This Passover home atmosphere is something created by the family. One makes "Pesach" at home by the enthusiastic, cheerful observance of the traditional rules and regulations especially pertaining to foods, unique family and ethnic food customs, their preparation and serving. How can you maximize meeting the unique needs and interests of your Seder: 1. This Haggadah printed on separate pages, for those who have not purchased Davka 6 Platinum in which this Haggadah was composed. Simply download one copy, print it and then edit what you wish to include or exclude for your Seder. Then, print the number of copies to bind into separate Haggadot. 2. If you do own Davka 6 Platinum, download the appropriate selection of the entire traditional Haggada, and after editing, reduce the “white space” and any need for separate pages for each section - if you wish. 3. This Haggadah version is intended for those who want a more complete traditional Seder with minor “editing” of inclusions and exclusions. This edition does NOT include the Seder Song 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 which are considerably abbreviated are based upon “The Family Participation Haggadah: A DIFFERENT 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 should have a one hour Seder plus the meal. Zion and Dishon have written and published a magnificent Family Haggadah and also have written a Leader’s Guide that is also enthusiastically commended to you. YOU are encouraged to use this Haggadah in a way that makes sense for you, your family and guests. For myself, I prefer to use a 3-ring notebook to “bind” the pages, or at least to bind r my Leader’s Guide. It encourages me to edit, to add and subtract every year what does or does not make for a meaningful Seder experience. (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 5 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 beyond you - use the English. If you need to abbreviate a section because of the age of the children, do what must be done. If some of the older children are learning Hebrew, encourage them to prepare - 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 Second Night and Next Year and for years to come, for you, your family and your friends. Next year or in a couple of years you may want to venture into a more complicated, longer and engaging Seder - 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” has been 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. I suggest when you do so, leave at least one copy for the leader with a “facing page” in a three-ring notebook on which to paste, write, etc. notes and suggestions as you prepare for the Seder. Alternatively, you can print on only one side, leaving blank “facing pages” for children and others to illustrate with original art work, collages, notes from school, alternative subjects for discussion, etc. In addition to participating in communal Passover projects of tzedakah and caring, to attending synagogue services with your family, potential precious family holiday activities empower you to create and offer your family a beautiful and meaningful Passover heritage. The treasures of childhood memories are immeasurably enriched by the indelible impressions left on the young through sharing in Passover preparations, the Seder meal and the holiday services. The following pages have been collected, edited, written and re-written numerous times, and they have been shared in congregational bulletins, faxes and now over the Internet. Wherever possible I have tried to give proper attribution. I hope that as we learn who has written which of these 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 year that I have not indicated differently because it would have been a “messy” text. I would hope that 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 you credit. Please note that spellings and transliteration will vary and indeed some readings will certainly provoke discussion, both agreement and disagreement which is the intention of the Passover Seder. Many thanks to colleagues, and friends over the years. Especially, I want to thank Reuven Lerner-Friedman and Jonathan Magen for their computer know-how and helpfulness in bringing all of these materials to you.. Note: I call this “FREEWARE.” Feel “free” to copy, share, or in any other fashion allow others to use this resource in any non-commercial - no quantity limit. Last year there were tens of (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 6 thousands of hits at our website early on, and that is the only goal of “Jewish FreeWare: to distribute a useful free product for non-commercial use. Above all: This edition would not have been possible without the permission of Davka software and the use of Davkawriter 6. Platinum and their Davka Haggadah, Siddurim and TaNaKH software. This year’s editions of the Haggadot are using the newly develop Davka transliteration of the Haggadah and we thank them for this privilege. We thank the Rosenbaum family and the Davka Software Company and our long personal association with them. I have been editing, collecting and writing materials for the Haggadot, the Passover Seder Guide, 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 of love since 1970. I hope that sharing it more recently through the Internet and my website that all of it or parts of it will be helpful to you and your family as well as friends for a sweeter and more meaningful Seder and Pesach Festival.

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,” “Passover Guide Preparation,” and “Seder Supplement” (always being upgraded) for convenient and helpful downloads. Speak with your Rabbi and rely upon the publication of guidelines from your congregation or denomination regarding preparation - perhaps on-line. There are a variety of phone and email services on which you can rely at this time of year for information and you are encouraged to do so. The preparation for Passover ought to be part of the joy, the simcha shel mitzvah that you impart to all your family, especially your children. 2. I personally advise in my materials a traditional approach of removing all hametz of food, drink and ingredients from your habitation possession. Not only do we set these materials aside in sealed containers and cabinets, but we also “sell” all our hametz, generally relying upon 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 the First-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 should be invited to attend to become familiar with the service and to prepare them for when they will attend the Service of the First-Born with their own children. Your Rabbi and tradition will determine if the Siyyum fast only applies to the first-born male or the first-born female as well and for younger children.

