Haggadah
On
behalf of Hebrew Malkhut Israel; Welcome to Pesach 2008; this is our 4th annual
observance and we are still learning to experience the moedim of our Elohim.
If
you have questions or comments, please feel free to lift your hand and be
recognized. If we are not too busy, we will answer questions and comments
immediately. If we are busy, please write them down so that they are not
forgotten.
I
wish to thank each and every one of you for honoring me with your presence.
Todah
rabah to all who have helped in food, and home preparations; encouragement,
insights; spoken and written; and financially.
All
praise, honor, and esteem goes to our Abba, YHWH and our Redeemer and High
Priest; Yahushua HaMashiach: for the instruction and command to keep HIS Pesach!
May
the Ruach guide and direct us into the full understanding of this and all of
YHWH’s moedim.

Lighting of the Festival candles;
We begin our service with the lighting of the candles, as we remember from Beresheeth 1:3 that the first thing YHWH created was light.
_________Recites
the blessing, while lighting the candles.
The
first reading: Ber. /Gen. 1:14 “And Elohim said, ‘Let there be lights
in the firmament of the shamayim, to divide the day from the night; and let them
be for signs, and for moedim, and days, and years.’”
Shemoth/Exodus
12: 2+6-20 “This month shall be for you the beginning of months: it shall be
the first month in the year for you”; “And you shall keep it [the lamb] up
until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the
congregation of Yisrael shall kill it between the evenings. And they shall take
of the dahm, and strike it on the two side posts and the upper doorpost of their
batiym
In
which they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted
with fire, and matzah; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Eat none of it
raw, nor cooked, or boiled at all with mayim, but roasted with fire; its head
with its legs, with the inside parts. And you shall let nothing of it remain
until the morning; and that which remains until the morning you shall burn with
fire. And This is how you shall eat it; with your loins dressed, your shoes on
your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in a great hurry:
it is YHWH’s Pesach.
For
I will pass through the land of Mitzrayim this night, and will smite all the
bachor in the land of Mitzrayim, both man and beast; and against all the elohim
of Mitzrayim I will execute mishpat: I am YHWH. And the dahm shall be to you for
an ot upon the batiym where you are: and when I see the dahm, I will pass over
you and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, When I smite the land
of Mitzrayim. And this day shall be to you for a memorial; and you shall shomer
it as a moed to YHWH throughout your generations; you shall shomer it as a moed
by a mishpat le-olam-va-ed.
Seven
days shall you eat matzah: even the first day you shall put away chametz out of
your batiym: for whoever eats lechem with chametz, from the first day until the
seventh day, that being shall be cut off from Yisrael. And in the first day
there shall be a miqra kodesh, and on the seventh day there shall be a miqra
kodesh to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every
man must eat, that only may be done by you. And you shall observe Chag Matzoth;
for on this very day have I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitzrayim:
Therefore shall you observe this day in your generations by a mishpat le-olam-va-ed.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings,
you shall eat matzah, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. Seven
days shall there be no chametz found in your batiym: for whoever eats that which
is chametz, even that being shall be cut off from the congregation of Yisrael,
whether he be a ger, or born in the land. You shall eat nothing with chametz; in
all your dwellings shall you eat matzah.”
Wayiqra/Lev.
23: 4-8; “These are the moedim of YHWH, even miqra kedoshim, which you shall
proclaim in their appointed times. On the fourteenth day of the first month
between the evenings is YHWH’s Pesach. And on the fifteenth day of the same
month is Chag HaMatzoth
to YHWH: seven days you must eat matzah. In the first day you shall have a miqra
kodesh, you shall do no laborious work on it. But you shall offer an offering
made by fire to YHWH for seven days: on the seventh day is a miqra kodesh: you
shall do no laborious work on it.”
Kiddush; second readings
John
17: 13-26; “And now I return to you; but these things I speak in the olam
hazeh, that they might have my simcha completed within themselves. I have given
them Your word; and the olam hazeh has hated them, because they are not of the
olam hazeh, even as I am not of the olam hazeh. I request not that you should
take them out of the olam hazeh, but that You should keep them from the evil.
They are not of the olam hazeh, even as I am not of the olam hazeh. Set them
apart through Your emet: Your word is emet. As You have sent Me into the olam
hazeh, even so have I sent them into the olam hazeh. And for their sake I set
Myself apart, that they also might be kadosh through the emet. Neither do I make
tefillah for these alone, but for them also who shall believe on Me through
their word. That they all may be echad; As You, Abba, are with Me, and I with
You, that they may also be echad with Us: That the olam hazeh may believe that
You have sent Me. And the tifereth, which You have given Me, I have given them;
that they may be echad, even as We are echad. I with them, and You with Me, that
they may be perfected into echad; and that the olam hazeh may know that You have
sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. Abba, I will that they also,
whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may see My tifereth,
which You have given Me: for You loved Me from before the foundation of the olam
hazeh. O My Tzadik-Abba, the olam hazeh has not known You: but I have known You,
and these have known that You have sent Me. And I have declared to them Your
Name, and will yet declare it: so that the ahava with which You have loved Me
may be in them, and I in them.
Ivrim/Heb.
2: 9-12; “ But we see Yahshua, who was made a little lower then the heavenly
malachim for the suffering of death, crowned with tifereth and honor; because He
tasted death for every man, apart from Eloah of course. For it was fitting for
Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons
to tifereth, to make the Sar of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For
both He that sets apart and those who are being set apart are all echad: For
which reason He is not ashamed to call them Yisraelite brothers, Saying, I will
declare Your Name to My Yisraelite brothers,…”
Ephisyah/Ephesians
5: 25-27 “Husbands, love your wives, even as Moshiach also loved the
Yisraelite congregation, and gave Himself for it; that He might set it apart and
cleanse it with the washing of mayim by the Word, That He might present it to
Himself a beautiful Yisraelite congregation, not having spots or wrinkles, or
any such thing; but that it should be kadosh and without blame.”
