then it would have been enough. Oh, dayenu.

Chorus

Had He given, given to us, given to us all the Torah,
then it would have been enough. Oh, dayenu.

YACHATZ: BREAK THE MIDDLE MATZAH

by Jessica

This is the bread of affliction which our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. Let all who are hungry come and eat; let all who are needy come and celebrate the Passover with us. Now we are here; next year may we be in the Land of Israel. Now we are slaves; next year may we be free.We break the matzah as we broke the chains of slavery, and as we break chains which bind us today. We will no...

Spring Cleaning

by Esther Kustanowitz

(Author's Note: This was originally published in the NY Jewish Week in April 2008.) Spring Cleaning I’ve been cleaning my apartment in increments: a shelf here, a desk drawer there, purge a file folder or four. Part of it was tax-practical, to find my 2007 receipts so I could claim deductions for my freelance lifestyle—part of it was Passover, lurking as it does beyond the hamantashen. But in plumbing the depths of cabinets and drawers, there were unexpected finds. Earrings I...

Kiddush

by Spencer Ruskin

Leader: The word seder means "order", and the Passover ritual follows a very specific order. Throughout the meal, we drink four glasses of wine — a symbol of the four promises made to Moses about the liberation of the Jewish people. In the book of Exodus it is written that God told Moses: Leader: I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. I will rid you out of their bondage. I will redeem you with a stretched...

Bareich

Traditional Barech (translation)

by Sara Smith

A Song of Ascents. When the Lord returned us from exile back to Zion, it was as though we were dreaming. We laughed in joy and sang happy songs. It was said around the world: “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord did great things for us, and we rejoiced. God, restore our captives. We shall be like streams in the Negev. Those who sow in tears shall ultimately reap in joy. Though the farmer bears the measure...

Dayenu -- For This, We are Grateful

by Phil Neuman

In the traditional Passover Seder, we thank God for the miracles God performed, and, after reciting each miracle, reply aloud "Dayenu" -- this alone would have been enough and for this we are grateful.Hunger is a slavery of our times, a bondage from which we continue to struggle. Yet, though our freedom from hunger is incomplete, we have taken great steps forward in the fight against hunger and oppression in the United States.We take time now to reflect on all those...

Maror מָרוֹר Now take a kezayit (the volume of one olive) of the maror. Dip it into the Charoset, but not so much that the bitter taste is neutralized. Recite the following blessing and then eat the maror (without reclining): בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ עַל אֲכִילַת מָרוֹר.

Lighting of the Holiday Candles

Lighting of the Holiday CandlesMay these candles, lighted on the Festival of Freedom, bring light into our hearts and minds. May they renew our courage to act for justice and freedom here and now. May they illumine the path to truth, justice and peace. And so we repeat the ancient blessing:ברוך אתה יי אלהינו מלך העולם אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו להדליק נר של יום טובBaruch atah Adonai Elohaynoo melech ha-olam, asher keedshanoo b’meetzvotav v’tzeevanoo l’hadleek ner shel (Shabbat v’shel) yom tov.Praised...

Maror

by Rachel Gallop

When I was young my father would teach me about the Torah through debates. Before Pesach, he would tell me of the special relationship between Moses and Hashem. In the days that Moses spent on Mount Sinai, Hashem took him through the seven heavens and Ganaden and Gaheniem (what people would consider heavenly gardens and the pits of hell). Moses was shown the most beautiful of things and the most evil. When Moses asked why Hashem would create such evil, he...

The Afikoman

by Kalsman Institute

Finding and Eating the Afikoman In hiding and seeking the afikoman, we reunite the two parts separated at the beginning of the seder. At this moment, we have the opportunity to discover lost parts of ourselves, to become reconciled with relatives who have become distant and to find wholeness in aspects of Judaism which may not have been part of our lives. Finding that which is hidden is a powerful message when we feel loss and lost. Within our loss, we...

Korech -- If It's All About Freedom, Why Focus On Pain And Enslavement?

by Phil Neuman

Freedom and pain are inexorably linked. Our approach to the "bitter" times is neither to deny nor to seek escape but to face up to the challenges and embrace the opportunity they offer.The key is to recognize that pain and suffering emanate from exactly the same source as joy and pleasure. The self same God that redeemed us from Egypt was the One who allowed us to be enslaved there in the first place, because, painful though it was, it was...

Karpas

by Rachel Gallop

HEBREW: THE FANTASIA OF LANGUAGE In the Hebrew language, every letter is not only a letter, but also represents a number, a word, and a concept. For example, the letter aleph, the first letter of the alphabet, has the numerical value of one. Aleph is also a word which means to champion, or to lead. The second letter of the alphabet, bet, has the numerical value of two and also means house ― bayit in Hebrew. Hebrew letters, then, are far...

The song is about being grateful to God for all of the gifts he gave the Jewish people, such as taking them out of slavery, giving them the Torah and Shabbat, and had God only given one of the gifts, it would have still been enough. This is to show much greater appreciation for all of them as a whole.DayenuIlu ho-tsi, ho-tsi-a-nu, Ho-tsi-a-nu mi-Mitz-ra-yim, Ho-tsi-a-nu mi-Mitz-ra-yim, Da-ye-nu!.. CHORUS: .. Dai, da-ye-nu, ..
