A passion project of mine this year has been to write a new Haggadah for Passover. I love hosting Seder every year, and the holiday always feels so theatrical (which naturally I also love). Every year I skip over the parts I think are unnecessary and keep the greatest hits (who doesn’t love Deyenu?).
The main thing I wanted to address in mine was making the language feel more inclusive and welcoming. I feel so much of Judaism is still rooted in Patriarchal roles, so finding room for women and LGBTQ+ people to take up more space at the table and in the holiday felt really important to me.
