HINUKH YEHUDI MISHPAHTI : HAGGADAH SHEL PESAH

2008 / 5768 / !"#$%version 5768.4 (updated 03-26-08)

The Festival of Passover (Hebrew – “Pesah” or “Pesach”) has a unique place in the Jewishhome because of the Seder, the many changes that take place and the special atmosphere in thehome during the Passover week. This Passover home atmosphere is something created by thefamily. One makes "Pesach" at home by the enthusiastic, cheerful observance of the traditionalrules and regulations especially pertaining to foods, unique family and ethnic food customs, theirpreparation and serving.

How can you maximize meeting the unique needs and interests of your Seder:

This Haggadah printed on separate pages, for those who have not purchased Davka 6Platinum in which this Haggadah was composed. Simply download one copy, print itand then edit what you wish to include or exclude for your Seder. Then, print thenumber of copies to bind into separate Haggadot.

If you do own Davka 6 Platinum, download the appropriate selection of the entiretraditional Haggada, and after editing, reduce the “white space” and any need forseparate pages for each section - if you wish.

3. This Haggadah version is intended for those who want a more complete traditional Sederwith minor “editing” of inclusions and exclusions. This edition does NOT include the SederSong Book updates, which are available separately on the same website.

If you want a “Brief” or “Novice” Haggadah, you will find them listed in this same website.Download a copy and print as many copies as you need. The “Novice” or “Brief” version whichare considerably abbreviated are based upon “The Family Participation Haggadah: ADIFFERENT NIGHT” by Noam Zion and David Dishon, with their permission. We follow their“Bare Bones Seder” and suggest that items 1-17 occur before the meal; and all in all, you shouldhave a one hour Seder plus the meal. Zion and Dishon have written and published amagnificent Family Haggadah and also have written a Leader’s Guide that is alsoenthusiastically commended to you.

YOU are encouraged to use this Haggadah in a way that makes sense for you, your familyand guests. For myself, I prefer to use a 3-ring notebook to “bind” the pages, or at least to bind rmy Leader’s Guide. It encourages me to edit, to add and subtract every year what does or doesnot make for a meaningful Seder experience.

1.

2.



While “Seder” means “the Order of the rituals,” it does not mean to create an “either / or”choice. Better to do it your way than not at all. If Hebrew, even in transliteration, is beyondyou - use the English. If you need to abbreviate a section because of the age of the children, dowhat must be done. If some of the older children are learning Hebrew, encourage them toprepare - but without pressure - to lead a section with which they will feel comfortable.

We want you to have a fulfilling Seder experience - that will insure that you return to it SecondNight and Next Year and for years to come, for you, your family and your friends. Next year orin a couple of years you may want to venture into a more complicated, longer and engagingSeder - and God willing - we will have a copy for you free on this same web-site.

In order to encourage you to create new traditions and customs in your Seder, “white space” hasbeen left throughout these pages to provide for your own individual instructions, interpretations,additions or creations. You may wish to print your Haggadah on both sides of each page. Isuggest when you do so, leave at least one copy for the leader with a “facing page” in athree-ring notebook on which to paste, write, etc. notes and suggestions as you prepare for theSeder. Alternatively, you can print on only one side, leaving blank “facing pages” for childrenand others to illustrate with original art work, collages, notes from school, alternative subjectsfor discussion, etc.

In addition to participating in communal Passover projects of tzedakah and caring, to attendingsynagogue services with your family, potential precious family holiday activities empower youto create and offer your family a beautiful and meaningful Passover heritage. The treasures ofchildhood memories are immeasurably enriched by the indelible impressions left on the youngthrough sharing in Passover preparations, the Seder meal and the holiday services.

The following pages have been collected, edited, written and re-written numerous times, andthey have been shared in congregational bulletins, faxes and now over the Internet. Whereverpossible I have tried to give proper attribution. I hope that as we learn who has written which ofthese pieces we can give credit properly in the years to come.

This Haggadah is a work still in progress. There are a number of revisions and additions this yearthat I have not indicated differently because it would have been a “messy” text. I would hopethat if you would like to make a contribution of materials - readings, new rituals, songs, etc. -that can be used, I would be grateful to incorporate it into this supplement and of course give youcredit. Please note that spellings and transliteration will vary and indeed some readings willcertainly provoke discussion, both agreement and disagreement which is the intention of thePassover Seder.

Many thanks to colleagues, and friends over the years. Especially, I want to thank ReuvenLerner-Friedman and Jonathan Magen for their computer know-how and helpfulness in bringingall of these materials to you..

Note: I call this “FREEWARE.” Feel “free” to copy, share, or in any other fashion allow othersto use this resource in any non-commercial - no quantity limit. Last year there were tens of



thousands of hits at our website early on, and that is the only goal of “Jewish FreeWare: todistribute a useful free product for non-commercial use.

Above all: This edition would not have been possible without the permission of Davka softwareand the use of Davkawriter 6. Platinum and their Davka Haggadah, Siddurim and TaNaKHsoftware. This year’s editions of the Haggadot are using the newly develop Davka transliterationof the Haggadah and we thank them for this privilege. We thank the Rosenbaum family and theDavka Software Company and our long personal association with them.

I have been editing, collecting and writing materials for the Haggadot, the Passover SederGuide, Seder Supplementary Readings and Seder Songs in various formats - ditto,mimeograph, xerox, and now the Internet - for our family and our congregations as a labor oflove since 1970. I hope that sharing it more recently through the Internet and my website that allof it or parts of it will be helpful to you and your family as well as friends for a sweeter and moremeaningful Seder and Pesach Festival. With best wishes from our home to yours for a “zissenPesach”

PREPARING FOR PASSOVER1. You will find information at my website www.jewishfreeware.org and many other

websites. Check for the “How’s and Why’s of Passover Preparation and Symbols,” “PassoverGuide Preparation,” and “Seder Supplement” (always being upgraded) for convenient andhelpful downloads.

Speak with your Rabbi and rely upon the publication of guidelines from yourcongregation or denomination regarding preparation - perhaps on-line. There are a variety ofphone and email services on which you can rely at this time of year for information and you areencouraged to do so. The preparation for Passover ought to be part of the joy, the simcha shelmitzvah that you impart to all your family, especially your children.

2. I personally advise in my materials a traditional approach of removing all hametz offood, drink and ingredients from your habitation possession. Not only do we set these materialsaside in sealed containers and cabinets, but we also “sell” all our hametz, generally relyingupon the Rabbi of our synagogue in order that we don’t possess it in any way possible.

3. Traditionally, on the morning of the 14th of Nisan, there is a special service for theFirst-Born concluded with a study session known as a Siyyum to obviate the need to fast.Obviously, not only are boys and girls welcomed with their parents, but younger children shouldbe invited to attend to become familiar with the service and to prepare them for when they willattend the Service of the First-Born with their own children. Your Rabbi and tradition willdetermine if the Siyyum fast only applies to the first-born male or the first-born female as welland for younger children.



SEARCH FOR HAMETZ !"#$%&'()* +,-.&'[Before Sunday evening, 13 Nisan, each family - adults and children of all ages - searches for allhametz. Use a feather to sweep up the hametz into a paper bag and search by light of a candle orflashlight. Put out a known number of pieces of bread, each on a napkin, one piece in everyroom. WHEN Passover begins Saturday night, the search is moved to Thursday night and thehametz is destroyed Friday morning; the Sabbath meals are prepared kosher for Passover; theFast for the First-Born is held on Thursday morning. ]

Mnemonic: KADDESH-URHATZ -&!(% -07 &8 "9()[ A mnemonic is a memory aid; it provides for remembering complicated liturgical structureswhen books were not easily available. Most Haggadot had fifteen words printed at the beginningof the Seder service that rhyme in the Hebrew and outline the Seder sequence. According totradition, our mnemonic is credited to Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaki, RaSH”I, a 12 century Frenchcommentator.

This mneumoniahas various melodies and you can chant in once - or more times - dependingupon those who are present and have favorite melodies from Religious or Day School and frommemories of Sedarim past. ]

!(% -07-II. URHATZ / Wash

[ We wash in preparation for eating the vegetable (Karpas). Since the need for such washingwas questioned after the Rabbinic period and washing before eating vegetables fell ultimatelyinto disuse except for the Seder, no blessing is required. For some Seder celebrations, only theLeader has his/her hands washed - without a blessing, and in other customs we go around toeach of the participants, pouring water over the hands from a pitcher into a bowl.

This is a wonderful opportunity for some of the children to take the bowl around with towels towash the hands of the leader or all of the participants. In our home we purchased an antiquebowl and a modern cup that. In time together they will both become family heirlooms and bothwill be antiques in time – and memory. BDL ]



III. KARPAS / Karpas - :(; -0(6[ Any vegetable that is not bitter may be eaten. Some traditional authorities insist upon parsleyas the most authentic, but other vegetables used are celery, parsley, onion and potato as theyalso are the “fruit of the earth” and also remind us of the Spring season’s greens.

For those who are looking for a more substantive Karpas, consider the following: This year wewill be using blanched asparagus, displayed tips outward in a circle, with a mayonnaise dip inthe middle. Not only is asparagus a green vegetable, this dish is taken from a recent publication,“In Memory’s Kitchen: A Legacy From the Women of Terezin.” In this fashion we combine boththe memory of the oppressed of Egypt and the oppressed of the Holocaust. In the past, we havealso used artichokes for which there are many kosher for Passover recipes, if only blanched inwater with lemons and then served with a dip.

