Madlik Model Seder 2024

... Truly Your redeemed us from Egypt. Adonoy, our God, from the house of bondage You liberated us. All their firstborn You slew, and Israel, Your firstborn, You redeemed. The Sea of Reeds, You split for them, and the wicked, You drowned. You caused the beloved ones to pass through, while the waters covered their enemies; not one of them remained. Because of this, the beloved ones praised and exalted the Almighty; and the beloved ones offered hymns, songs, and praises, blessings and thanksgiving to the King, the Almighty, [Who is] living and enduring. (He is) exalted and uplifted, great and awesome; He humbles the haughty to the ground. and raises the lowly, to the heights. He frees the captives and redeems the humble, (and) helps the impoverished, and He answers His people Israel when they cry out to Him. Praises to the most high Almighty their redeemer, blessed is He,91 and He is blessed. Moses and the Children of Israel sang a song to You with great joy, and they all proclaimed:

IT WAS A NIGHT OF WATCHING UNTO THE LORD. ...Others say that watching here has the same meaning as the word watching in The watchers of the walls (Cant. 5:7); its meaning is that they should not sleep on this night but should praise God and relate the might that the Lord displayed when they went out of Egypt. Our sages hinted at the latter meaning when they said, The time for the reading of the morning shema has arrived.

this is a night that is continuously watched and protected from demons, meaning that demons have no power on the first night of Passover.

On the evening [or] of the fourteenth of the month of Nisan, one searches for leavened bread in his home by candlelight.

(19) By the sweat of your brow
Shall you get bread to eat,
Until you return to the ground—
For from it you were taken.
For dust*dust Heb. ‘afar. Cf. the second note at 2.7. you are,
And to dust you shall return.”

All leaven and anything leavened that is in my possession, whether I have seen it or not, whether I have observed it or not, whether I have removed it or not, shall be considered nullified and ownerless as the dust of the earth.

May it be Your will, Lord, our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that just as I remove the chametz from my house and from my possession, so shall You remove all the extraneous forces.

Remove the spirit of impurity from the earth, remove our evil inclination from us, and grant us a heart of flesh to serve You in truth.

Make all the sitra achara, all the kelipot, and all wickedness be consumed in smoke, and remove the dominion of evil from the earth. Remove with a spirit of destruction and a spirit of judgment all that distress the Shechina, just as You destroyed Egypt and its idols in those days, at this time. Amen, Selah.

BeHibaram - Rabbi Abahu in the name of Rabbi Yochanan said: BeHibaram, With [the letter] Hey He created. And what is this Hey? All the letters require the tongue and this [the Hey] does not require the tongue. Similarly, it was not with effort and not with toil that the Holy One created the world, rather, (Psalms 33:6) "By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth."

What does the wise [son] say? "'What are these testimonies, statutes and judgments that the Lord our God commanded you?' (Deuteronomy 6:20)" And accordingly you will say to him, as per the laws of the Pesach sacrifice, "We may not eat an afikoman [a dessert or other foods eaten after the meal] after [we are finished eating] the Pesach sacrifice (Mishnah Pesachim 10:8)."

(26) iLit. “From You is my praise.”Because of You I offer praise-i in the great congregation;
I pay my vows in the presence of His worshipers. (27) Let the lowly eat and be satisfied;
let all who seek the LORD praise Him.
Always be of good cheer!

Ten miracles were performed for our ancestors in the Holy Temple: [The sanctified meat never spoiled;] no woman ever miscarried after smelling the sanctified meat; [(Ten miracles were performed for our ancestors in Jerusalem:) no one was ever injured in Jerusalem;] no one stumbled and fell in Jerusalem; the fires of the altar were never extinguished in Jerusalem; no building ever collapsed in Jerusalem;

no one in Jerusalem ever said: I cannot find an oven to cook the Passover offering; no one in Jerusalem ever said: I cannot find [an affordable] bed to sleep in; no one in Jerusalem ever said: This place is too cramped for me to stay in. ...

Rent may not be collected there, except for [the use of] beds and mattresses. Rabbi Yehudah said: even rent for beds and mattresses [was not collected].
What would they do with the skins of the sacrificed animals? They would give them to the owners of guest houses. Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel said: innkeepers were inside the city, and the owners of guest houses were outside. The innkeepers would buy sheepskins with fine wool for four or five sela and then sell them to the people of Jerusalem, and that is how these homeowners got rich.

God’s Promise and Our Continuity
And it is this (promise) that stood for our ancestors.
It is the custom to lift the cup of wine as you recite this passage. This cup is associated with the second promise which God made, “I will deliver (hitzalti) you from their bondage.” (Ex. 6:6) This cup is called the cup of deliverance and salvation. We need to be aware that this promise of salvation is constant, just like the verse, “I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord.” (Ps. 116:13) For in every generation the Holy One saved us from their hands. This is a clear and proper explanation for this custom.
