    1. The Cup of Kiddish (Setting Apart) [Fill the first cup.]

    Leader: Baruch atah YaHuWaH Eloheinu Melech HaOlam boreh pree

    hagafen.

    Together: Blessed are You YaHuWaH our Mighty One, Sovereign of the

    Universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.

    Leader: You have set us apart and exalted us with Your

    commandments.

    Together: In love You have given us days of joy and seasons of

    gladness. Even this Feast of Unleavened Bread, a memorial of my

    departure from Mitsraim (Egypt).

    Leader: You have chosen us for your service and made us sharers in

    the blessings of your set apart festivals.

    Together: Praised be You Oh YaHuWaH, who set your children and this

    festival season apart.

    [All drink the first cup.]

    Leader: We have before us this Seder Plate. On it have been placed

    the main symbols of this celebration.

    Participant: First is the Karpas (parsley), the green vegetable, used to

    remind us that Passover comes in the Spring. The green represents

    new life.

    Leader: We will each take some parsely, dip it into the salt water and

    say the blessing together. We dip it into the salt water to remind us

    that a life without redemption is a life immersed in tears.

    [Each person take some parsley and dip it into the salt water.]

    Together: Blessed are You YaHuWaH our Mighty One, Sovereign of the

    Universe, Creator of the fruit of the earth. [All eat the greens]

    Participant: Next we have the Matzah Tash with three Matzos in it. As

    believers in Yshua, we believe this could represent the Triune

    Elohim (Mighty One)The Father, the Son, and the Ruach

    HaQodesh.

    Note: Our view is that the Matzah Tash could represent the Oneness

    (echad) of Elohim. There are 3 matzos in the Matzah Tash.

    (Creator-Messiah-Spirit). We are told by the rabbis that the Matzos

    must be striped and pierced to be useable for Passover. They

    cannot satisfactorily explain why the middle Matzoh is taken out,

    broken, hidden (buried) returned, and each person must partake of

    a piece of the Matzah when the Cup of Redemption is taken.

    Yeshayahu (aka Isaiah) 53 says the Messiah would be beaten

    (striped) and (Zecharyah 12) pierced for our sins. We believe the

    middle Matzah represents Messiah (Yahushua). That He returned

    (resurrected), and that each must take Him or reject Him for

    personal salvation.

    Together: Hear Oh Yisrael, YaHuWaH is our Mighty One, YaHuWaH is

    One. (DeBarim, aka Deuteronomy 4:6)

    Participant: This next symbol is the roasted shank bone which reminds

    us of the Paschal Lamb, Whose blood caused the Angel of Death to

    pass over the homes of our ancestors (Shemot, aka Exodus, 12:13) .

    Together: Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain to receive power, and

    riches, and wisdom, and honor, and esteem, and blessing. (Rev.

    5:12) The Lamb of Elohim, Whose Blood provides for my personal

    Passover from the Angel of Death.

    The Afikomen (breaking of the middle Matzah)

    Leader: [breaks the middle Matzah from the Matzah Tash into 2 parts.

    One part is laid on top of the Matzah Tash. The other part becomes

    the Afikomen and is wrapped in a linen cloth; it is then buried away

    until later.)

    Together: (concerning the 2nd part of the Matzah) Behold the Matzah,

    the bread of affliction our fathers ate in the desert. Let all who are

    hungry come and eat thereof; and all who are in need come and

    celebrate the Passover.

    Participant: Next we have the Moror /more-or/, the bitter herbs, which

    reminds us of the bitterness of slavery, which our ancestors were

    compelled to endure.

    Together: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from

    my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before

    me. Without your salvation my sin would be a bitter end.

    Participant: We have Charoset /har o set/ made to resemble mortar,

    used at this time to remind us of the mortar that our ancestors used

    to make bricks while slaves in Egypt.

    Together: It is sweet to remind us that the most bitter of labor is

    sweetened by the promise of redemption.

    2. The Cup of Deliverance [Fill the second cup.]

    The 4 Questions

    Mah nishtanah hallailah hazzeh mikkot hallaylot?

    Why is this night different from all other nights?

    1.Shebbchol halloylot anu ochlin chametz umatzah hallailah hazzeh

    kullo matzah.

    Other nights we may eat either leavened bread or unleavened

    bread: this night only unleavened bread.

    1.Shebbchol halloylot anu ochlin shar yrakot: hallailah hazzeh

    maror.

    Other nights we may eat all kinds of herbs, this night only bitter

    herbs.

