You very bad man, Jerry. Very bad man. – Babu Bhatt

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon. - Allan Stewart Konigsberg

As we rejoice at our deliverance from slavery, we acknowledge that our freedom was hard-earned with a hardened heart. We regret that our freedom came at the cost of the Egyptians’ suffering.Dip a finger or a spoon into your wine glass for a drop for each plague.

These are the ten plagues which God brought down on the Egyptians:

Blood | dam |דָּם

Frogs | tzfardeiya |צְפַרְדֵּֽעַ

Lice | kinim |כִּנִּים

Beasts | arov |עָרוֹב

Cattle disease | dever |דֶּֽבֶר

Boils | sh’chin |שְׁחִין

Hail | barad |בָּרָד

Locusts | arbeh |אַרְבֶּה

Darkness | choshech |חֹֽשֶׁךְ

Death of the Firstborn | makat b’chorot |מַכַּת בְּכוֹרוֹת

What are some modern day plagues that we face today? Feel free to shout them out!

FIRST THEY CAME...BY PASTOR MARTIN NIEMOLLER

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. ( Contributed by Paul Marantz)

OUR LIBERTY IS BOUND TOGETHER,ABORIGINAL ACTIVISTS GROUP, QUEENSLAND, 1970S

If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together (Contributed by Emily Marantz).
