Passover (3): The Two-Minute Haggadah

The Two-Minute Haggadah

- A Passover service for the impatient.


For those of you who don't have the patience to sit thru a full Seder:  The Two-Minute Haggadah - A Passover service for the impatient.

Opening prayers:

    Thanks, God, for creating wine.  (Drink wine.)
   Thanks for creating produce.  (Eat parsley.)

Overview:

Once we were slaves in Egypt.  Now we're free.  That's why we're doing this.

Four questions:
    1.  What's up with the matzoh?
    2.  What's the deal with horseradish?
    3.  What's with the dipping of the herbs?
    4.  What's this whole slouching at the table business?

Answers:
1.  When we left Egypt, we were in a hurry. There was no time for making decent bread.
2.  Life was bitter, like horseradish.
3.  It's called symbolism.
4.  Free people get to slouch.

A funny story:

    Once, these five rabbis talked all night, then it was morning.  (Heat soup now.)

The four kinds of children and how to deal with them:
    Wise child-explain Passover.
    Simple child-explain Passover slowly.
    Silent child-explain Passover loudly.
    Wicked child-brow beat in front of the relatives.

Speaking of children:  We hid some matzoh.  Whoever finds it gets five bucks.
 

The story of Passover:

    It's a long time ago. We're slaves in Egypt. Pharaoh is a nightmare. We cry out for help. God brings plagues upon the Egyptians. We escape, bake some matzoh. God parts theRed Sea. We make it through. The Egyptians aren't so lucky. We wander 40 years in the desert, eat manna, get the Torah, wind up in Israel, get a new temple, enjoy several years without being persecuted again. (Let brisket cool now.)

The 10 Plagues:  Blood, Frogs, Lice-you name it.

The singing of "Dayenu":
    If God had gotten us out of Egypt and not punished our enemies, it would've been enough. If He'd punished our enemies and not parted the Red Sea, it would've been enough. If He'd parted the Red Sea (remove gefilte fish from refrigerator now.) etc.

Eat matzoh.  Drink more wine.  Slouch.

Thanks again, God, for everything.

SERVE MEAL.

Say Grace. Drink more wine. Sing some more songs. Try to stay awake.

Who knows one? Who knows two through thirteen?

Dad bought a goat for two zuzim. Everyone beats up every one until God steps in.

Go to sleep.

Do it again another night.

 

Prophecy Digested

Prove All Things knowing that all Prophecy is about Jesus and God revealing His Son…To us..for our…Salvation. We post material that is questionable, objectionable, and in the opinion of the Editor of the Prophetic Perspective, valid to use as God chooses to. Sometimes that is highly suspect as material setting “dates” of the Rapture is, but often these posts, may have pieces that are correct to futher study.