    2.Shebbchol halloylot anu matbeelin afeelu pa-am echat: hallailah

    hazzeh shtay famim.

    Other nights we do not dip herbs even once, this night do we dip

    herbs twice.

    3.Shebbchol halloylot anu ochlin bayn yoshvin uvayn msubin:

    hallailah hazzeh kulanu msubin.

    Other nights we eat or drink either sitting or leaning, this night do

    we

    all lean.

    [For the sake of brevity, we will dispense with the story of the 4 sons

    expressing 4 attitudes toward Pesach]

    Leader: We shall now answer the four basic questions asked about

    Passover, which you have asked.

    Together: Once we were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and YaHuWaH in

    His goodness and mercy, brought us forth out of Egypt with a

    mighty hand and outstretched arm, with great terror, and with signs

    6/10

    and wonders. Therefore we gather year after year to retell this

    ancient story. For though it is ancient, it continues today in spirit as

    it proclaims mans need for redemption.

    Together: The first question asked regards the use of Matzah. We eat

    these unleavened cakes to remind us that our ancestors were

    redeemed so swiftly that the yeast did not have time to cause the

    dough to raise. So the bread was flat when baked in the baked in

    the desert. (Many times in the Scriptures yeast or leaven is used to

    represent sin. Yet, being redeemed, there is no sin found in us).

    Participant: We partake of the Moror on this night to remind us of how

    bitter is the lot of one caught up in slavery to sin.

    Together: We dip twice in this service, greens into salt water and

    bitter herbs into Charoset. The greens to remind us that a life

    without redemption is a life immersed in tears, and Moror into

    Charoset to remind us that even slavery is sweetened with the

    promise of redemption.

    Together: The fourth question is, why do we recline when eating on

    this night? In ancient times only the free person could eat in a

    reclining position. Slaves were to eat standing. On Passover, we

    are Redeemed. YaHuWaH has provided our freedom through His

    Paschal Lamb.

    The Story of the Exodus

    Leader: Our fathers went down into Mitsraim with only 70 persons

    (Debarim 10:22) YaHuWaH gave them many strong boys and girls

    and they became a great nation. (Debarim 26:5)

    Together: Then the Mitsrites feared us because of our numbers and

    over-powered us. They made us slaves in their land. (Debarim

    26:6)

    Leader: Our people, the nation of Yisrael groaned under the

    oppression. Their cries and prayers went up to YaHuWaH. (Shemot

    2:23)

  • 8/9/2019 Sacred Name Passover Hagaddah for Scribt Readers

    7/10

    Together: Then we cried out to YaHuWaH, Mighty One of our fathers,

    and YaHuWaH heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our

    labor and our oppression. (Debarim 26:7)

    Leader: Yah heard their groaning and Yah remembered His covenant

    with Abraham, with Yits-hak, and with Yaaqob. (Shemoth 2:24)

    YaH saw the condition of His children and Yah cared.

    Together: Yah sent 10 terrible plagues as a sign10 chances for the

    Mitsrites to obey Yah and set our people free.

    Leader: the 10th plague would be the death of the first born person in

    each family. Yah in His mercy provided protection for thos who

    trusted Him. The people were to take a spotless, white, male lamb

    and hand feed it four days. Then the lamb was to be killed. The

    blood was to be put on the top of the front of each house, and on

    both side posts of the door. When the Angel of Death came to the

    houses that night, death passed over the blood marked doors. (Is it

    any surprise that the blood dripping from the doors that night

    formed a cross).

    [We read aloud the plagues and deposit a drop of wine onto a napkin

    or saucer.]

    Together: blood frogs gnats (lice) flies (scrub beetles) pestilence

    (diseased livestalk) boils hail locusts (grass hoppers) darkness

    slaying of the first born

    [Set cups down.]

    Leader: A full cup of wine represents full joy. Though we are happy

    that we have been redeemed, our joy is diminished because our

    brothers the Mitsrites had to suffer for not listening to Yah.

    Therefore we have removed some of the wine from our cups to

    show our sorrow because those around us suffer.

    Together: We praise the Mighty One of Abraham, Yits-hak, and

    Yaaqob who kept His faith with His people Yisrael. YaHuWaHs

    promise of redemption in ancient days sustains me now as I know

  • 8/9/2019 Sacred Name Passover Hagaddah for Scribt Readers

    8/10

    that His promise remains forever true.

    [For the sake of brevity, we will dispense with singing Dayenu]

    Leader: With this 2nd cup, we recall the second promise of redemption.

    As it is written, I will deliver you from their bondage..no

    temptation will confront you , but that YaHuWaH will provide a way

    out.