Use a feather to sweep up the hametz into a paper bag and search by light of a candle or flashlight. Put out a known number of pieces of bread, each on a napkin, one piece in every room. WHEN Passover begins Saturday night, the search is moved to Thursday night and the hametz is destroyed Friday morning; the Sabbath meals are prepared kosher for Passover; the Fast for the First-Born is held on Thursday morning. ] xErA¦ lr© Ep«E¨v¦ e§ ,eiz¨ Fv§ n¦ A§ EpW«¨ C§w¦ xW¤ `£ ,ml¨ Frd¨ Kl¤ n«¤ epid«¥Ÿl`¡ i¨i§ dY¨ `© KExA¨ .un¥ g¨ Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav, v'tzivanu al bi-ur chameitz. Praised are you, Adonai, Lord of the universe, who has made us a sacred People with his commandments and commanded us to remove all hametz. [After the search, recite the following formula which annuls all hametz crumbs not found and save the bag for burning the next morning no later than 10:00 AM or by the time your Rabbi advises.] lh¥ A¨ l¦ Dl¥ `p¨r§ c«©i§ `l¨ c§E DY¥ x§r© a¦ `l¨ c§E DY¥ n¦ g£ `l¨ C§ iz¦ EWx§a¦ `M¨ `¦ C§ dr¨ in¦ g£ e© `x¨in¦ g£ lM¨ .`r¨ x§`© c§ `x¨t§ r© M§ xw¥ t§ d¤ ie¥d¡l¤ e§ Kol chamira vachami-ah d'ika virshuti d'la chamiteih ud'la vi-arteih ud'la y'dana leih libateil v'lehevei hefkeir k'afra d'ara.

ERADICATING THE HAMETZ - !#"%$&07=.+ [ After finding and placing the hametz in the paper bag, it is to be burned before 10:00 AM on the morning of the First Seder, including the feather (or lulav) and wooden spoon. Burning it in an empty garbage can is safe and one should not use any kind of accelerant, e.g. gasoline. ] ie¥d¡l¤ e§ lh¥ ,DY¥ x§r© a¦ `l¨ c§E DY¥ x§r© a¦ C§ ,DY¥ n¦ g£ `l¨ C§E DY¥ n¦ g£ C© a¦ `M¨ `¦ C§ dr¨ in¦ g£ e© `x¨iA¨ l¦ n¦ g£ lM¨ .,DY¥ f¦g£ `l¨ C§E DY¥ f¦g£ C© iz¦ EWx§ `r¨ x§`© c§ `x¨t§ r© M§ xw¥ t§ d¤ Kol chamira vachami-ah d'ika virshuti dachaziteih ud'la chaziteih, dachamiteih ud'la chamiteih, d'vi-arteih ud'la vi-arteih, libateil v'lehevei hefkeir k'afra d'ara.

Most Haggadot had fifteen words printed at the beginning of the Seder service that rhyme in the Hebrew and outline the Seder sequence. According to tradition, our mnemonic is credited to Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaki, RaSH”I, a 12 century French commentator. This mneumoniahas various melodies and you can chant in once - or more times - depending upon those who are present and have favorite melodies from Religious or Day School and from memories of Sedarim past. ] KADESH URHATZ .ug© x§E .WC¥w© KARPAS YAHATZ .ug© i© .qR© x§M© MAGID RAHTZA .dv¨ g§ x¨ .ciB¦ n© MOTZEE MATZAH .dS¨ n© `iv¦ Fn MAROR KOREKH .Kx¥FM .xFxn¨ SHULHAN OREKH .Kx¥Fr og¨ l§ Wª TZAFUN BAREKH .Kx¥A¨ .oEtv¨ HALLEL NIRTZAH .dv¨ x§p¦ .lN¥ d© (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 12 I.

