A Passover toolkit and Haggadah insert for communities exploring freedom, dignity, and the enduring relevance of the Exodus story.
Passover asks us a central question: what does it mean to be free? For many Jewish communities, that question extends to abortion access, bodily autonomy, and the right to make moral decisions according to one’s own values and conscience.
Red Tent Fund has created two free resources for congregations, havurot, families, and individuals who want to bring these conversations to the seder table and beyond. Whether you are leading a community gathering or looking for something to share with your own family, we hope these tools meet you where you are.
Passover Toolkit includes:
- Framing text connecting the Exodus story to bodily autonomy and moral courage
- The story of the midwives Shifrah and Puah, with reflection questions
- A Miriam’s Cup ritual for the seder table
- A One Word Practice for group reflection
- A new fifth question to add alongside the Four Questions
Haggadah Insert includes:
- Text and tradition connecting Jewish teachings on pregnancy, dignity, and pikuach nefesh to abortion access
- A Miriam’s Cup ritual with a shared water practice
- A fifth question framing abortion access within the Exodus story
- Discussion questions for the seder table
- A closing blessing drawn from the stories of the midwives and Miriam
