Here we are, holed up in our homes, terrified of a microscopic bit of stuff that has spread throughout our global community.  By all rights we should be gathered with family and friends, sharing rituals and pouring wine for each other, catching up on the year past and enjoying great food and familiar lessons.

But not tonight.  Tonight we are images on a screen and sounds from a speaker.  The world made smaller by technology and travel now has us isolated in person.

No matter. In every generation, each of us has an obligation to see ourelves as having been liberated from the narrowness of Egypt.  And however we can accomplish it, we will. Settle in, participate as you choose, and build a memory that you be part of your story -- how we we were freed from the oppression of the coronavirus!

AN OPEN LETTER TO DR. ANTHONY FAUCI ASKING FOR PASSOVER SEDER ADVICE

by JACKIE PICK

Dear Dr. Fauci,

I’m really sorry to bother you, it’s just that I’m hosting a virtual Seder this year and I want to make sure everything is kosher. I mean, this night will be different from all other nights, mostly because I’m not even sure what night it is anymore. You too, probably, but for different reasons. You’re busy saving the world on four hours of sleep (Dayenu, am I right?), and I’m busy watching C-SPAN, eating Lucky Charms by the fistful, and not bothering to change from my daytime athleisure wear to my nighttime athleisure wear.

This is all just to say that not only are you our country’s best hope and conveyor of concise medical information, but you’re also America’s zayde, trustworthy and sage.

I’ve checked the CDC website and none of this is on there, so if you have a few minutes to answer these questions, I’d be grateful:

• How do I disinfect a Seder plate?
• How many extra handwashing steps should I add to the Seder? I mean, there are two already built-in. Should I add more, possibly ratcheting the evening up to seven hours, or should we just hold the whole thing over the sink?
• Because this debate will come up (it’s the nature of the beast): Would wandering in the desert be advisable at this time? That is assuming there is manna from heaven and/or Amazon Prime, enough water and shelter, and we keep six feet away from other wanderers.
• We’re forbidden from eating things like leavened wheat, barley, rye, oats, or spelt. Unfortunately, the only thing left at Costco yesterday was a 50-pound sack of spelt. I’ll obviously hold off on eating it until after the holiday but need to know what is the LD50 on spelt?
• I’d love to be sure I’m coronavirus-free before asking my husband and kids to the table, but the only tests I can get my hands on are an expired ClearBlue Easy and a gently used Cologuard. Which do you think would reassure my family more?
• My Uncle Murray insists on tweeting that Manischewitz cures coronavirus. In case the president sees this, please tell him it’s not true. Also that he shouldn’t retweet it, no matter how tempted he is by Uncle Murray’s use of all-caps.
• When the Treasury sends everyone some “Corona cash,” would you mind bundling that with a Xanax prescription for parents? You see, we’ve been e-learning these last few eternal days, and if we have to hear one more question — never mind four questions — a great cry will go out over all the land, such as never has been heard before, and never will be heard again.
• Can the president use the Defense Production Act to have gefilte fish factories converted to make… literally anything else?
• Does opening the door for Elijah violate the “no more than ten people” gathering rule?
• Instead of sending the kids on a search for the hidden afikomen, can I send them on a search around town for a megapack of Charmin Ultra, even if it means they miss some of the Seder? Not your area of expertise, but I trust your judgment on these matters.
• I’ve been carb-loading ever since we started sheltering in place. Will the charoset act like my own personal digestive mortar? Or will it put me on the express chariot to the hoop?
• Where can I find Kosher for Passover matzah? I know this is another question outside your field, but maybe you can ask Steve Mnuchin. He’s probably got an entire pallet hidden in his basement lair next to a golden calf.
• Our local dispensary is an essential business. Can I go there for the requisite “bitter herb?”
• I know you’re unable to state for sure, but based on your experience, do you think “Next Year in Jerusalem” — politics aside — is feasible? Or should it be changed to “Next Year via FaceTime”?

Thank you, Dr. Fauci, for leading us through this. When this is all over, please come for dinner. Hope you like spelt.

— Jackie

A Seder Responsive Reading in the Age of Coronavirus

As we fill our four cups of wine, we pray for a time when our cups will yet again be overflowing.

As we wash our hands, we affirm our role in protecting ourselves and others.

As we dip in salt water, we cry the tears of a planet besieged.

As we break the matzah, we long to be made whole.

As we ask the four questions, we search for the answers that elude us.

As we remember the ten plagues, we contemplate our own.

As we imagine our own redemption from Egypt, we aspire to be free.

As we sing Dayenu, we beseech, may our efforts to combat this pandemic be enough.

As we eat the matzah, we contemplate our impoverished state.

As we consume the bitter herbs, we empathize with another’s pain.

As we enjoy the haroset, we remember the sweetness which awaits us.

As we search for the afikomen, we pray to be connected to our missing pieces.

As we welcome Elijah, we pray for redemption.

As we sing songs of praise, we remain grateful for all of God’s gifts.

A Coronavirus Prayer

Oh God Who dwells among us as in Heaven,
  grant us wisdom, understanding and knowledge;
  help us eradicate the coronavirus that threatens all people.