Dipped in salt water for purification and/or seasoning these vegetables remind us of the babyboys cast in the Nile and the tears shed by the slaves. The blessing said is the usual benedictionof thanks before eating any vegetable. ]

IV. YAHATZ / Divide - !(%(*[ Divide the middle Matzah into two parts, and there is no berakhah. Take the larger part, wrapit in napkin and save it for the conclusion of the meal as the Afikoman. Try - but don't try toohard -to keep it from being stolen by the children because it must be available for the end of themeal. For the sake of the children – and “a night of watching” – use a special Afikoman cover toidentify it throughout the Seder and meal.

The top matzah and a middle smaller portion is to be used later for the “motzee-matzah”blessing recited for bread, and the bottom matzah is for “Korech,” the Hillel sandwich.

The Afikoman traditionally was placed or concealed under a pillow near the master of the house(or the one leading the Seder). Another suggestion for its being wrapped separately and removedfrom the table is to prevent against the possibility of eating the piece designated Afikoman beforethe proper time.

Another current practice in many homes is for the master of the house to rise from the table atsome point during the course of the meal and hide the Afikoman somewhere in the home, andthat when it is needed, the children are sent to “find” it, the successful one being rewarded witha prize or “redemption-gift.” Whether the master of the house hides the Afikoman or conceals itnear him against theft, the additional purpose is clear today: to keep the attention of children inthe Seder as long as possible, especially during late hours when normally they would have beenasleep.

One of the first references to stealing the matzah comes from the Mishneh Torah of Maimonides,who states: “One should make some change in procedure on this night of the 15th of Nisan inorder that his sons should notice it and ask ‘How is this night different….’ In what way might theprocedure be changed? By distributing parched grain or nuts to the children, by having the tableremoved before the meal would normally begin, by each trying to snatch away the other’sunleavened bread, and so on.”

The best rewards are not money – contrary to many Sedarim. It may be easier to give childrenmoney, as is often done. However, it is definitely preferable that you spend some time and effortplanning the gifts that will bind the children to their Seder and Passover memories. Considergifts that they will use for future generations at the Seder service: (1) books – especiallyHaggadot that they can pass on to their children in time; (2) their own special Seder silver cupthat can be inscribed with their Hebrew name or initials; (3) a piece of Jewish software for theircomputer; (4) or Seder toys that they can save for their children and grandchildren. Creativityand the age and interests of the child are the cornerstones for an appropriate reward. ]

Emphasizing the Symbols of Passover.[ Some lift up the plate as if it were going to be removed from the table to keep the attention ofthe children and then point out the symbols of affliction. Some will uncover the matzot duringthe recitation of the story of the Exodus. Others hold the matzot over the heads of the Sederparticipants, just as the Angel of Death passed over the homes of the Israelites on the night ofthe 10th plague. ]

3. Mah Nishtanah - 2$1(>-8+1&2(#

“Four Questions.”[ The Childrens’ Role on the Night of Passover Children are assigned a special place of loveand honor on Passover eve and that includes asking the “Four Questions.” The youngest childin the participants who is able to recite the Four Questions does so, in order that we might fulfillthe Biblical injunction to tell our children about the flight from slavery to freedom redeemed bythe hand of God; and, should the child not ask, we are told to give him the questions to ask, inorder that we might tell him the answers.

The normal pattern of eating and sitting at the table was changed in order to promptquestions from the children, encouraging them to note the difference between the normal and thePassover evening patterns. Such distinctions are noted in the various texts of the FourQuestions. When a difference was historically no longer relevant, it was abandoned (e.g. theroasted flesh) and when other practices came into existence, they were added to the Sederliturgy reclining which was a post-Talmudic custom].

The Wicked One asks: "What does this ritual mean to you?"

(Exodus 13:8) "For me" and not for him -- for had hebeen in Egypt, he would not have been freed.

One might think that the Haggadah should be recited on the first day of the monthof Nisan, but the Torah says: "You shall tell your son on that day" [the first day ofPassover]. One might think that the phrase on that day means that the story of theExodus should be recited in the daytime; therefore, the Torah says: "This is onaccount of what the Lord did for me." The word this refers to the time when thismatzo and this marror are placed before you - on Passover night when you areobliged to eat them

These are the Plagues that the holy one, blessed be he, brought upon Egypt.

A. Should We Rejoice For The Plagues?

[ There is a custom of removing 16 drops one’s cup of wine, They are (1) the three plaguesstated by the prophet Joel that follow now: “blood, fire and smoke,” - “:oWr zFx §ni ¦z §e .W ¥ e .mC;"(2) next, the more familiar Ten Plagues” and (3) then the three terms which comprise theRabbinic acronymn for the Ten Plagues. This is the first occasion. ]

“Blood, and fire and pillars of smoke. . . .”

“Before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes, I will set wonders in the skyand on the earth. . . blood, fire and pillars of smoke: The sun shall turn to darknessand the moon into blood.” Joel 3:3

Another interpretation of Deuteronomy 26:8 is: “strong hand” indicates two plagues;“out-stretched arm” indicates two more plagues; “great awe” indicates two plagues;“signs” indicates two more plagues because it is plural; and “wonders” two moreplagues because it is in the plural. This then is a total of Ten Plagues.

D. A Final Way To Count and Recall The Ten Plagues.][ Since ancient versions varied as to the nature and number of the plagues, it is believed thatRabbi Jehudah instituted these three phrases or acronyms to confirm the version in Exodus.Accordingly we now remove another three drops of wine from our cup of joy. ]

[ Moses Isserles teaches that because we are speaking of the “finger of God” one should useone’s forefinger to spill out the wine from your cup, and not the little finger that some suggest.Isaac Luria recommends that we should not use any finger at all but spill out wine from the cuponto the saucer. All agree that we should not lick our fingers when we have completed theritual. ]



Our Sages Elaborate on the Miracle of the Exodus:[ Our Sages in the second century proposed three number “mathematical puzzles” to each otherto multiply the miracle of the plagues and the Exodus, expanding the discussion at the Seder. ]

Rabbi Yose the Galilean says: How does one derive that, after the ten plagues inEgypt, the Egyptians suffered fifty plagues at the Sea? Concerning the plagues inEgypt the Torah states that "the magicians said to Pharaoh, it is the finger of God."However, at the Sea, the Torah relates that "Israel saw the great hand which theLord laid upon the Egyptians, and the people revered the Lord and they believed inthe Lord and in His servant Moses." It reasons that if they suffered ten plagues inEgypt, they must have been made to suffer fifty plagues at the Sea.

9. DAYENU - X75"G (9“It Would Have Been Sufficient”

[ According to the Vilna Gaon, just as there are 15 verses to Dayenu there are 15 benefits ofGod’s deliverance with a number of meanings attached to “15”: (1) the 15 Psalms known asShir HaMa’a lot; (2) the 15 generations from Abraham to Solomon; (3) the 15 praises in EmetV’yatziv following the Shema; (4) the 15 blessings in the Birkot Hashahar. Why is there such aconcern with the number “15”? ]

The Pesah which our ancestors ate when the Second Temple stood: what is thereason for it? They ate the Pesah because the holy one, Blessed be He “passedover” the houses of our ancestors in Egypt, as it is written in the Torah: “And Youshall say, ‘It is the Passover offering for Adonai, who passed over the houses of theIsraelites saving us in Mitzrayim but struck the houses of the Egyptians. . . .’”

Why do we eat Maror? For the reason that the Egyptians embitter the lives of ourancestors in Mitzrayim, as the Torah states: “And they embittered their lives withservitude, with mortar and bricks without straw, with every form of slavery in thefield and with great torment.”

11. B’KHOL DOR VADOR - 0/,$B&0/9J3$K-.“In Every Generation”

[ Can we ever really identify and empathize with a generation of our ancestors who lived over3000 years ago? Rabbi Jeffrey Cohen brings an illustration: “Shortly after the discover inCornwall, England, in 1994, the body of a man preserved in ice for over 5000 years. A DNAsearch revealed that a young Cornish lady shared a direct genetic relationship. In an interviewshe stated: “One normally thinks only of one’s parents and grandparents as members of one’sfamily. I now feel that sense of identity with someone two hundred generations back!”

Note that while she identified through DNA, the Jewish People have identified with theirhistorical ancestors in a constant literary tradition of names, activities, Talmud and codes, andthe rich spiritual heritage of laws, customs, ceremonies and symbols that is constantly evolvingand growing in meaning and depth. ]

[ The hands are ritually washed before the meal, as is required at any meal; it is performedsimilar to the previous hand-washing. Now, though, all wash with the usual benediction as thehands are dried. We wash because (1) we are a “kingdom of priests” and whenever we washbefore eating, we are reminded of that special role, and (2) the ritual washing recalls the priestlyeating of their tithes in purity. It is customary not to speak - but you can hum quietly - until allare ready to recite MOTZEE-MATZAH. ]

The usual beracha - the motzee - is recited. However, before eating thematzah, a second beracha, thanking God for the requirement to eat matzah, is recited.

Since there is a debate whether one and a half matzot fulfill the custom of “lehem mishnah,” thetwo loaves reminiscent of the double portion of manna in the desert for Shabbat and Festivals,we raise all three pieces to recite Ha-Motzee. ]

X. KOREKH / Hillel Sandwich - Q "0/6[ In ancient times, Hillel ate the three symbolic foods (lamb, matzah and bitter herbs) foldedtogether so that each mouthful contained all three. Thus the symbols of slavery and of liberationwere intermingled. Now that we do not have the Paschal lamb, we eat just the matzah andhorse-radish in a "Hillel sandwich". No special berakha is said, but we do read the followingwords recalling Hillel's practice. ]

This way of eating matzah, maror and haroset reminds us of how Hillel would doso when the Second Temple still existed, making a sandwich of the Pashal lamb,matzah and maror, fulfilling the Torah injunction: “with matzot and maror theyshall eat the Pashal lamb.”