Everyone
stands:
Leader:
Baruch Ata YHWH, Eloheinu, Melech ha’olam borei p’ri ha gafen,
All:
Blessed are You YHWH, our Mighty One, King of the universe, who created the
fruit of the vine. Awemien!
Everyone
is seated or reclines to their preference;
Urchatz:
Washing without the blessing
Just
as the priests had to wash before serving in the temple; (Ex. 30: 18-21) We
cleanse ourselves before partaking in this kadosh memorial.
Karpas:
The Bitter Herbs
Leader:
Baruch Ata YHWH, Eloheinu, Melech ha’olam borei p’ri ha adamah,
All:
Blessed are You YHWH, our Mighty One, King of the universe, who created the food
from the earth. Awemien!
Everyone
takes some of the bitter herbs and dip into the bowl of salt water.
We
dip the Karpas, the bitter herb; which reminds us of the bitter bondage of our
forefathers in Egypt, while also giving us a yearly reminder of our won bitter
servitude to sin; we dip it in salt water to remind us of the sweat and tears
under which Israel was born. We dip a second time to remind us of Israel’s
baptism in the Red Sea, and our own need to be born again in the Ruach.
Dip
bitter herb the second time and eat.
Yachatz:
Breaking the Matzah
Notice
that the center of three matzahs is removed.
Hamashiach
was taken from His place between the cherubim; (II Kings 19: 15) And sent to
earth to be broken.
See
the stripes! A reminder of the stripes HaMashiach took for us.
See
the holes! A reminder of the nails driven through His hands and feet, and the
spear that pierced His side.
Third
reading: Yochanan/John 6:48-51; “ I am that lechem of chayim. Your
ahvot did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the lechem that
comes down from the shamayim that a man may eat of it, and not die. I am the
Living Lechem Who came down from the shamayim: if any man eats of This Lechem,
he shall live le-olam-va-ed: and the Lechem that I give is My flesh, which I
give for the life of the olam hazeh.”
Mageed:
The Bread of Affliction
This
is the bread of affliction our forefathers ate coming out of Egypt. May those
who hunger for True Freedom, and those in distress, come and celebrate the
Pesach with us.
All;
We thank You YHWH for Your mercy shown to our forefathers, and to us. May we
learn to show mercy to one another. Awemien!
Fourth
reading: Shem./Ex.
12:34+39; And the people took their dough before it was chametz, their kneading
bowls being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. And they baked
unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Mitzrayim, for it
was not chametz; because they were driven out of Mitzrayim, and could not delay,
neither had they prepared for themselves any food.”
The cup of Instruction:
While
the glasses are being filled, the children stand up and ask the four questions.
Do not drink until after supper.
Why
is night different from all other nights?
On
other nights we may eat unleavened and leavened bread, but on this night why do
we only eat unleavened bread?
On
other nights we eat all types of herbs, but tonight why must we eat bitter
herbs?
On
other nights we sit up at the table, but tonight why do we recline to eat?
After
the children’s questions have been answered,
Someone
start retelling the story of the Exodus. In order to give everyone a chance to
participate in this please make your part of the story somewhat brief, although
thorough. If someone has skipped something, or something needs to be corrected,
(obvious errors only please) please feel free to raise your hand and wait to be
acknowledged, before making your correction.
Supper
will commence while the story is being told. Feel free to eat, as we have
blessed the food earlier.
After
the supper and the retelling of the Exodus, everyone lifts their glass of wine
and shouts,
La
chaim and drinks up.
Fifth
reading: John 13:2-12
Rachatz:
The foot washing
Women
will retire to the living room while the men remain in the dining room.
(After
everyone has participated in the foot washing, all will return to their places.)
Motzee
Matzah: eating the matzah
Leader
Baruch Ata YHWH, Eloheinu, Melech ha’olam ha motzi lechem min ha’eretz
All:
Blessed are you YHWH, our Mighty One, King of the universe who brings forth
bread from out of the earth.
Leader:
Baruch ata YHWH Eloheinu, Melech ha olam asher kid’shannu b’mitzvotav
v’tzivanu al achilat matzah,
All:
Blessed are You YHWH our Mighty One, King of the universe, Who has set us apart
by Your commands and has commanded us to eat unleavened bread, Awemien!
Read
Luke 22: 19
Matzah is broken and passed around; everyone takes a piece and eats it.
We
take another piece of Matzah and this time we put Maror/ bitter herbs or
horseradish on it and eat it. This reminds us of the bitterness of Yahshua’s
last hours. Take another matzah and dip in Charoses anciently used to remind us
of the mortar used by our forefathers to make bricks, but to us it reminds us of
the sweetness of the ahava
of HaMashiach, who took our punishment that we might have eternal life,
delivering us from our sins.
The Cup of Redemption:
Wine
is poured and passed around.
Leader:
Baruch ata YHWH Eloheinu, Melech ha’ olam borei p’ri ha gafen
All;
Blessed are You YHWH, our Mighty One, King of the universe, who created the
fruit of the vine. Awemien!
Read
Luke 22:20
Everyone
drinks.
Read
John 15:1- 17: 26
Conclude
with prayers.
We
now sing praises, and continue in fellowship. (Some may wish to fellowship
throughout the night, and are welcomed to do so, as the host must stay up until
all of the Pesach lamb is destroyed with fire.)
Don’t
forget that today is a miqra kodesh, another meeting in the afternoon.
Happy
Pesach, Rejoice our Redeemer lives!!!
