Making Passover Your Own: “Be’Chol dor vador”

Leader: It is not enough to recall, in some abstract sense, the deliverance of the Jewish people
in ancient Egypt, but each Jew is responsible to view Passover as a time to commemorate their
own personal deliverance from slavery and bondage. Therefore the sages teach:

Reader 1: “In each and every generation an individual should look How is this seder
upon him or herself as if he or she personally had left Egypt.” “your own”? Are
you really free?

Leader: Because of this, let’s all recite the following declaration:

All Recite:

ve’ilu lo hotzi ha’kadosh barukh hu et avoteinu mi’mitzraim
harei anu u’vaneinu uv’nei vaneinu,

me’shubadim ha’yinu le’pharaoh be’mitzraim.

Had the Holy One, blessed be He, not taken out our forefathers from Egypt,
then we, our children, and our children’s children would still be enslaved to Pharaoh in Egypt.

Barukh Ha-Makom

Leader: And since the redemption was meant to lead us to the Torah at Sinai, we thank God:

God is called
“Ha’makom”
because He is the
place of all reality,
the Source, Ground,
and Substance of all
that is real... In Him
“we live and move
and have our being”
(Acts 17:28).

Barukh Ha-Makom, barukh hu!
Barukh she-natan Torah le-ammo Yisrael! Barukh hu!

Blessed is the Omnipresent, blessed be He!
Blessed is He who gave the Torah to His people Israel
Blessed be He!