XI. SHULHAN OREKH / Meal - Q "0/=&I$%-3R8[ The joyous feasting gives us the feeling of human fellowship in harmony with God. The mealtraditionally begins with a hard-boiled egg, dipped or covered with some of the salt water.Thereafter, it is a traditional festive meal.

I had learned long ago in a Seminary class that a Roman banquet, described in the Latin phrase,was “from an egg to an apple.” To me it always suggested the tradition of the hard-boiled eggand the apple as the primary ingredient of the Seder haroset. But that’s just a thought. BDL ]



XII. TZAFUN /AFIKOMAN / Dessert - I7S$N[ If someone of the children has “stolen” it, or if the adults have hidden the Afikoman when it isfirst put aside (IV) and let the children look for it during the meal to win a prize, it is now time toredeem the Afikoman. Then, each person eats a portion of the Afikoman.

After one eats the Afikoman, it is forbidden to eat anything further or to drink anything but forthe two remaining mandatory ritual cups of wine, one for the Grace after meals and one forHallel.

One accepted theory is that Afikoman is a Greek word connoting the dessert – dates, parchedcorn, nuts, sweet fruits, etc. The Seder meal in the time of the Temple was concluded with a tasteof the Paschal lamb that had been offered in the Temple, after which nothing further was eaten.

More recently, the suggestion has been made that the word is akin to a Greek word meaning“entertainment” which concluded the Greco-Roman festive meal. Whether “dinner music,”“dessert,” or “the practice of going from house to house after dinner,” the Sages of the Talmudprohibited any practices which might detract from the attention that must be paid to the symbolof Passover, the Paschal sacrifice.

It is the custom in some countries to save a piece of the Afikoman from the Second Seder untilthe burning of the Hametz the following year, when both are burned together. ]



XIII. BAREKH / Birkat HaMazone - Q "0$.[ Fill the cup before the Birkat HaMazone / grace.

A Song of Ascents. When the Lord brought the exiles back to Zion, we were like those whodream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with glad song. Then it was saidamong the nations: "The Lord has done great things for them." The Lord had done great thingsfor us, and we rejoiced. Restore our captives, O Lord, like streams in the Negev. Those who sowin tears shall reap in joy. Though the farmer bears the measure of seed to the field in sadness, heshall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.

Then it was saidamong the nations: "The Lord has done great things for them." The Lord had done great thingsfor us, and we rejoiced. Restore our captives, O Lord, like streams in the Negev.

God has taught all men to love their neighbors as themselves. Yet, in almost everyage, some have not obeyed His command. Our people have suffered frequently atthe hands of such men. In God’s own way and in His own time, the wicked pay theprice of their wickedness. For God is a God of justice.

Y-'$#@%&Q"S-8 -Pour Out Your Wrath[A late addition to the Haggadah, after the period of the Crusades and the pogroms of theRhineland. The Crusades were a series of military conflicts of a religious character waged byChristians from 1096-1291, usually sanctioned by the Pope. The First Crusade was launched in1095 by Pope Urban II with the dual goals of liberating the sacred city of Jerusalem and the HolyLand from Muslims, and freeing the Eastern Christians from Muslim rule. Inevitably theCrusades also involved destruction and oppression of Jewish communities in Europe and theHoly Land. The harshness of this section often causes it to be excluded or skipped in many amodern Seder.]

“Pour out your fury on the nations that do not know you, upon the kingdoms thatdo not invoke your name, they have devoured Jacob and desolated his home.” (Ps.79:6,7) “Pour out your wrath on them; may your blazing anger overtake them.”(Ps. 69.25) “Pursue them in wrath and destroy them from under the heavens of theLord!” (Lam. 3:66)

[Noam Zion and David Dishon, “A Different Night, ” bring a medieval Haggadah text, “YourLove,” from a Worms, 1521, manuscript, attributed to the grandchildren of Rashi. While itsauthenticity is debated, its sentiment is genuine. Let us not forget the actions of those like theDanish King Christian X in 1933 to save all of the 8000 Danish Jews. Let us not forget theAvenue of the Righteous Gentiles and the efforts of the Jewish People to remember that there aregood as well as evil in humanity. Let us try to emphasize the good.]

Pour Out Your Love On The Righteous Gentiles

Pour out your love on the nations who have known you and on the kingdoms whocall upon your name. For they show loving-kindness to the seed of Jacob and theydefend your people Israel from those who would devour them alive. May they liveto see the sukkah of peace spread over your chosen ones and to participate in thejoy of your nations.

Nor for our sake, O Lord, not for our sake, but for your name's sake give glory,because of your kindness and your truth.Why should the nations say: "Where is their God?" Our God is in the heavens; Hedoes whatever He pleases!Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see;they haveears, but they cannot hear; they have a nose, but they cannot smell; they havehands, but they cannot feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they uttera sound with their throat. Those who make them shall become like them, whoevertrusts in them.O Israel, trust in the Lord! He is their help and shield.You who revere the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is their help and shield.

The Lord who has remembered us will bless;He will bless the house of Israel;He will bless the house of Aaron;He will bless those who revere the Lord, the small with the great.May the Lord increase you, you and your children.You are blessed by the Lord, who made the heaven and earth.The heaven is the Lord's heaven, but he has given the earth to mankind.The dead cannot praise the Lord, nor can any who go down into silence.We will bless the Lord from this time forth and forever.

I love that the Lord hears my supplications.Because he has inclined his ear to me, I will call upon him as long as I live.The cords of death encircled me; the pains of the grave have overtaken me;I found trouble and sorrow.Then I called upon the name of the Lord: "O Lord, save my life!"Gracious is the Lord, and righteous and our God is merciful.The Lord protects the simple;I was brought low and he saved me.Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has been kind to you.You delivered me from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from stumbling.I shall walk before the Lord in the lands of the living.I kept faith even when I cry out: "I am greatly afflicted.'I kept faith even when I said in haste: "All men are deceitful."

From the straits I called upon the Lord; the Lord answered me by placing me in agreat expanse. The Lord is with me; I have no fear of what man can do to me.The Lord is with me among my helpers; I shall see the defeat of my foes.It is better to seek refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.It is better to seek refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.All nations have encompassed me; but in the name of the Lord, I routed them.They swarmed around me; but in the name of the Lord, I cut them down.They swarmed like bees about me, but they were extinguished like a fire of thorns;but in the name of the Lord, I cut them down.You pushed me that I might fall, but the Lord helped me.The Lord is my strength and song; He has become my salvation.The voice of rejoicing and salvation is heard in the tents of the righteous:"The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.The Lord's right hand is raised in triumph;the Lord's right hand does valiantly!"I shall not die, but live to relate the deeds of the Lord.The Lord has surely punished me, but he has not left me to die.Open for me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter and praise the Lord.This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous may enter through it.

BesidesThee we have no king who redeems and saves, ransoms and rescues, sustains and shows mercyin all times of trouble and distress. We have no King but Thee-God of the first and of the last,God of all creatues, Master of all generations, One acclaimed with a multitude of praises, Hewho guides His world with kindness and His creatures with mercy. The Lord neither slumbersnor sleeps; He rouses those who sleep and wakens those who slumber; He enables the speechlessto speak and loosens the bonds of the captives; He supports those who are fallen and raises thosewho are bowed down. To Thee alone we give thanks.

Were our mouth filled with song as the ocean, and our tongue with joy as the endless waves;were our lips full of praise as the wide heavens, and our eyes shining like the sun or the moon;were our hands spread out in prayer as the eagles of the sky and our feet running as swiftly as thedeer--we should still be unable to thank Thee and bless your name, Lord our God and God of ourfathers, for one of the thousands and even myriads of favors which Thou hast bestowed on our



fathers and on us. Thou hast liberated us from Egypt, Lord our God, and redeemed us from thehouse of slavery. Thou has fed us in famine and sustained us with plenty. Thou hast saved usfrom the sword, helped us to escape the plague, and spared us from severe and enduring diseases.Until now your mercy has helped us, and your kindness has not forsaken us; mayest Thou, Lordour God, never abandon us.

Therefore, the limbs which Thou has given us, the spirit and soul which Thou has breathed intoour nostrils, and the tongue which Thou hast placed in our mouth, shall all thank and bless,praise and glorify, exalt and revere, sanctify and acclaim your name, our King. To Thee, everymouth shall offer thanks; every tongue shall vow allegiance; every knee shall bend, and all whostand erect shall bow. All hearts shall revere Thee, and men's inner beings shall sing to yourname, as it is written: "all my bones shall say: O Lord, who is like Thee? Thou savest the poorman from one that is stronger, the poor and needy from one who would rob him." Who may belikened to Thee? Who is equal to Thee? Who can be compared to Thee? O Great, mighty andrevered God, supreme God is the Master of heaven and earth. Let us praise, acclaim and glorifyThee and bless your holy name, as it is said: "A Psalm of David: Bless the Lord, O my soul, andlet my whole inner being bless His holy name."

PASSOVER SONGS, OLD AND NEW[ Many songs - both traditional and “fun” or parody songs - have been gathered from far andnear over many years. Feel free to insert them within the Seder wherever you and your Sederparticipants will enjoy and find them meaningful.