URHATZ / Wash - !%( 0-7 [ We wash in preparation for eating the vegetable (Karpas). Since the need for such washing was questioned after the Rabbinic period and washing before eating vegetables fell ultimately into disuse except for the Seder, no blessing is required. For some Seder celebrations, only the Leader has his/her hands washed - without a blessing, and in other customs we go around to each 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 to wash the hands of the leader or all of the participants. In our home we purchased an antique bowl and a modern cup that. In time together they will both become family heirlooms and both will be antiques in time – and memory.

For those who are looking for a more substantive Karpas, consider the following: This year we will be using blanched asparagus, displayed tips outward in a circle, with a mayonnaise dip in the 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 both the memory of the oppressed of Egypt and the oppressed of the Holocaust. In the past, we have also used artichokes for which there are many kosher for Passover recipes, if only blanched in water with lemons and then served with a dip. Dipped in salt water for purification and/or seasoning these vegetables remind us of the baby boys cast in the Nile and the tears shed by the slaves. The blessing said is the usual benediction of thanks before eating any vegetable. ] :dn¨ c¨`£ d¨ ix¦R§ `x¥FA ,ml¨ Frd¨ Kl¤ n¤ Epid¥Ÿl`¡ ,i¨i§ dY¨ `© KExA¨ Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, borei p'ri ha-adamah.

YAHATZ / Divide - !%((* [ Divide the middle Matzah into two parts, and there is no berakhah. Take the larger part, wrap it in napkin and save it for the conclusion of the meal as the Afikoman. Try - but don't try too hard -to keep it from being stolen by the children because it must be available for the end of the meal. For the sake of the children – and “a night of watching” – use a special Afikoman cover to identify 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 removed from the table is to prevent against the possibility of eating the piece designated Afikoman before the proper time. Another current practice in many homes is for the master of the house to rise from the table at some point during the course of the meal and hide the Afikoman somewhere in the home, and that when it is needed, the children are sent to “find” it, the successful one being rewarded with a prize or “redemption-gift.” Whether the master of the house hides the Afikoman or conceals it near him against theft, the additional purpose is clear today: to keep the attention of children in the Seder as long as possible, especially during late hours when normally they would have been asleep. 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 in order that his sons should notice it and ask ‘How is this night different….’ In what way might the procedure be changed? By distributing parched grain or nuts to the children, by having the table removed before the meal would normally begin, by each trying to snatch away the other’s unleavened bread, and so on.” The best rewards are not money – contrary to many Sedarim. It may be easier to give children money, as is often done. However, it is definitely preferable that you spend some time and effort planning the gifts that will bind the children to their Seder and Passover memories. Consider gifts that they will use for future generations at the Seder service: (1) books – especially Haggadot that they can pass on to their children in time; (2) their own special Seder silver cup that can be inscribed with their Hebrew name or initials; (3) a piece of Jewish software for their computer; (4) or Seder toys that they can save for their children and grandchildren. Creativity and the age and interests of the child are the cornerstones for an appropriate reward. ] (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 18 V.

The normal pattern of eating and sitting at the table was changed in order to prompt questions from the children, encouraging them to note the difference between the normal and the Passover evening patterns. Such distinctions are noted in the various texts of the Four Questions. When a difference was historically no longer relevant, it was abandoned (e.g. the roasted flesh) and when other practices came into existence, they were added to the Seder liturgy reclining which was a post-Talmudic custom]. ?zFliN¥ d© lM¨ n¦ d¤Gd© dl¨ i§N«© d© dP¨Y© W§ P¦ dn© Mah nishtanah ha-laylah hazeh mikol ha-leilot?

Matzah - what does it symbolize in the Seder? There was insufficient time for the dough of our ancestors to rise when the holy one, Blessed be He was revealed to us and redeemed us, as it is written in the Torah: “And they baked the dough which they brought forth out o Egypt into matzah - cakes of unleavened bread - which had not risen, for having been driven out of Egypt they could not tarry, and they had mad no provisions for themselves.” [The plate of Matzah is lowered.] (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 49 0/0#$ [ The Maror is raised. ] mix¦v§ O¦ d© Exx§O¥ W¤ mEW lr© ?dn¨ mEW lr© ,mil¦ k§ F` Ep`«¨ W¤ d¤f xFxn¨ ,dW¨ w¨ dc¨Ÿa£rA© md¤ iI¥g© Îz`¤ Exx£n¨ i§e© :xn© `¡ P¤W¤ ,mi¦x«©v§ n¦ A§ Epiz«¥ Fa`£ iI¥g© Îz`¤ Eca§ r¨ xW¤ `£ ,mz¨ c¨Ÿa£rÎlM¨ z`¥ :dc¤V¨ A© dc¨Ÿa£rÎlk¨ a§ E ,mip¦ a¥ l§ a¦ E xn¤ Ÿg« A§ .Kx¤t«¨ A§ md¤ a¨ Maror zeh she-anu och'lim, al shum mah? al shum shemeir'ru hamitzrim et chayei avoteinu b'mitzrayim, shene-emar.

