Order of the Seder
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.