The remainder of the Seder with songs can become a “fun conclusion” before you recite theNirtzah. Others prefer to sing some of the traditional and “fun” songs before Nirtzah, concludethe Seder, and then add more singing depending upon the time and circumstances.

This particular edition of the 5768 Passover Haggadah is a complete Traditional Haggadah. Inaddition, it includes the English “fun” songs and Hebrew songs in a “paginated” format suchthat you can either print out the entire text and edit by physically adding or removing any textyou wish, OR if you download it into Davka 6 Platinum you can edit it in your computer beforemaking a final copy. There is also a complete Traditional Haggadah without the English songs.

NOTE: There will generally be at www.jewishfreeware.org different “editions” of eachPassover collection which involve Hebrew: (1) a “PDF” which cannot be edited although onceprinted, you can insert each page where you want it ; or (2) a “Davka 6 Platinum” edition whichif you open in your Davka 6 can then be edited in the computer before printing. I will be addingthis year some “Davka” editions of an earlier vintage, which may or may not work as well interms of sustaining Hebrew and English formatting. My own recommendation is that youpurchase Davka 6 or upgrade an earlier version to Davka 6.

At the website there are THREE 5768 / 2008 Passover Song Book pagination versions: (1) 5768PASSOVER SONG BOOK “P”, each song is printed on its own Paginated page in order foryou to download and print the songs, and then select which songs you wish to us and place themwhere you want them within the Seder; (2) 5768 PASSOVER SONG BOOK “S”, in which allsongs are sequenced continuously; (3) 5768 PASSOVER SONG BOOK “E”, a version of thesong book using only secular familiar melodies. In all versions the pages are numbered.

IMPORTANT: For some families you may wish to use only song parodies which are based onpopular melodies and which do not reflect any other religious celebration. While evensynagogue music borrowed melodies from their neighbors, I wanted to be sensitive to thefeelings of Seder celebration participants, family and their guests. Therefore when down-loadingthe 5768 PASSOVER SONG BOOK, in either “Paginated” version or “Sequential,” check to seewhich you prefer - either the 5768 Complete or only Secular parodies.

The spelling of each song is as I received it. I have made every attempt every year to give creditto authors and to all sources. I especially want to thank “Uncle Boo Boo”, Mark Kreditor andMark Berch for their correspondence and contributions. If an error has occurred of omission orcommission please bring it to my attention – [email protected] in time for the next version.Already there are corrections noted for this year for which I am grateful. ]

RABBI BARRY DOV LERNER



1. There's No Seder Like our Seder(By Rabbi Dan Liben, "There's no Business like Show business")

There's no Seder like our Seder,There's no Seder I know.Everything about it is halachicNothing that the Torah won't allow.Listen how we read the whole HaggadahIt's all in Hebrew'Cause we know how.

There's no Seder like our Seder,We tell a tale that is swell:Moses took the people out into the heatThey baked the matzahWhile on their feetNow isn't that a storyThat just can't be beat?Let's go on with the show!



2. Take Us Out of Egypt(By Ron Wolfson, “Take me out to the ball game")

Take us out of EgyptFree us from slaveryBake us some matzah in a hasteDon't worry 'bout flavor--Give no thought to taste.Oh it's rush, rush, rush, to the Red SeaIf we don't cross it's a shameFor it's ten plagues,Down and you're outAt the Pesach history game.



3. Les Miselijah(By Stuart Malina, "Do you hear the people Sing" from “Les Miserables”)

Do you hear the doorbell ring,And it's a little after ten?It can only be ElijahCome to take a sip again.He is feeling pretty fineWe don’t want him to feel loose.So perhaps instead of wineWe should only give him juice.



4. Elijah(By Rabbi Dan Liben, "Maria")

Elijah!I just saw the prophet Elijah.And suddenly that nameWill never sound the same to me.Elijah!He came to our SederElijah!He had his cup of wine,But could not stay to dineThis year--Elijah!For your message all Jews are waiting:That the time's come for peaceand not hating--Elijah--Next year we'll be waiting.Elijah!



5. Just a Tad of haroset(By Debbie and Sharon Bohnen, "Just a spoon full of sugar")

Chorus:Just a tad of haroset helps the bitter herbs go down,The bitter herbs go down, the bitter herbs go down.

Just a tad of haroset helps the bitter herbs go down,In the most disguising way.

Oh, back in Egypt long ago,The Jews were slaves under Pharaoh.They sweat and toiled and laboredthrough the day.So when we gather Pesach night,We do what we think right.Maror, we chew,To feel what they went through.

Chorus

So after years of slaveryThey saw no chance of being free.Their suffering was the only life they knew.But baby Moses grew up tall,And said he'd save them all.He did, and yet,We swear we won't forget.That......

Chorus cont….

While the maror is being passed,We each refill our water glass,Preparing for the taste that turns us red.Although maror seems full of minuses,It sure does clear our sinuses.But what's to do?It's hard to be a Jew!!!

Chorus



6. Same Time Next Year(By Anita Malina, "Makin' Whoopee")

Another Pesach, another year,The family Seder with near and dear...Our faces shining,All thoughts of diningAre put on hold now.

We hear four questions,The answer givenRecalls the Jews from Egypt driven.The ch'rain is bitter, (haroset better!)Please pass the matzah.

Why is this evening differentFrom all the other nights?This year the Jews all overAre free to perform the rites.A gorgeous dinner--who can deny it--

Won't make us thinner, to hell with diet!It's such great cooking...and no one's looking,So just enjoy it.Moving along at steady clip

Elijah enters, and takes a sip;And then the singing with voices ringingOur laughter mingling.When singing about Chad GadYa.Watch close or your place you'll lose,

For Echad Mi Yodea:Which tune shall we use?We pray next PesachWe'll all be here.It's a tradition...Same time next year...

So fill it up now, the final cup now,Next year at _________________.



7. The Ballad of the Four Sons(By Ben Aronin "Clementine")

Said the father to his children,"At the Seder you will dine,You will eat your fill of matzoh,You will drink four cups of wine."

Now this father had no daughters,But his sons they numbered four.One was wise and one was wicked,One was simple and a bore.

And the fourth was sweet and winsome,he was young and he was small.While his brothers asked the questionshe could scarcely speak at all.

Said the wise one to his father"Would you please explain the laws?Of the customs of the SederWill you please explain the cause?"

And the father proudly answered,"As our fathers ate in speed,Ate the paschal lamb 'ere midnightAnd from slavery were freed."

So we follow their exampleAnd 'ere midnight must completeAll the Seder and we should notAfter 12 remain to eat.

Then did sneer the son so wicked"What does all this mean to you?"And the father's voice was bitterAs his grief and anger grew.

"If you yourself don't considerAs son of Israel,Then for you this has no meaningYou could be a slave as well."



Then the simple son said simply"What is this," and quietlyThe good father told his offspring"We were freed from slavery."

But the youngest son was silentFor he could not ask at all.His bright eyes were bright with wonderAs his father told him all.

My dear children, heed the lessonand remember evermoreWhat the father told his childrenTold his sons that numbered four.

(The original "Ballad of the Four Sons" Clementine was written by Ben Aronin in 1948. Thegender-neutral adaptation to Four Children was done by William Sharlin, Sandy Bogin, Carol Levy,Elizabeth Levy, and Lisa Rauchwerger.This version thanks to Mark Frydenberg) [I consider “and a bore”a bit harsh, so at the Berch seder, we use “ and only four” --- Mark Berch



8. Pharaoh Doesn’t Pay(By Mary Ann Barrows Wark, “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad”)

I’ve been working on these buildings;Pharaoh doesn’t pay.I’ve been doing what he tells meLike making bricks from clay.Can’t you hear the master calling,“Hurry up, make a brick!”Can’t you feel the master hurt meUntil I’m feeling sick.Oh is this a mess,Oh is this a mess,Oh is this a mess, for Jews, for Jews.Oh is this a mess,Oh is this a mess,Oh is this a mess for Jews.

Someone’s in the palace with Pharaoh –Someone’s in the palace we know, ow, ow, ow,Someone’s in the palace with Pharaoh –Does he know they treat us so?Keep singing work, work, work all day,Work all day and then some mo –ore,Work, work, work all day –Does he know they treat us so?



9. Pharaoh’s Lament(“The Itsy-Bitsy Spider”)

My river and my sun gods have always helped me rule.Down came the plaguesAnd folks think I’m a fool.Up come the slaves’ GodAnd tells me what to do.I’m a roughy-toughy Pharaoh.Why won’t my gods come through?



10. Plagues(By Mary Ann Barrows Wark, “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain”)

Bad things will come to Egypt, don’t you know?Bad things will come to Egypt, don’t you know?Bad things will come to Egypt,Bad things will come to Egypt,Bad things will come to Egypt, till we go

God will give you this last chance to let us go;God will give you this last chance to let us go;As midnight passes by –yAll your firstborn sons will die –ie;And your people will cry out if we can’t go.



11. Our Passover Things(By "My Favorite Things" from the "Sound of Music" )

Cleaning and cooking and so many dishesOut with the chametz, no pasta, no knishesFish that's gefilted, horseradish that stingsThese are a few of our Passover things.

Matzah and karpas and chopped up harosetShankbones and kiddish and yiddish neurosesTante who kvetches and uncle who singsThese are a few of our Passover things.

Motzi and moror and trouble with PharaohsFamines and locusts and slaves with wheelbarrowsMatzah balls floating and eggshell that clingsThese are a few of our Passover things.

When the plagues strikeWhen the lice biteWhen we're feeling sadWe simply remember our Passover thingsAnd then we don't feel so bad.