Assist the angels of healing,
  the doctors, nurses, first-responders, and caregivers!
Grant them the insight, the intuition,
  humility and steadfast spirit they need at this time

Endow and fortify the spirit of those who are sick with the virus
  with inner strength and faith; may they receive the proper
  medical care that they require for a speedy recovery.

Help us conquer our anxieties and fears of what we do not know.
Let us come together in the spirit of a common humanity;
Let us work on creating the ties that bond our families
   and communities together.

We pray for Divine Compassion in fighting this pandemic.
Give us the faith and vision to persevere  
And the wisdom to learn the valuable lessons
  that we all belong to one human family;  
  we need each other’s support.

And for those who have lost loved ones,
Let us as a community to offer our love and support.
May God’s divine presence look after the survivors,
And give them the strength they need at this time.  

As we fill our four cups of wine, we pray for a time when our cups will yet again be overflowing.

As we wash our hands, we affirm our role in protecting ourselves and others.

As we dip in salt water, we cry the tears of a planet besieged.

As we break the matzah, we long to be made whole.

As we ask the four questions, we search for the answers that elude us.

As we remember the ten plagues, we contemplate our own.

As we imagine our own redemption from Egypt, we aspire to be free.

As we sing Dayenu, we beseech, may our efforts to combat this pandemic be enough.

As we eat the matzah, we contemplate our impoverished state.

As we consume the bitter herbs, we empathize with another’s pain.

As we enjoy the haroset, we remember the sweetness which awaits us.

As we search for the afikomen, we pray to be connected to our missing pieces.

As we welcome Elijah, we pray for redemption.

As we sing songs of praise, we remain grateful for all of God’s gifts.

Now, we're going to take the wine/juice that we've poured and each add to Elijah's cup.

Now let's do the same from our water glasses to fill Miriam's cup.

Combining our actions together is what will help Elijah come to ourworld.

 We set an extra place for Elijah and we'll open the door and invite him in later. Miriam was Moses's sister and we honor her for how she helped Moses wich made our story possible today.

As we wash our hands
We pray,
Blessed is the Soul of the Universe,
Breathing us in and breathing us out.
May our breaths continue
And our health and the health of all
Be preserved
In this time of sickness and fear of sickness.
Holy Wholeness,
We take as much responsibility for this as we can
By observing the obligation to wash our hands
Thoroughly:
For as long as it takes to say this prayer.
Amen

The Torah Speaks of Four Kinds of People Who Use Zoom:

The Wise, the Wicked, the Simple, and the One Who Does Not Know How to “Mute.”

The Wise Person says: “I’ll handle the Admin Feature Controls and Chat Rooms, and forward the Cloud Recording Transcript after the call.”

The Wicked Person says: “Since I have unlimited duration, I scheduled the meeting for six hours—as it says in the Haggadah, whoever prolongs the telling of the story, harei zeh ‘shubach, is praiseworthy.”

The Simple Person says: “Hello? Am I on? I can hear you but I can’t see you.” [Jerusalem Talmud reads here: “I can see you, but I can’t hear you.”]

The One Who Does Not Know How to Mute says: “How should I know where you put the keys? I’m stuck on this stupid Zoom call with these idiots.”

To the Wise Person you should offer all of the Zoom Pro Optional Add-On Plans.

To the Wicked Person you should say: “Had you been in charge, we would still be in Egypt.”

To the Simple Person you should say: “Try the call-in number instead.”

To the One Who Does Not Know How to Mute you should say: “Why should this night be different from all other nights?”

Coronavirus Passover thoughts by Dr. Seuss:

I do not want you in my house

I do not want you or your spouse

I do not wish to eat with you

At Seder Night one or two!

Don't get me wrong, I think you're nice

But the CDC gave out this advice,

"Ten Plagues are enough, you don't need one more 

Turn away Elijah, the prophet, if he shows up at your front door"

This year's only guests: Father, mother, sister, brother. 

NEXT YEAR in Jerusalem! We will say to each other.

From now on at each seder, this story we'll tell,

Of how God saved his people with a squirt of PURELL!!

The novel coronavirus is an epidemic disease, and now, a pandemic because it has spread around the world. And, like a plague, it is causing widespread affliction, as well as pain, loss, and distress. So, shall we liken it to the biblical plagues of our ancestors? I should say not.

You see, when the coronavirus is under control across the world, society will begin to recover. There was no recovery after the first, second, third, or tenth plague of Egypt. There was one disaster followed by the next. Do you know how else this disease is different from those we witnessed in ancient Egypt? In a sudden moment God brought forth a plague, and in another, God ended it. The afflictions did not grow exponentially – locusts covered the fields instantly, pestilence of livestock occurred instantly, and all of the first born died in a single night. Do you know the main reason that in our time of crisis and uncertainty we should choose our words carefully and sensitively and not compare COVID-19 to a biblical plague on Passover? Because all of us have within us the power to  flatten the curve, reduce the infection rate, and most importantly, help those in our neighborhoods who need our help.