A DNA search revealed that a young Cornish lady shared a direct genetic relationship. In an interview she stated: “One normally thinks only of one’s parents and grandparents as members of one’s family. 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 their historical ancestors in a constant literary tradition of names, activities, Talmud and codes, and the rich spiritual heritage of laws, customs, ceremonies and symbols that is constantly evolving and growing in meaning and depth. ] ,mi¦x«¨v§ O¦ n¦ `v¨ i¨ `Ed EN`¦ M§ ,Fnv§ r© Îz`¤ zF`x§l¦ mc¨`¨ aI¨g© xFce¨ xFCÎlk¨ A§ ,il¦ i¨i§ dU¨ r¨ d¤f xEa£rA© :xŸn`l¥ `Edd© mFIA© Lp§ a¦ l§ Y¨ c§B©d¦ e§ :xn© `¡ P¤W¤ ,`Ed KExA¨ WFcT¨ d© l`© B¨ ,ca¨ l§ A¦ Epiz¥ Fa`£ Îz`¤ `Ÿl .mi¦x«¨v§ O¦ n¦ iz¦ `v¥ A§ or© n«© l§ ,mW¨ n¦ `iv¦ Fd Epz«¨ F`e§ :xn© `¡ P¤W¤ ,md¤ O¨ r¦ l`© B¨ Epz«¨ F` s`© `N¨ `¤ .Epiz«¥ Ÿa`£ l© rA© W§ p¦ xW¤ `£ ux¤`«¨ d¨ Îz`¤ Epl«¨ zz¤ l«¨ ,Epz«¨ Ÿ` `ia¦ d¨ B'chol dor vador chayav adam lirot et atzmo, k'ilu hu yatza mimitzrayim, shene-emar: v'higadta l'vincha bayom hahu leimor: ba-avur zeh asah Adonai li, b'tzeiti mimitzrayim.

Now, though, all wash with the usual benediction as the hands are dried. We wash because (1) we are a “kingdom of priests” and whenever we wash before eating, we are reminded of that special role, and (2) the ritual washing recalls the priestly eating of their tithes in purity. It is customary not to speak - but you can hum quietly - until all are ready to recite MOTZEE-MATZAH. ] lr© EpE¨v¦ e§ ,eiz¨ Fv§ n¦ A§ EpW«¨ C§w¦ xW¤ `£ ,ml¨ Frd¨ Kl¤ n«¤ Epid«¥Ÿl`¡ i¨i§ dY¨ `© KExA¨ :mi¦c«¨i¨ zl© ih¦ p§ Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav, v'tzivanu al n'tilat yadayim.

MOTZEE - MATZAH - 2O$#( &<*N+ /C [ The first food at the meal is, as usual, bread (naturally, however, this bread - the matzah - is unleavened bread). The usual beracha - the motzee - is recited. However, before eating the matzah, 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,” the two loaves reminiscent of the double portion of manna in the desert for Shabbat and Festivals, we raise all three pieces to recite Ha-Motzee. ] :ux¤`«¨ d¨ on¦ mg¤ l«¤ `iv¦ FOd© ,ml¨ Frd¨ Kl¤ n«¤ Epid«¥Ÿl`¡ ,i¨i§ dY¨ `© KExA§¨ Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, hamotzi lechem min ha-aretz.

MAROR / Bitter Herbs - 0/0#$ [ Small pieces of horse-radish are dipped into the haroset (symbolic of mortar) to indicate that over-emphasis on material things results in bitterness. Before eating it, a berakha thanking God for this requirement is recited. Some people mix the pieces of horse-radish with haroset. We generally do not recline while eating maror as it is a symbol of slavery. ] lr© Ep«E¨v¦ e§ eiz¨ Fv§ n¦ A§ EpW«¨ C§w¦ xW¤ `£ ,ml¨ Frd¨ Kl¤ n«¤ Epid«¥Ÿl`¡ ©i¨i§ dY¨ `© KExA¨ :xFxn¨ zl© ik¦ `£ Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al achilat maror.

