In this episode of Madlik, we explore a radical idea born on Israel\u2019s early kibbutzim in the 1920s and 30s: that Judaism isn\u2019t just inherited\u2014it\u2019s authored. We\u2019re joined by Eran Yarkoni and Anton Marks of the Shittim Institute, who are traveling the U.S. with their exhibition Haggadah of Hope.   Key Takeaways   1. The Haggadah Isn\u2019t a Book\u2014It\u2019s a Framework The kibbutzim didn\u2019t treat the Haggadah as sacred text to preserve, but as a structure to fill. They understood something we often forget: the power of the Seder comes not from repeating the words\u2014but from making them speak to your moment. 2. \u201cBechol Dor Vador\u201d Is a Command to Create We\u2019ve been taught to relive the Exodus. The kibbutzim took it one step further: we are obligated to rewrite it. Every generation doesn\u2019t just inherit the story\u2014it adds a chapter. 3. Ritual Isn\u2019t Escapism\u2014It\u2019s How We Process Reality From pioneers in the 1930s to displaced families after October 7, the Seder became a place to confront the present, not escape it. By writing their pain, loss, and hope into the Haggadah, these communities show that ritual, at its best, is not about the past\u2014it\u2019s about making meaning in real time.   Timestamps   [00:00] Kibbutz Haggadah Reimagined [01:24] Meet the Shitim Institute [04:07] Haggadah of Hope Tour [07:09] Inside the Kibbutz Archive [10:44] Haggadah as a Living Story [13:23] After October 7 Texts [15:01] Sponsor Break [16:08] Return Home in the Fourth Cup [23:26] Ma Nishtana Then and Now [28:23] US Reactions and Roadshow [30:16] Wrap Up and Passover Wishes   Links & Learnings   Sign up for free and get more from our weekly newsletter https:\/\/madlik.com\/ Sefaria Source Sheet: https:\/\/voices.sefaria.org\/sheets\/715964 Transcript here: https:\/\/madlik.substack.com\/ To donate to Shitim Institute: https:\/\/pefisrael.org\/charity\/machon-shittim\/ ","author_name":"Madlik Podcast \u2013 Disruptive Torah Thoughts on Judaism","author_url":"https:\/\/madlik.com\/","html":"