Our Passover Things #2

( "My Favorite Things" from “The Sound of Music” )

Dry angel cakes that taste nearly, not *quite* right

Canned macaroons looking good in the *right* light

Breads which don't rise and about which we sing

These are a few of our unleavened things.

Moon-shaped and jellied, those candies turn real hard

The taste of the cereal, like the box we would discard

Matzah Ball soup, to our stomach it clings

These are a few of our unleavened things.

When the night comes, and I eat tons, and I'm feeling fat,

I simply remember they're Pesachdik things

and my tummy feels more flat.



12. Let My People Go(Traditional spiritual)

When Israel was in Egypt landLet My People goOppressed so hard they could not standLet My People go.Go down, MosesWay down in Egypt landTell old PharaohTo Let My People go.



13. It Made Them Mad(“Clementine”)

It made them mad to hear the answerPharaoh would not let them go.God would help them with a signalMighty power God would show.

No, no, no, no, no, no, noThat was all that Pharaoh said.With no way to beat his army,They would change his mind instead.

Every time bad things got startedHe would almost let them go;But as soon as things got better,He would switch and tell them NO! (shout “no!”)

When the tenth plague scared old Pharaoh,He’d no longer let them stay.“Get out of Egypt,” he fin’lly shouted.“Take your stuff and go away.”

With their cattle and some matzahJews were fin’lly on their way.Through the Red Sea and hot SinaiTo their own God they could pray.



14. Tonight("Tonight," from West Side Story, Rabbi Dan Liben, Passover, 2000)

Tonight, tonight,We'll tell a tale tonight,Of Pharaoh, Slaves and God's awesome might;

We'll do it right, with matzah, and marorand four children: -dull, wicked- and bright!

Tonight, we'll tell our people's story,The "genut" and then the glory,And how it came out right..

And when we're throughYou'll know you've been freed tooOn this Saaay-der night!

Tonight, tonight, we'll drink four cups of wine,We'll laugh and sing and dine'till its light;

The tale's not newAnd yet it still rings trueIt gives meaning -to being -a Jew!

Egyptian masters they did beat usBut Moses he did lead usFrom darkness into light;

And soon we'll knowWhy God did make it soOn this Saaaay-der night!



15. The Ballad of Mo Amramson ("The Ballad of Jed Clampett")

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Mo,His people they were slaves to the evil Pharaoh,Until one day he was lookin' at a bush,And he heard the voice of God, though he wasn't a lush---

The LORD, that is, I AM, The Big G.

Next thing you know, Mo's talkin' to Pharaoh,Mo says, "God said you gotta let my people go!"But the king says, "No, they always will be slaves to me!"So God sent down ten big plagues on Pharaoh's whole country---Blood 'n frogs, that is,Pestilence,Special effects.

When the first borns died, Pharaoh sent the Jews away,They ran and ate some matzoh on that very happy day,So now we have our Seder to commemorate that feat---We drink some wine and talk a lot, we sing and also eat!Matzoh, that is,

Maror too.And good food. Y'all come back now, y'hear!



16. Haggadah Wash that Man Right out of my Hair(To tune of “Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair” from “South Pacific”)

Haggadah wash that man right out of my hairBecause he's full of chometz but he doesn't care.That it's a custom now to be rid of that snare,I'll send him on his way.Haggadah drink my wine and feel real free,Haggadah eat charosez, matzah and tea,Haggadah keep the Seder, with joy and glee.I really love that day!!He doesn't like gefilte fish,eat it up, eat it up.He doesn't like the matzah dishHeat it up, heat it up.can't wait for him to change-Hey buddy... (repeat 1st verse).



17. Morror("More.")

Morror is the bitterness the world has known,But in Canada we need not moan.Morror were the ghettos of across the sea,

But here we habitate a land that's free.Morror on the table, we are sure andwe're able to look forward to manytypes of joy - oh boy-oi-oi-oi...Morror is the bitter herb upon our plate,And if we were sober we would palitateMorror is the answer for the schnorer, who is rich or poorer-Why can't we love forever .....Morror!



18. The Eight Nights of Passover('The Twelve Days”)

On the first night of Passover my mother served to me 1) a matzo ball in chicken soup 2) two dipped herbs 3) three pieces of matzah 4) four cups of wine 5) five gefilte fish 6) six capons baking 7) seven eggs a boiling 8) eight briskets roasting



19. Moses Island(By Mark Kreditor, Gilligan's Island)

Just recline right back and you'll hear a tale,a tale of dreadful trip.That started with ten awful plagues brought onto Egypt,brought unto Egypt.The boss he was a Jewish man raised as a Pharaohos son.Then G-d he did come calling and soon the fun begun,soon the fun begun.

More blood, such frogs, and all those bugs,Pharaoh could just barely see.The Jews were really scoring points and soon they would be free.and soon they would be free.

They shlepped and shlepped for forty years across a desert land.He went up to Mt Sinai and a party soon began,a party soon began.Moses, the Pharaoh too, Aaron and his wife.Marianne the skipper too here on the desert island.



20. Don't sit on the Afikomen(Glory, Glory, Halleluyah)

My Dad at every Seder breaks a Matza piece in twoAnd hides the Afikomen half-A game for me and youFind it, hold it ransom for the Seder isn't through'till the Afikomen's gone.

Chorus:

Don't sit on the Afikomen.Don't sit on the Afikomen.Don't sit on the Afikomen.Or the Meal will last all night

One year Daddy hid it 'neath a pillow on a chairBut just as I raced over, my Aunt Sophie sat down thereShe threw herself upon it-Awful crunching filled the airAnd crumbs flew all around

Chorus

There were matza crumbs all over-Oh, it was a messy sightWe swept up all the pieces though it took us half the nightSo, if you want your Seder ending sooner than dawn's light,Don't sit on the Afiko-o-men

Chorus



21. Passover Story(By Mark Kreditor, The Brady Bunch)

It's a story, about baby Moses, who came floatingdown the river called the NilePharoh's Queen was there just to catch him and so he stayed a while.

Its a story about Jewish builders, who were tiredof building Pyramids. All of them were slaves justlike their Mothers and just like their kids.

Until one day big Moses talked to Big G. That'sG-O-D and that spells Moses's God. He said youjust leave and go to Israel I won't make it hard.

So then Moses asked old Pharoh let my people go.He said: For Real, no, Moses, never, no. So the 10plagues were brought to Pharoh and he said: Moses go .

Your people can go. Now Moses go. That's theway Pharoh said now Moses go.



22. Moses(By Mark Kreditor, The Flintstones)

Moses, he's our Moseshe's the man that took us for a tourOut of, Pharoh's Egyptwent the children that he soon would lure

Come sitand eat matzah all week long.Listen to our prayersand to our songs of Moseshe's our herohe's a really really good time,a forty year guyhe's the one that set us free.



23. Barney Pesach(By Mark Kreditor, I Love You, You Love Me)

We are Jews can't you see,Moses took us out we're free.With a long long walk from Sinai to Israel,Charlton Heston's role he'd steal.



24. "There was a Man"(By Peter, Paul and Mary)

There is a man, comin' to Egypt,And Moses is his name,There is a man, Comin' to Egypt,In his heart there burns a flame,

In his heart there burns a flame, oh Lord,In his heart there burns a flame.

There is a man, comin' to Egypt,And his eyes are full of light,Just like the sun, Come up in Egypt,

Come to drive away the night,Come to drive away the night, oh Lord,Come to drive away the night.

There is a man, comin' to Egypt,To heal our souls from pain,And we will follow, Into freedom,Never wear these chains again,Never wear these chains again, oh Lord,Never wear these chains again.



25. 'Twas the night after Seder

'Twas the night after Seder, and all through the houseNothing would fit me, not even a blouse.The matzah, the farfel, the haroset I ate,After both the Sedarim, had gone to my waist.When I got on the scales there arose such a number!When I walked over to shul (less a walk than a lumber),I remembered the marvelous meals I'd prepared;The turkey with gravy, the beef nicely rared,

The wine and the matzo balls, the Migdal pareve cheeseThe way I'd never said, "I've had enough; no more, if you please."As I tied myself into my apron againspied my reflection and disgustedly,

then I said to myself, "you're such a weak wimp,""You can't show up at shul resembling a blimp!"So--away with the last of the meatballs so sweet,Get rid of the turkey, chopped liver and meat.

Every last bit of food that I like must be banishedTill all the additional ounces have vanished.I won't have any more macaroons from the box,I can't wait til next week. (Ah, the bagels and lox.)

I won't have any luxion, farfel or p'chah,I'll munch on a carrot or wire shut my own jaw.It's a three day yom tov and shabbas is stillAhead of me with another fleshiks meal to fulfill.If I have to cook one more chicken, I think I will riot.



26. PASSOVER IS COMING!! Adam Sandler Passover(Adam Sandler's "Chanuka Song")

This is a song for all those kids who can't eat leavened things during Passover.Jerry from Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, tooCelebrate Passover, just like me and you...

At the cliffs of Dover,We'll celebrate PassoverWe'll sing "Crimson and Clover"and celebrate Passover

Guess who gets together for first and second SederDr. Mike, the Medicine Woman and Ruth Ginsberg (Bader)Most of us eat chicken soup, with a matzoh ballEven some old movie stars, like Lauren Bacall...

Jeff Goldblum thinks of slaves' strife,So do Neil Diamond, Kerri Strug, and Woody Allen's new wife.Mayim Bialik eats lots of maror,So does Madeline Albright, but not Tipper Gore.