KOREKH / Hillel Sandwich - Q0"/6 [ In ancient times, Hillel ate the three symbolic foods (lamb, matzah and bitter herbs) folded together so that each mouthful contained all three. Thus the symbols of slavery and of liberation were intermingled. Now that we do not have the Paschal lamb, we eat just the matzah and horse-radish in a "Hillel sandwich". No special berakha is said, but we do read the following words recalling Hillel's practice. ] di¨d¨ .mI¨w© di¨d¨ WC¨w§ O¦ d© ziA¥ W¤ on© f§A¦ lN¥ d¦ dU¨ r¨ oM¥ :lN¥ d¦ M§ WC¨w§ n¦ l§ xk¤ ¥f zFSn© Îlr© :xn© `¡ P¤X¤ dn© m¥Iw© l§ .cg© «i©A§ lk¥ F`e§ xFxn¨ E dS¨ n© gq© R¤ Kx¥FM :Edl«ªk§ `Ÿi mix¦Fxn§ E Zeicher l'mikdash k'hileil.

L'kayeim mah shene-emar. “Al matzot um'rorim yochlu-hu.” This way of eating matzah, maror and haroset reminds us of how Hillel would do so when the Second Temple still existed, making a sandwich of the Pashal lamb, matzah and maror, fulfilling the Torah injunction: “with matzot and maror they shall eat the Pashal lamb.” (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 59 XI. SHULHAN OREKH / Meal - Q0/=&" I%$-38R [ The joyous feasting gives us the feeling of human fellowship in harmony with God. The meal traditionally begins with a hard-boiled egg, dipped or covered with some of the salt water. Thereafter, it is a traditional festive meal. I had learned long ago in a Seminary class that a Roman banquet, described in the Latin phrase, was “from an egg to an apple.” To me it always suggested the tradition of the hard-boiled egg and the apple as the primary ingredient of the Seder haroset. But that’s just a thought. BDL ] (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 60 XII. TZAFUN /AFIKOMAN / Dessert - I7SN$ [ If someone of the children has “stolen” it, or if the adults have hidden the Afikoman when it is first put aside (IV) and let the children look for it during the meal to win a prize, it is now time to redeem 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 for the two remaining mandatory ritual cups of wine, one for the Grace after meals and one for Hallel. One accepted theory is that Afikoman is a Greek word connoting the dessert – dates, parched corn, nuts, sweet fruits, etc. The Seder meal in the time of the Temple was concluded with a taste of 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 Talmud prohibited any practices which might detract from the attention that must be paid to the symbol of Passover, the Paschal sacrifice. It is the custom in some countries to save a piece of the Afikoman from the Second Seder until the burning of the Hametz the following year, when both are burned together. ] (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 61 XIII.

The Crusades were a series of military conflicts of a religious character waged by Christians from 1096-1291, usually sanctioned by the Pope. The First Crusade was launched in 1095 by Pope Urban II with the dual goals of liberating the sacred city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslims, and freeing the Eastern Christians from Muslim rule. Inevitably the Crusades also involved destruction and oppression of Jewish communities in Europe and the Holy Land. The harshness of this section often causes it to be excluded or skipped in many a modern Seder.] :E`x«¨w¨ `Ÿl Ln§ W¦ A§ xW¤ `£ zFkl¨ n§ n© Îlr© e§ LEr« c¨i§ `Ÿl xW¤ `£ ,mi¦FBd© Îl`¤ Lz§ n¨ g£ KŸtW§ :mb¥iV¦ i© LR§ `© oFxg£ e© ,Ln«¤ r§ ©f md¤ il¥ £rÎKt¨ W§ :EOW«© d¥ Ed«e¥p¨Îz`¤ e§ .aŸw£ri©Îz`¤ lk© `¨ iM¦ :i¨i§ in¥ W§ zg© Y«© n¦ ,mc¥in¦ W§ z© e§ s`© A§ sŸCx§Y¦ “Pour out your fury on the nations that do not know you, upon the kingdoms that do 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 the Lord!” (Lam. 3:66) [Noam Zion and David Dishon, “A Different Night, ” bring a medieval Haggadah text, “Your Love,” from a Worms, 1521, manuscript, attributed to the grandchildren of Rashi.

