here is our Haiku-Gada.... Additions were sent in from our Seder participants...but most of it was done by me for a good flow...

The Haiku-Gada:
Passover 5769
We gather to read the tale
That we tell each year

We read of bondage
We learn of Heb redemption
Open the door for strangers

House smells of Pesach
“Helping” by sneaking stealth bites
My numb one fave day (Sally Cohen-Cutler)

There is no freedom
Until the heart is open
Even unto the captor (Elaine Kaven)

I like haroset
I will drink four cups of wine
I will be too full (Sam)

Oh Great Haggadah
That I read every Pesach
Love matzah ball soup (Nathan Cutler)

True sentiment for
A Cohen-Cutler Seder
All leave very full

Seder means order
So we must keep it all straight
Tonight we eat late

From blessings on Wine
Officially numbering
Four, Sally you’re done

Now go wash your hands
Then we can have a bissel
But just a little

Don’t worry too much
Mid Matzah did not get hurt
But it is broken

With that it’s time to
Start the story of the Jews
Leaving Egypt quick

The Jews leave Egypt.
The steps of the Egyptian
first born lead the way. (Rob Kaven)

Into the desert
the living follow the dead.
Everyone eats dew. (Rob Kaven)

Learn to make the best
of bad wine and burnt bread
by draining four cups (Rob Kaven)

Call it miracle,
but don’t be sure they did, who
died in the wastelands (Rob Kaven)

Since you are all here
You have received the invite
Can we eat yet please?

No first we need to
Ask four interesting Qs
From the youngest Jew

This night’s different
Why is that the case he asks?
He goes on, three more

Why do we dip twice
Only eat bread unleaven
And recline so nice?

Now four sons, ask Qs
Allows for moral stories
A fave of the Jews

We go and learn more
As well as pour more a glass
Of wine, not too sweet

Almost time to eat
We must make sure hands are clean
Wash them with water

Say the Matzah prayer
Talk of Hillel and sandwich
Make and then enjoy

Say Baruch ha’shem!
It is time to eat some soup
Fowl, Asparagus

Flunken in Tzimmus
Stuffing and gefilta fish
Later jelly roll

By the way you friends
Asparagus and G-fish
Hard for the Haiku

While seldom done here
There is more to tell post food
Prayers, Wine, Elijah

Then we sing some songs
Rapping it up with thanks for
Freedom and the like

Tradition has said
Next year in Jerusalem
I say one more here!

(A Passover Limerick, but close enough)
There was a young fella named Donnie
Who posed us a quizzical quandary…
To write a haiku
About being a jew…
and the lessons from when we were wanderin’ (Jana Rosenblatt)