So many people dipping parsely in salt water,I think including someone from "Welcome Back Kotter"!So get out your Charoses,it's time to talk about Moses,

And open the door for Elijah,He really might surprise ya.Not a Jew is un-a-bomber Ted Kaczynski...But guess who is - White House intern Monica Lewinsky!

Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go,So I can have Seder with David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow.And guess who asks the four questions, timidly and shyly,We know him as Carter from ER, but his real name's Noah Wyle!

For eight long days, we cannot eat bread or rice,But guess who can? The boys from Hanson and Ginger Spice!The girl who plays Colleen on Dr. Quinn is named Jessica Bowman,I bet if she were Jewish she would find the Afikomen!

Tell Big Bird and GroverIt's time for PassoverGet in your Land Rover,and come celebrate Passover.



27. Frog SongOne day king Pharaoh awoke in his bed,

There were frogs in his bed and frogs on his head.

Frogs on his nose and frogs on his toes.

Frogs here, frogs there,

Frogs were jumping everywhere.

32. Eight Days a Year(By Lia Lehrer and Julia Latash, "Eight Days a Week")

We sit at the Seder tableOn the first two nights.We talk about the Hebrews and Egyptians And their awful fights.Egyptians lost, Hebrews wonEgyptians lost, Hebrews won.That's why we celebrate PesachEight days a year.

Eight days a year We cannot eat Hametz. Eight days a year We talk about Moses and other greats!

We look for the afikomenIn every single place.When the children find it,We love to see their face.Find it, win a prizeFind it, win a prize.So we can continue the SederEight days a year!



33. Help!(By Lia Lehrer and Julia Latash "Help!")

Help!We need somebody, help!Not just anybody!Help! You know we need someone!Help!

Help us if you can, we're feeling down.We know you're the best leader we have found.Help us get far away from town.Won't you please, please, help us,Help us, help us!



34. Yesterday(By Lia Lehrer and Julia Latash, "Yesterday")

Yesterday, all the Hebrews seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they should not stay, Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the prince I used to be. Will the Hebrews put their faith in me? Oh yesterday came suddenly

Why, they have to go, I don't know, but I know they cannot stay. Pharaoh's doing everything wrong, now I long for yesterday!

Yesterday, I killed an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave Now I need a place to hide away. Oh I believe in yesterday.

37. Moses is the Guy We'll Follow(By Lia Lehrer and Julia Latash, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds")

Picture yourself in a desert in SinaiWith sand in your shoes, and sun in your eyesSomebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,A man who's incredibly wise.

Very tall mountains of yellow and brownTowering over your headLook for the man with G-d's light in his eyesand he's gone.

Moses is the guy we'll follow Moses is the guy we'll follow Moses is the guy we'll follow Ahhhhhhhhh

Follow him down to a camp by a mountainWhere thousands of people eat G-d's manna pies.Everyone smiles as he walks up the mountainThat stands so incredibly high.

Higher and higher he begins to climbWaiting to get our lawsClimbing us high with his head in the cloudsand he's gone.


Picture yourself waiting down by the mountainWaiting and waiting, he finally arrives.Suddenly he's there holding our CommandmentsThe man who's incredibly wise.




38. MATZAH SHMURAH(By the Bohnen family, “That’s Amore,”)

It is round and it’s dullAnd has no taste at all--Matzah Shmurah!

It is guarded while storedAnd it tastes like cardboard--Matzah Shmurah!

It is watchedFrom the day it’s sownWater’s not allowedOr it’s thrown out the door-a!

It’s commanded by GodAnd it comes from Chabad--Matzah Shmurah!



39. Passover Sages, Be Wary, It’s Time(By the Bohnen family, “Scarborough Fair”)

Are you going to Seder tonight?Parsley, egg, haroset, and chrainRemind us of the Jews’ bitter plight --Moses freed them from Pharaoh’s chain.

Tell them to meet me at the Red Sea,Parsley, egg, haroset, and chrain,The sea will part and help them to flee,Pharaoh’s soldiers all will be slain.

Use these symbols year after year:Parsley, egg, haroset, and chrain,The Pesach story we all must hear,The memory of freedom will always remain.

46. The Ballad of the Five Women(By Burt Jacobson, "She'll Be Comin' Around the Mountain;" from the Kehilla CommunitySynagogue "A Passover Haggadah")

The two midwives wouldn't listen to PharaohWouldn't drown the Hebrew infants, oh, no no!It was Shirfah, it was Puah,Who saved each baby Jew, ah,Those two midwives wouldn't listen to Pharaoh.

Moses' mother hid him from the evil ones,For he was her flesh and blood, he was her son.Yocheved made an ark,Put her baby in the dark,Moses' mother hid him from the evil ones.

Moses' sister took him to the river Nile,And she watched as Pharaoh's daughter came in style.Miriam--she brought her mother,To nurse her baby brother,Moses' sister took him to the river Nile.

And the princess brought him up to be a man,Till away from Egypt Moses ran and ran.Batya, Batya--she was great,Joined the Hebrews in their fate,Yes, this princess brought him up to be a man.

Moses' wife gave him the courage to go back.If you stay in Midian, you'll wind up a hack!Oh Tsipora, oh Tsipora!Without her we'd have no Torah,Moses' wife gave him the courage to go back.

In the ark, Her light upon him, it did shine.Moses sought her presence, for her he did pine.Oh Shekhinah, soul of Torah,Now we seek you more and more, ah,In the ark Your light upon him, it did shine!



47. Ehad Mi Yodeah(Recommended by Mindy’s mother.)

Sing each of the stanzas starting with one person and then moving in one direction,right or left around the table. Allow participants to use English or Hebrew as they recitethe new number and then repeat the previous verses - until upon reaching “One”everyone joins in. Make up your own niggun or melody, or use the traditional melody.

62. Through the Red Sea(By Gary Teblum; kosher4passover.com, “Under the Sea" )

Our people were running quicklyNot stopping to even bake.They dreamed about a new homelandNot simply for their own sake.They saw what must lay before themThe red sea, they could not pass.They all turned to look at MosesHe needed to move quite fast.

Through the red sea.Through the red seaClearing a pathwayIt was a great dayTake it from me.

Yes, a miracle this may beYou can tell from all the gleeQuickly they scamperedCouldn't be hamperedThrough the red sea.

Egyptians followed behind them.And into the path they go.But no sooner were they in thereThat God did close down the show.Egyptians were not so luckyThey drowned on the water's floorSuch wonderful thing did happenWhat more could we ask God for?

Under the seaUnder the seaThat's where EgyptiansAre having conniptionsNow we are free.

Yes, it's a miracle that this may beYou can tell from all the gleeWe were all saved thereThat's why you should care‘Bout the red sea.

66. The Seder Rap(copyright Randi and Murray Spiegel, 2000)

Gonna tell you all a story, 'bout the Jews in Egypt,They had a good thing goin', there was no complaint.But then there came this Pharaoh, who was mean and nasty,He worked them night and day, from the heat they did faint.

They pleaded unto God, "Save us all, your children"And God looked down to them, he was quite distressed.So God appeared to Moses through a bush on fire,He said "Go back to Egypt, go clear up this mess."

Chorus:Tell the story, find the matzahh, drink the cups of wine.It's all in celebration, so let's sing and dine.

So Moses went to Pharaoh, saying "God's real angry,They've suffered many years, Le-let my people go."But Pharaoh didn't listen, he had no intentionsOf giving up his servants, and he HUHp said "No."

So God sent down 10 plagues, which were quite horrendous,They started out with water being changed to blood.And then there came the frogs; third, the lice persisted,Then wild beasts everywhere left a ... trail of crud.

Chorus

The cattle were all killed, and the boils were torture,The hail came down in torrents, heads were really woozie.From the sky there came the locusts, number 9 was darkness,But God was not yet done, number 10 was a doozie.

All the first-born dropped like flies, in their tents and temples,Every bird and beast in Egypt, only Pharaoh was spared.Such a wailin' in Mitsrayim, there was such commotion,Pharaoh couldn't comprehend, he just ... stopped and stared.

Chorus

The Jews ran out of Egypt, with their herds of cattle,Pharaoh followed with his armies, they were very near.But then Moses stretched his hand, and The Sea was parted,Our people walked on through, they were ... free and clear.



So here we are tonight, sitting 'round this table,We tell this tale again, never with a gap.When our ancestors were slaves, God reached out to help them,The Jews are now a people, 'cause we HUHp beat the rap!

