Jews all over the world
sat down for their Passover Seders Wednesday night — but it’s
safe to say none celebrated the way Atlantic Yards opponents did.
Several objectors to Bruce Ratner’s mega-development penned an anti-Ratner
parody of the Jewish Haggadah and used it at Seders this week.
In this “Very Brooklyn Haggadah,” the four questions don’t
include, “Why is this night different from all other nights?”
but, rather, “Why is it that in all other projects, buildings stand
straight, but in Frank Gehry’s designs, the buildings recline to
one side?”
There’s also a raucous, Ratner-ripping version of the classic Passover
song, “Dayeinu” — which means “enough.” (For
