A Modern Woman's Dayenu

Haggadah Section: -- Cup #2 & Dayenu

LEADER: Maimonides urged us to care for our bodies so that we would be free to concentrate our energies on God. In the modern world, one of the greatest threats to our physical health is mental stress. This year, let us learn how to say “Enough!”  

If we agree to serve one volunteer committee, but not two or three… דַּיֵּנוּ DAYENU

If we work 45 hours in a week, but not 60… דַּיֵּנוּ DAYENU

If we serve two courses for Shabbat dinner, but not three or four… דַּיֵּנוּ DAYENU

If we buy a dessert, instead of making one from scratch… דַּיֵּנוּ DAYENU

If we wash the floor every other Friday morning, instead of every Friday morning… דַּיֵּנוּ DAYENU

If we clear away the clutter, but don’t dust the shelves… דַּיֵּנוּ DAYENU

If we buy a gift certificate, instead of spending hours searching for the perfect gift… דַּיֵּנוּ DAYENU

If we usually schlep to the less expensive supermarket, but not always… דַּיֵּנוּ DAYENU

If we take on one of the big projects coming up at work, but not all of them… דַּיֵּנוּ DAYENU

If we go to one of the events organized by our friends this week, but not all them… דַּיֵּנוּ DAYENU

If we do what we can, and then go to bed at a reasonable hour… דַּיֵּנוּ DAYENU
