The Human Rights Haggadah

The Passover Story touches on every aspect of human rights, from the bitter oppression of slavery to the moral dilemmas that arise when fighting for even a cause as justified as freedom.

This Haggadah makes Passover relevant to the most pressing political and religious dilemmas we face today.

The Human Rights Haggadah helps you use the seder to discuss and learn about human rights.

  • What human rights have roots in Jewish sources? Where are there conflicts? When a verse of the Torah or statement of the Rabbis goes against human rights values, what do we do?
  • What rights can we agree are absolute and universal? Are there some that cannot apply all the time? Do some rights take precedence over others?
  • Some human rights concern governmental policies and the military. But what human rights principles affect decisions we make each day?
