Order of the Seder

Haggadah Section: Introduction

Order of the Seder - To the tune of the "Ten Duel Commandments: from HAMILTON - Words by Jake

Urchatz - wash your hands, but don’t say a blessing/ - you want to eat, but other things are more pressing, like

Karpas - dip some greens into the salt water/ an ironic juxtaposing of new life with pain and slaughter.

Yachatz - break the middle matzah straight down the middle/then you go and search for it, but only if you’re little.

Maggid - we’ll tell our freedom tale through ritual and song/a contemporary telling (we hope it’s not too long)./ We’re tasked to tell the story from a fresh perspective/ and include the gory details, don’t be too selective.

Rachtzah - we wash our hands again, then recite the blessing/ the food is coming, so you can stop your stressing.

Motzi Matzah - we bless the bread, unleavened in the haste/ of escaping bondage, please excuse the lack of taste.

Maror - slavery was bitter, don’t you forget it/ too much horseradish on your plate, you’re sure to regret it.

Korech - make a Hillel sandwich - matzah and maror/ and add some charoset to make it sweeter than before.

Shulchan Orech - the festive meal, we’re here, time to eat/ and afterwards,

Afikomen, to make our feast complete.

Birkat and Hallel - we bless the food we’ve eaten and sing songs of praise/ then pray for all people to be free in future days.

This is the order of your Passover seder/ don’t worry, we’ll come back to it later; it goes:

Urchatz,

Karpas, Yachatz,

Maggid, Rachtzah,

Motzi Matzah,

Maror, Korech,

Shulchan Orech,
