The traditional Haggadah ends with the proclamation, “Next Year in Jerusalem,” a statement that expresses hope for redemption—for the emergence of a new era of peace, justice, and harmony. Social justice seders encourage participants to recommit themselves to the pursuit of justice. Next Year in.... “Next Year In a World of Freedom” (Freedom Seder 1969) “Next Year, an End to Forced Labor in the Cocoa Fields” (Fair Trade Judaica Seder Supplement 2011) “May these glimpses of what could be strengthen our resolve to strive for what must be: Next Year In a Jerusalem Redeemed Through Justice” (Rabbis for Human Rights Haggadah Supplement 2012) “Next Year in a Land of Real Justice” (Jews United for Justice Labor Seder 2012) “Next Year, May We Celebrate Passover in a World that is More Just and Righteous!” (Jewish Council on Urban Affairs Justice and Freedom Seder 2012) “Our seder is now completed, but our work is not. This year, we celebrate Passover in a city and a world in which many are still oppressed. Next year, may we celebrate Passover in a world that is more just and righteous. This year, we dedicate ourselves to doing the work of justice.” (Jewish Youth Group Seder 2010)
