When we read the shefoch chamatcha passage of the haggadah, we ask that G-d deliver wrath on the nations that have tried to destroy us. LotÌ¢âÂã¢s wife, Idit, who turned back to see the town of Sodom as it was being destroyed, witnessed the outpouring of such divine anger. In the reading below, Sandy Sasso brings Idit and her wisdom to this part of the Seder ritual. We place a container of salt next to ElijahÌ¢âÂã¢s and MiriamÌ¢âÂã¢s Cups in remembrance of Idit. As we open the door again, to invite Idit to our Seder, we lift the container of salt and say: We remember IditÌ¢âÂÛonce known only as LotÌ¢âÂã¢s wifeÌ¢âÂÛ who wept at the destruction of her enemies. This is the salt of her tears. Ì¢âÂÒOur eyes run with tears, Our pupils flow with waterÌ¢âÂå (Jeremiah (;17) We remember IditÌ¢âÂÛonce known only for her act of disobedienceÌ¢âÂÛ who turned out of compassion for life destroyed. This is the salt of her tears. Welcome, Idit, to our seder. Teach us deeds of lovingkindness. Hodu LaÌ¢âÂã¢adonay ki tov, kiÌ¢âÂã¢lÌ¢âÂã¢olam hasdo Give thanks to the Eternal who is good, whose lovingkindness endures forever. Yomar na yisrael, ki lÌ¢âÂã¢olam hasdo. Let all Israel say, G-dÌ¢âÂã¢s lovingkindness endures forever. Yomru na yirey adonay, ki lÌ¢âÂã¢olam hasdo. Let all in awe of G-d declare, G-dÌ¢âÂã¢s lovingkindness endures forever.Ì¢âÂå
