Ukraine

Haggadah Section: Nirtzah

“The idea that it’s possible to move from slavery to freedom and from darkness to light and from despair to hope—that is the greatest Jewish story ever told.”

--Rabbi Sharon Brous

We place a small dish of sunflower seeds on our Seder plate to show our solidarity with the people of Ukraine. Sunflowers are the national flower of Ukraine and have become a symbol of resistance against the country's invasion by Russian forces. Its exuberant and lively form represents the antithesisof the destruction now being suffered by the Ukrainian people.

We come before you, Adonai, praying for peace.
We stand together with our brothers and sisters in the Ukraine,
the birthplace of so many of our ancestors, a place where the Jewish people has known both light and darkness.

 

May our people remember that wherever a Jew is in danger or hurt,
we all feel that danger and pain as well. May all the innocent people in the Ukraine and throughout the region know that we are with them. Even from afar, we hear their cries. May they know that we will continue to advocate for peace among nations and that we will strengthen our commitment to aid and protect every human being. 

May the Source of All Life protect all of humanity from violence.
May the Source of Peace bring wisdom to their leaders
and bring a sense of tranquility, shalvah, to the people of the region
and peace to all who are endangered.

לְשָׁנָה הַבָּאָה יִהְיֶה שָׁלוֹם

For next year, ket there be peace.

--Adapted from Rabbi Rachel Sabath Beit-Halachmi
