WIKIPEDIA: According to the Bible, Galilee was named by the Israelites and was the tribal region of Naphthali and Dan, at times overlapping the Tribe of Asher's land.

?וְלָמָּה, הַמְפַגְּרִים, פַּעֲמֵיכֶם כֹּה בוֹשְׁשׁוּ?הַעֶבֶד יִשְׂרָאֵל, הַאִם בְּנֵי מֵרוֹז
Why did your steps hesitate so much, you stragglers?Are Jews slaves, are they Meroz' sons?
Figure It
The plan
Was to be lifted
By balloons
And vanish
Into the atmosphere,
But the real end
Of endurance, as we know,
Is the thing
Without escape:
Shackled to the gyroscope
Or buried in the tank,
Ice-block encoffined.
The body wastes like
A hermit thronged about
On his desert pillar—
The body
Like a glamorous clock,
Like publicity,
This willful suffering, which
Encourages in the spectator
A delicate propinquity,
Learning in the nearness
Only that
To last is better than the lesson,
Not a prelude
To victory,
Not unemployment but
An agon
—time and self—still
In a small space within
A huge space.
Some would call it
'Doing being ordinary.
The thing is to
Last,
Holding the breath past collapse
Until monotony passes
Into wonder
And no one is thinking of something else.

by David Cooper
A betrothed couple were kidnapped by heathens
who married them to each other.
On their wedding night said she to him, "don't touch me:
you haven't given me a ketubah";
and from that day to the day he died he didn't.
At his funeral she told the assembled,
"mourn this man who, even more than Joseph,
controlled his desires. Joseph
never shared his bed with his temptress, but this man did;
Joseph wasn't married to her, but this man was."
Many Jews update the seder by supplementing the recitation of the biblical plagues with the mention of contemporary "plagues" such as war, hatred, and disease. The Jewish Council on Urban Affairs' Immigrant Justice Haggadah counts as plagues "the detention of immigrants, unwarranted deportations, hate crimes, the denial of drivers' licenses and other services to undocumented immigrants, hopelessness, apathy, and fear of speaking out." The Love and Justice Haggadah includes in a tongue-in-cheek list of the plagues of contemporary life--"reality TV, muzak, and SUVs." Feminist haggadot add plagues such as sexism and violence against women; environmental haggadot mention the destruction of natural resources; and haggadot focused on inter-group relations speak of the plagues of prejudice and distrust.
