On kibbutz, secular seders stray from tradition

PASSOVER FEATURE
(JTA) – The families surround long tables covered by white tablecloths. Festive decorations line the walls, and the kitchen is free of chametz, the leavened foods forbidden on Passover. Seder plates sit in front of hungry participants.But instead of someone reading the Haggadah or reciting the kiddush over wine, the crowd sings a modern Israeli kids’ song about Passover: “Great joy! Great joy! Spring has arrived, Pesach is here!”
Obitelj okružuje dugi stol pokriven bijelim stoljnjakom. Blagdanske dekoracije se nalaze na zidovima, u kuhinji nema "chametza"- hrane koja je zabranjena na Pesah. Sedersko suđe nalazi se pred gladnim učlesnicima. Ali umjesto da netko čita Hagadu ili govori kiduš za vino, pjevaju se moderne izraelske pjesme za Pesah: "veliko veselje, veliko veselje, dolazi nam proljeće, Pesah je ovdje!"
. Tako počinje praznik u Ramat Yochanan, 80 godina starom sekularnom kibucu blizu Haife.
Mnogi Izraelci, koji su sekularni, sudjeluju na tradicionalnom sederu na Pesah. Kao i kod američkih Židova, seder je jedan od najčešćih vjerskih rituala. Nekoiko najstarijih izraelskih kibuca održavaju
sekularni seder prema vlastitim načinima , a ne prema diktatu tradicionalne Hagade. U mnogim sekularnim kibucima naglasak je na temama koje su motivirale naseljenike da dođu prije gotovo jednog stoljeća: sloboda, priroda i povratak Židova u zemlju Izrael.

...At Kibbutz Ein Shemer, near the Mediterranean coast, the seder is marked by children’s plays, Israeli folk sing-alongs and musical performances. Hundreds of kibbutz members and their guests attend. The kibbutz Haggadah, which it has used for decades, has four sections: spring, from freedom to slavery, peace and the land of Israel. The division is a nod to the sets of four (cups of wine, sons, etc.) that pepper the original Haggadah...
Shlomo Deshen, author of “Secular Israelis on Pesach Night,” says kibbutzim long have led the way in making Passover a modern Israeli holiday of “Zionism, socialism, humanism.”..
At Ramat Yochanan, one of the community’s Passover highlights is a gathering on the holiday’s first day in a wheat field for a reenactment of a ceremony described in the Talmud: the wheat harvest celebration.
Kibbutz Mishmar Haemek, in northern Israel, stages a smaller harvest ceremony.
“Our holiday is based on our being an agricultural town and the spring being an awakening,” said Raya Shlomi, who runs the kibbutz’s seder.
As the kibbutz movement has changed in recent decades, becoming less communal, the seders at Ramat Yochanan have shrunk. Decades ago, more than 1,000 people used to turn out for the holiday celebration; today the number is down to 400, according to Feinstein. Most kibbutz members now choose to celebrate at home with their families, she says.