    [All drink the 2nd cup and sing a song. Then the all hold up a piece of

    Matzah]

    Together: Blessed are You, YaHuWaH our Mighty One, Sovereign of

    the Universe, Who brings forth bread from the earth.

    [All eat the Matzah, then put some horse raddish with Charoset on a

    piece of Matzah and hold it up]

    Leader: We shall now partake of the bitter herb, combined with

    Charoset. Thus, we remember how bitter is slavery, yet the most

    bitter of labors is sweetened by the promises of redemption. [All

    take the Moror (horse radish) and Charoset. Then all take only the

    Matzah and bitter herb]

    Together: Blessed are You, YaHuWaH our Mighty One, Sovereign of the

    Universe, Who sets our lives apart by your commandments, Who

    has commanded us to eat the bitter herb.

    (All partake of the Moror.)

    [The meal is now served. Then, after the meal]

    [Fill the third cup. Psalm 126 can be recited here. Now the Afikomen

    is found, returned to the leader and distributed. Each person must

    eat from the Afikomen. Just as each person must come to Yahushua

    HaMashiyach for his or her personal salvation.]

    Leader: As it is written, After the meal, Yahushua took the bread and

    broke it and said, [holding up the Matzah] This is my body, which is

    broken for you, take and eat. [All eat the Afikomen] [Fill the third

    cup. Psalm 126 can be recited here. Now the Afikomen is found,

    returned to the leader and distributed. Each person must eat from

  • 8/9/2019 Sacred Name Passover Hagaddah for Scribt Readers

    9/10

    the Afikomen. Just as each person must come to Yahushua

    HaMashiyach for his or her personal salvation.]

    Leader: As it is written, After the meal, Yahushua took the bread and

    broke it and said, [holding up the Matzo] This is my body, which is

    broken for you, take and eat. [All eat the Afikomen]

    3. The Cup of Redemption

    Leader: [holding up the cup] As it is written, then Yahushua took the

    cup and said, this us a Renewed Covenant in my blood. Take and

    drink.

    Together: I will lift up the cup of redemption and call upon the name of

    YaHuWaH. Praise and thanksgiving to the Yah of Abraham, Yits-hak,

    and Yaaqob Who has provided the Lamb for my redemption.

    Hallelujah! Amen! [All drink the Cup of Redemption]

    4. The Cup of Praise [Fill the fourth cup.]

    Leader: Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of YaHuWaH, Praise the

    Name of YaHuWaH. [Play Song ]

    Together: Blessed are You YaHuWaH our Mighty One, Sovereign of the

    Universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine. [All drink the Cup of

    Praise]

    5. The Cup of Eliyahu [Fill the fifth cup.]

    Leader: In the book of Malachi, we are told that the Prophet Eliyahu

    will come as a forerunner to the Messiah. The people asked

    Yahushua if Yahuchanan the Immersion Witness was Eliyahu.

    Yahushua replied, If you accept it, he came in the power and spirit

    of him. We set a place at the table in thankful remembrance of

    when he was here to herald the freedom our Yahushua has given us

    through His death on the cross and in thankfulness for His

    resurrection from the dead which assures us of eternal life. We also

    look forward to the time when Eliyahu will herald the 2nd Coming of

    the Messiah. As the Emissary Shaul stated (ISR Version), For as

    often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, You proclaim the

  • 8/9/2019 Sacred Name Passover Hagaddah for Scribt Readers

    10/10

    death of the Master until He comes. I Cor. 11:26 [Send the son out

    to see if Eliyahu has come. The son returns to report that Eliyahu

    has not come] Since Eliyahu as not come, the Messiah will not

    come this year. We have completed the Pesach Seder according to

    its law and custom.

    As we have lived to celebrate it, so may we live to celebrate it again.

    Pure One, Who dwells in His habitation, redress the countless

    congregation. Speedily lead us of your stock, redeemed, to Tsion

    (aka Zion) singing praise to you.

    Together: Next year in Yahrushalayim!

    Post Script: Although there are seven promises that YaHuWaH related

    to Moshah in Shemoth 6:6-8, only five of them are represented in

    the Pesach Seder by the first five cups. I have a work in progress

    coming out soon entitled The Seven Tiys: 7 Hebrew Words That

    Unfold The Pattern of The Grand Design. It goes into this 7 part

    promise that YaHuWaH gave to Moshah, how it relates to a pattern

    that underlies Scripture from Bereyshith (aka, Genesis) to

    Revelation.
