own neurosis, and Moshe is my homeboy, and Never Again, and Never Forget, and Darfur is burning.
Its all about Passover. I just wouldn’t be a Jew without it.
Let my people go.
Hashem, its time. Enough of this exile.
Let my people go.
You cannot imagine so many maps of Eretz Yisrael, from all sorts of perspectives and from so many years. This is truly a mind-blowing on-line adventure.
This beautiful collection of ancient maps of the Holy Land is part of a much larger collection that includes ancient maps of the world, early printed atlases and travel books. The entire extraordinary collection was donated by its renowned owner, Eran Laor in 1975 to the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem. The late Mr. Laor is the author of: Maps of the Holy Land, New York, 1986
