Passover Haggadah Bookmark

The Jewish Outreach Institute has produced a Passover Haggadah Bookmark. The bookmark has a picture depicting a Passover scene on one side and a message about welcoming others on the other side.

The Passover Bookmark is available for download here in color.
[The bookmark is in a PDF format and therefore requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader Plug-In.]

The directions for printing the Bookmark:
1. Open the file.
2. Select File>Print. Print Page 1 of 2 only.
3. Once the printer finishes Page 1, flip the page over and place it back into the printer.
4. Select File>Print. Print Page 2 of 2 on the opposite side of Page 1.
5. Cut Bookmark out, using the dotted lines as a guide.
6. Place this Bookmark in the Haggadah during your Passover Seder.
7. Use the text as a supplement, to be read at any point that feels right, in order to welcome in     those non-Jewish and intermarried guests at your meal.

Note: There are two different bookmarks, each with a picture from Beth Shalom Congregation in Taylorsville, MD. You will get three bookmarks when you print the bookmark page. Two will have the first picture and there will be one with the second picture.

Text on the back side of the Bookmark:
At Passover we celebrate the journey from slavery to freedom, a universal message. While we rejoice over our liberation, we must also recognize those whose courage, inspiration, direction, and sacrifice helped us get here.
We particularly remember Jethro, a Midianite priest and father of Moses' wife Zipporah.

Jethro's counsel helped Moses lead our people.
His wisdom helped Moses rebuild the community.
His faith helped Moses engage the sacred and the holy.
And his love helped Moses grow and become all that he was capable of becoming.

Let's learn from Jethro, the non-Jewish father-in-law, and Moses, the greatest leader of the Jewish people, that love is more powerful than hate; that we have a responsibility to "welcome the stranger because we were once strangers in the land of Egypt"; and that the future--like the spring that we celebrate this Passover--is filled with eternal rebirth, renewal, and hope.