Chorus

75. The Israelites in General(By Randi E. Spiegel, Gilbert & Sullivan's "I am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General")

We're here to tell the story of the Israelites in generalThey were the slaves of Pharaoh, who was really quite tyrannicalWe read in the Haggadah of the tale that is historicalAnd that is what a seder is, in order categorical

The Jews were slaves in Egypt and their lives were very tragicalAt least that's how we tell all of our stories that are biblicalIf we were living way back then, our fate would make the front page newsWith many sullen facts including killing all the male-born Jews

All: With many sullen facts including killing all the male-born Jews (2x) With many sullen facts including killing all the male-born, male-born Jews

Now Moses went to Egypt with a mission very seriousTold Pharaoh he must free the Jews and not to be nefariousThey were the slaves of Pharaoh, who was really quite tyrannicalWe're here to tell the story of the Israelites in general

All: They were the slaves of Pharaoh, who was really quite tyrannical We're here to tell the story of the Israelites in general

When Pharaoh didn't listen, God sent plagues that were just like a poxUpon the people and the land and animals as large as oxGod hoped that Pharaoh would concede and show he was not mercilessInstead the slaves were beaten more, while Pharaoh stood emotionless

So Moses raised his staff which changed the waters into blood with easeThey heard the croaking chorus from the frogs a'croaking in the breezeThen lice infested everyone, wild beasts stampeded with a roarThe cattle died, they all were killed, until there weren't any more

All: The cattle died, they all were killed, until there weren't any more (2x) The cattle died, they all were killed, until there weren't any, any more

So Moses came back with demands in Babylonic cuneiformGod sent the plague of boils in hopes that Pharaoh would, at last, reformWe were the slaves of Pharaoh, who was really quite tyrannicalWe're here to tell the story of the Israelites in general

All: We were the slaves of Pharaoh, who was really quite tyrannical We're here to tell the story of the Israelites in general

Egyptians and their Pharaoh waited for the next plague to begin



The hail came down in torrents with the sharpness of a javelinThe locusts swarmed, the blackened sky you could see from Mount AraratThen darkness overcame the land, folks couldn't see where they were at

The Jews put lambs' blood on their doors and packed their clothes and fineryEgyptians' first-born sons were killed; these are the plagues in summaryAnd then the Pharaoh did comply, told Moses that he would agreeThe Jews could now leave Egypt, he would let them live and set them free

All: The Jews could now leave Egypt, he would let them live and set them free (2x) The Jews could now leave Egypt, he would let them live and set them, set them free

We're here tonight to tell about our ancestors in slaveryWe'd not be here today without their courage, strength and braveryWe were the slaves of Pharaoh, who was really quite tyrannicalAnd now we've told the story of the Israelites in general

All: We were the slaves of Pharaoh, who was really quite tyrannical And now we've told the story of the Israelites in general.

80. Those Were the Plagues(By Doug Ballon “Those Were the Days”)

Once upon a time in Pharaoh’s palace,Mo’ and Aaron raised a rod or two.Remember how they brought ten plagues on Egypt,Until the tyrant said that he was through.

CHORUS:Those were the plagues my friend, we thought they’d bring an end,To hauling bricks we made of straw and clay.Pharaoh was dealt a blow, and let our people go,So we were free and sure to have our way!Yi di di di di di, Yi di di di di diThose were the plagues,oh yes, those were the plagues.

First, God made the water turn all bloody—The fishes in the Nile did rather stink.Rivers, ponds and even bowls turned cruddy,And not a single drop was left to drink.The second plague of frogs turned out no better,With bouncy little critters all around.The only ones that lived were in the river—The rest became a big green, smelly mound!

CHORUS

Moses and the Lord kept pressing Pharaoh—With lice, and flies, and then a cattle blight.Boils and hail and locusts didn’t sway him,And then God made the day as dark as night.On the door we finally smeared some lamb’s blood,And prepared the first Passover feast.The Lord struck down the first-born throughout Egypt—Sparing not a child nor any beast.

CHORUS



81. The Days of Wine and Charoses( “The Days of Wine and Roses”)

The days of wine and charosesare upon us now,With good drink and chow.There are fam-i-lies andfun-- oh joy, oh joy.....you've found the matzah now,and grandma she is plowed.

84. Pharaoh's Nile( "Gilligan's Island" © Randi and Murray. Spiegel, Passover 1995)

Just lean right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip That started back in ancient times, while under Pharaoh's whip. Well Moses was a pious man, G-d made him brave and sure, Though Pharaoh was a mighty man, his heart was not pure, his heart was not pure.

Old Pharaoh started getting tough, the Jews were harshly bossed. If not for the courage of the fearless few, our people would be lost, our people would be lost. They cried to G-d, please rescue us, conditions here are vile. Send Moses, and Aaron, too, to save our children and wives. We'll leave this land at G-d's behest, here on Pharaoh's Nile.

So G-d said Moses take you staff and with your brother go. To Pharaoh you will plead your case, to let my people go. Well Moses, he sure did his best, but Pharaoh was not moved, 'Til G-d sent down ten dreadful plagues, and His power was proved, His power was proved.

The frogs, the lice, and even boils, could not make Pharaoh bend 'Til slaying of the first born males, threatened Pharaoh's life to end,

threatened Pharaoh's life to end. The Jews escaped miraculously, when G-d helped them to flee. Egyptian armies followed them, but drowned in the deep Red Sea.

So this is a tale of our ancestors, they wandered a long, long time. They had to make the best of things, it was an uphill climb. So join us here each year my friends, it's sure to be worthwhile, Retelling how the Jews escaped, far from Pharaoh's Nile.



85. Moses’ Island(By Mark Kreditor, “Gilligan's Island”)

Just recline right back and you'll hear a tale,a tale of dreadful trip.That started with ten awful plagues brought onto Egypt,brought unto Egypt.

The boss he was a Jewish man raised as a Pharaohos son.Then G-d he did come calling and soon the fun begun,soon the fun begun.

More blood, such frogs, and all those bugs,Pharaoh could just barely see.The Jews were really scoring points and soon they would be free.and soon they would be free.

They shlepped and shlepped for forty years across a desert land.He went up to Mt Sinai and a party soon began, a party soon began.Moses, the Pharaoh too, Aaron and his wife.Marianne the skipper too here on the desert island.



86. I've Been Cooking for this Seder("I've Been Working on the Railroad")

I've been cooking for this seder Erev Pesach day Making matzah balls and kugel So we'll feast as well as pray Can't you smell the pareve sponge cake It rises up so little without yeast Can't you hear our voices singing At this joyous Pesach feast Mama, you can cook Mama, you can cook Milchidik and fleishidik and pareve, too Mama, you can stew Mama, you can stew Your seder food's delicious and we thank you



87. Pharaoh doesn't Pay("I've been Working on the Railroad")

We've been working on these buildings; Pharaoh doesn't pay. We've been doing what he tells us Mixing straw with clay. Can't you hear the master calling, "Hurry up, make that brick!" Can't you feel the master whip us 'Til we're feeling sick.

Oy vay, it's a mess, A terrible distress, Oy vay, it's a mess for Jews, us Jews.

Moshe's in the palace with Pharaoh, Warning of all God's clout, clout, clout. Moshe's in the palace with Pharaoh, And God's gonna get us out!

We're singing . . . . Fee, Fi, Fiddely eye oh, Make our matzahs "to go" oh oh oh. Fee, Fi, Fiddely eye oh, Stick it to the ol' Pharaoh!



88. The Ten Plagues("Adam's Family" theme song)

They're creepy and they're yuckyThey're altogether uckyThey're so completley muckyWe're talking 'bout the Plagues.

The Nile turned to bloodWhich was far worse than mudThen frogs and lice and crudThe start of the Ten Plagues.

Next beasts, blight, and boilsOn commoners and royalsThen hail and locusts spoiledThe country. It was wrecked.

Then Egypt drowned in darknessThe country was a big messAll chaos, as you can guessPharaoh could not protect.

The last plague was the worstThe first-born sons were cursedTheir parent's hearts were burstAnd Pharaoh let us go.

Each year we tell the storyAlthough this part is goryIt still speaks of God's gloryRemember the Ten Plagues.

Our cups are filled with wineThe joy with which we dineOur joy is far less fineWhen we remember the Ten Plagues.



89. A Rap song:

Gonna tell you all a story, 'bout the Jews in Egypt,They had a good thing goin', there was no complaint.But then there came this Pharaoh, who was mean and nasty,He worked them night and day, from the heat they did faint.

They pleaded unto G-d, "Save us all, your children"And G-d looked down to them, he was quite distressed.So G-d appeared to Moses through a bush on fire,He said "Go back to Egypt, go clear up this mess."

CHORUS:Tell the story, find the matzah, drink the cups of wine. It's all in celebration, so let's sing and dine.

So Moses went to Pharaoh, saying "G-d's real angry,They've suffered many years, Le-let my people go."But Pharaoh didn't listen, he had no intentionsOf giving up his servants, and he HUHp said "No."

So G-d sent down 10 plagues, which were quite horrendous,They started out with water being changed to blood.And then there came the frogs; third, the lice persisted,Then wild beasts everywhere left a ... trail of crud.

CHORUS

The Jews ran out of Egypt, with their herds of cattle,Pharaoh followed with his armies, they were very near.But then Moses stretched his hand, and The Sea was parted,Our people walked on through, they were ... free and clear.



So here we are tonight, sitting 'round this table,We tell this tale again, never with a gap.When our ancestors were slaves, G-d reached out to help them,The Jews are now a people, 'cause we HUHp beat the rap!

CHORUS

93. There's no Seder like Mom's Seder( “There’s no Business like Show Business”, Marjorie Ingall)

There's no Seder like Mom's SederLike no Seder we know.Everything about it is appealing —Everything Halacha will allow.Don't you know we get a happy feelingWhen Abie's stealing the matzo now.There's no people like Jew people;They smile when they are flogged.Even when they're fleeing from a big pogrom,The Passover melodies they will hum.Let's remember triumphs over all that scum;Let's go on with the Seder!



94. Yesterday(By Lia Lehrer and Julia Latash, "Yesterday")

There's a father with sons numbered fourHe explains the tale and the loreAs he tries to relateA story that is greatIt's what G-d did for meAs he made us all free.

Oh, Oh, OhFirst, there's the son with smartsHe understands the partThat he plays when weRetell the story.Tell him about the lawsDon't give it any pauseOh, that's why he's astute.

The wicked one's son number twoAsking what this all means to youHimself he excludesYou must answer the dudeIt's what G-d did for meAs he made us all free.

