Once
Reform and Liberal Jews around the world add this item to the Seder plate, representing the struggles for liberation for both women and the LGBTQ community
An Orange
Reform and liberal Jews place an orange on the Seder plate to represent the LGBTQ community. Contrary to popular belief, the orange is not there to represent Jewish women; the quote about a woman belonging on the bimah as much as an orange does on the Seder plate is an urban legend. What actually happened was that Dr Susannah Heschel found a story about a girl who asked a rabbi if there was any room for a lesbian in Judaism, and the rabbi replying that there was as much room for a lesbian in Judaism as there was for a crust of bread on the Seder plate. Heschel was inspired by this story, but could not use bread due to it being chametz, so she chose an orange instead. Her explanation: "I chose an orange because it suggests the fruitfulness for all Jews when lesbians and gay men are contributing and active members of Jewish life."