Oh Oh OhThe simple son he's not so keenHe asks what this all meansYou must tell him plainlyThat which happenedHow G-d's mighty handTook us out of the landSo that we might be free.

The fourth son may seem somewhat roughBecause he does not know enoughTo ask any question about what we knowYou must teach him each yearTil it's perfectly clear.

Oh Oh OhPassover -- celebrateRemembering our fateG-d did much for us



When we were in EgyptFreeing us from slaveryNow we all can seeG-d led us to be free



96. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Pesach(By Gary Teblum, “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”)

It's beginning to look a lot like PesachEv'rywhere you go;So get out your pad and pen, ordering once againWith lolly cones and macaroons, you know.

It's beginning to look a lot like Pesach,Streit’s in ev'ry store,But the sorriest sight they’ll be are the matzah crumbs you’ll seeOn your own tile floor.

A pair of horseradish roots and a few scallion shootsIs the wish of Barney and Ben;Gefilte fish and eggs on a dishIs the hope of Judith and Jen;And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for serving bread again.

It's beginning to look a lot like PesachEv'rywhere you go;There’s dayenu to be sung, questioning for the young,The standard four that all the kids do know.

It's beginning to look a lot like Pesach; Seder soon will start,And the thing that will make us cheer is when everyone does hearMeal’s the next big part.



97. I’m Dipping Greens in Salt Water(By Gary Teblum, “White Christmas”)

I’m dipping greens in salt waterJust like I did the year beforeGreens remind of springtimeand parsley’s so fineWhile salt echoes tears, you know.

I’m dipping greens in salt waterJust like I did the year beforeMay your greens be dipped with each biteAs you join together Pesach night.

I’m dipping greens in salt waterJust like I did the year beforeMay your greens be dipped with each biteAs you join together Pesach night.



98. Breaking the Middle Matzah(By Gary Teblum, “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”)

You know Kiddush and CandlesAnd parsley and motzi,Bad plagues and questionsAnd maror and hotzi.But do you recall The most famous custom of all?

Breaking the middle matzahInto the bag it goesThen when the leader hides it each face of the kinder glows

While clearing all the dishesChildren laugh and search for sameTrying so hard to find it, that’s the afikomen game

To our little cousin JoshWe did come to sayJoshy with your hands so smallWon't you reach behind the wall

Then Joshy found the matzahAnd we shouted out with gleeTurn in the afikomenFor some gelt for you and me.



99. Let Them Go, Let Them Go, Let Them Go(By Gary Teblum, “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow)

Well, the bondage of was frightfulAnd the pleas of Moses were rightfulBut since God sent plagues, you knowLet them go, let them go, let them go

Oh, they didn’t have time for bakingSo instead it’s Matzah they’re makingAnd since God sent plagues, you knowLet them go, let them go, let them go

When they finally said goodnight,Marking blood so to save their first bornAnd soon they will need to take flight,As they rise up in the morn.

There’s soon to be no more crying,As they leave from ’s lying,Yes, since God sent plagues, you know,Let them go, let them go, let them go.

101. Got Run Over By the Red Sea(By Gary Teblum, “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer”)

CHORUS:Pharaoh got run over by the Red Sea.Chasing Israelites who tried to leave.Some might say there’s no such thing as Ha ShemBut as for Jewish people, we believe.

He'd been telling Moses dailyThat he would not let them go.But the last plague was the last straw,So he sent them out the door, told them to go.

When he woke up the next mornin',Saw they left and did not pack.So he sent his men and horses,And instructing them to chase and get them back.

CHORUSPharaoh got run over by the Red Sea.Chasing Israelites who tried to leave.Some might say there’s no such thing as Ha ShemBut as for Jewish people, we believe

Up until they reached the Red Sea,They’d been takin' this so well.But they all then turned to Moses,Asking Moses what to do now, please do tell.Moses raised his staff with wonders.All the water was pushed back.And the people traveled forward:With Egyptians right behind them on their track.


Once the Jews were through the Red SeaMoses lowered down his stick.And the waters all receded,Drowning each of Pharaoh’s armies mighty quick.



I've told relatives, friends and neighbors.What a miracle he didNow you know we must remember,And retell this wondrous tale to every kid.




102. Have Yourself a Piece of Bitter Maror(By Gary Teblum, "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”)

Have yourself a piece of bitter marorOn each seder nightThen we’ll feelThe toils and our people's plight.

Have yourself a piece of bitter marorHillel sandwich way,We'll recall,Our troubles weren’t so far away.

Here we are as in a olden days,Such sad slavin' days of yore.Family, friends who are dear to usgather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be togetherJust as we are nowEating matzah, teaching all the children how.And have yourself a piece of bitter maror now.



103. Matzah Ball Soup(By Gary Teblum, “Jingle Bell Rock”)

Matzah ball, matzah ball, matzah ball soupMatzah ball’s king in soup that we bringBlowing and blowing on soup when it’s doneSoon we’ll know why there’s only one.

Matzah ball, matzah ball, matzah ball soupSee if we rhyme when’it’s matzah ball timeFloating and bloating from Matzah Ball pairIf you’re apt to dare.

What a bright time, it's the right timeTo eat the soup this wayMatzah ball time is a swell timeTo go sliding down your throat and sayGiddy-up matzah balls, fill up the bowls

For the entire groupEating this consommé’s good for the soulsThat's the matzah ball,That's the matzah ball,That's the matzah ball soup.



104. Elijah’s Song(By Gary Teblum, “The Little Drummer Boy”)

105. Hardened Heart(By Gary Teblum “A Hard Day’s Night”)

He had a hardened heartAnd he would not let us goHe had a hardened heartAnd here’s what you should know

Each time a plague did them inMoshe thought he would winBut ’s mind stood tight

You they know slaved all dayBuilding the pyramids was their thingAnd they waited for Moshe to sayI’ve heard from as the king


To our home, that’s where we’re headed tonightA new home, get there and we’ll be alrightYeh

He had a hardened heartAnd he would not let us goHe had a hardened heartAnd here’s what you should know

Each time a plague did them inMoshe thought he would winBut ’s mind stood tight


To our home, that’s where we’re headed tonightA new home, get there and we’ll be alrightYeh



106. In Canaan(By Uncle BooBoo, Youngstown, Ohio, “On Broadway”, The Drifters -1963)

They say the milk flows with delight,In Canaan.They say the smell of honey is in the air,In Canaan.Although we’ll wandered for forty yearsWith our fears and with our tears.But our prayers keep us goin’ ‘til we’re there,In Canaan.

Moses says this land is something else,In Canaan.And he can’t wait for us, to get there,In Canaan.Even though we have manna for a meal.We are the Children of IsraelAnd the Promised Land is G-d’s big deal,In Canaan.

Pharaoh says we won't last too long,In Canaan.We’ll catch a caravan back for Egypt, he says,In Canaan.But no, no Pharaoh’s wrong! We know he is.We’ll never be slaves again of his.And we’ll be free as Moses says,In CanaanIn CanaanIn Canaan…….



107. Jews on the Run(By Uncle BooBoo, Youngstown, Ohio, “Band on the Run” Wings)

Stuck inside Egypt.It seems like forever.Never seeing Canaan, nice again, Boohooo…Manna, like dew, Manna, like dew….

If we ever get out of here.Ought to make it all the way.Egypt would give us charity.All we need is a plague today.If we ever get out of here.If we ever get out of here……

Well, the plagues exploded with, “All Mighty’s Hand”As we baked matzahs in the sun.And the first one said to the second one there.I don’t think they will be done.

Jew on the run, Jews on the run.And the Pharaoh man, made a planTo capture everyone.Of the Jews on the run, Jews on the run.

Well, the night was falling as the desert worldBegan to settle down.With Pharaoh’s army comin’ after us.With God’s help they will be drown!

Jews on the run, Jews on the run.With God’s care, will get thereWe’re not slaves forever more!For the Jews on the run, Jews on the run.



108. Hagadah Song(By Uncle BooBoo, Youngstown, Ohio, “The Flintstones”)

Hebrews. Meet the Hebrews. They’re the ancestors of our family. From the town of Egypt, they’re a page right out of history.

Let’s read, why they made matzah from wheat.Cause they, were fast on the feet.

When you, read of Hebrews, you’ll have a, Oy we were slaves time,Then we were free time.You’ll have a gay old time!!!



109. Moses’s Island(Rewritten by Uncle BooBoo, Youngstown, Ohio, “Gilligan's Island”)

Just recline right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of fateful trip.That started with ten fearsome plagues brought unto Egypt, brought unto Egypt…

Our leader was a mighty Hebrew man.He was brave and sure,The plagues would let our people go, for a forty-year tour, a forty-year tour….

The plagues started getting rough,With blood and hail Egypt mourned.Then finally we were set free by slaying their first-born, by slaying their first-born…

The Jews shlepped and shlepped for forty years across the desert sand.Now we retell the story of reaching the Promised Land, reaching the Promised land….

With Aaron, the Pharaoh too, Moses and his wife,Miriam and the rest are told with Pesach style!



110. Help Us Moses!(Rewritten by Uncle BooBoo, Youngstown, Ohio, to the Beatle’s tune, “Help!”)

Help! We need somebody!Help! Not just anybody!Help! You know we need someone!H--E--L--P!

When we were younger, so much younger than today,You hid in a basket and you floated far away.And now your life has changed in oh so many waysOur freedom really has vanished in the haze.

Help us if you can, we're feeling down.And we do appreciate you being round.Help us get away from Egypt town.Won't you please, please, help us,Help us, Help us! Ooooo