From the straits I called upon the Lord; the Lord answered me by placing me in a great 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.

Thou hast saved us from 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, Lord our God, never abandon us. Therefore, the limbs which Thou has given us, the spirit and soul which Thou has breathed into our 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, every mouth shall offer thanks; every tongue shall vow allegiance; every knee shall bend, and all who stand erect shall bow. All hearts shall revere Thee, and men's inner beings shall sing to your name, as it is written: "all my bones shall say: O Lord, who is like Thee? Thou savest the poor man from one that is stronger, the poor and needy from one who would rob him." Who may be likened to Thee? Who is equal to Thee? Who can be compared to Thee? O Great, mighty and revered God, supreme God is the Master of heaven and earth. Let us praise, acclaim and glorify Thee and bless your holy name, as it is said: "A Psalm of David: Bless the Lord, O my soul, and let my whole inner being bless His holy name."

(c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 94 PASSOVER SONGS, OLD AND NEW [ Many songs - both traditional and “fun” or parody songs - have been gathered from far and near over many years. Feel free to insert them within the Seder wherever you and your Seder participants will enjoy and find them meaningful. The remainder of the Seder with songs can become a “fun conclusion” before you recite the Nirtzah. Others prefer to sing some of the traditional and “fun” songs before Nirtzah, conclude the 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. In addition, it includes the English “fun” songs and Hebrew songs in a “paginated” format such that you can either print out the entire text and edit by physically adding or removing any text you wish, OR if you download it into Davka 6 Platinum you can edit it in your computer before making 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 each Passover collection which involve Hebrew: (1) a “PDF” which cannot be edited although once printed, you can insert each page where you want it ; or (2) a “Davka 6 Platinum” edition which if you open in your Davka 6 can then be edited in the computer before printing. I will be adding this year some “Davka” editions of an earlier vintage, which may or may not work as well in terms of sustaining Hebrew and English formatting. My own recommendation is that you purchase Davka 6 or upgrade an earlier version to Davka 6. At the website there are THREE 5768 / 2008 Passover Song Book pagination versions: (1) 5768 PASSOVER SONG BOOK “P”, each song is printed on its own Paginated page in order for you to download and print the songs, and then select which songs you wish to us and place them where you want them within the Seder; (2) 5768 PASSOVER SONG BOOK “S”, in which all songs are sequenced continuously; (3) 5768 PASSOVER SONG BOOK “E”, a version of the song 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 on popular melodies and which do not reflect any other religious celebration. While even synagogue music borrowed melodies from their neighbors, I wanted to be sensitive to the feelings of Seder celebration participants, family and their guests. Therefore when down-loading the 5768 PASSOVER SONG BOOK, in either “Paginated” version or “Sequential,” check to see which 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 credit to authors and to all sources. I especially want to thank “Uncle Boo Boo”, Mark Kreditor and Mark Berch for their correspondence and contributions. If an error has occurred of omission or commission 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 (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 95 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 halachic Nothing that the Torah won't allow. Listen how we read the whole Haggadah It'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 heat They baked the matzah While on their feet Now isn't that a story That just can't be beat? Let's go on with the show! (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 96 2. Take Us Out of Egypt (By Ron Wolfson, “Take me out to the ball game") Take us out of Egypt Free us from slavery Bake us some matzah in a haste Don't worry 'bout flavor-- Give no thought to taste. Oh it's rush, rush, rush, to the Red Sea If we don't cross it's a shame For it's ten plagues, Down and you're out At the Pesach history game. (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 97 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 Elijah Come to take a sip again. He is feeling pretty fine We don’t want him to feel loose. So perhaps instead of wine We should only give him juice. (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 98 4. Elijah (By Rabbi Dan Liben, "Maria") Elijah! I just saw the prophet Elijah. And suddenly that name Will never sound the same to me. Elijah! He came to our Seder Elijah! He had his cup of wine, But could not stay to dine This year-- Elijah! For your message all Jews are waiting: That the time's come for peace and not hating-- Elijah-- Next year we'll be waiting. Elijah!

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 labored through 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 slavery They 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 (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 100 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 dining Are put on hold now. We hear four questions, The answer given Recalls the Jews from Egypt driven. The ch'rain is bitter, (haroset better!) Please pass the matzah. Why is this evening different From all the other nights? This year the Jews all over Are 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 ringing Our 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 Pesach We'll all be here. It's a tradition... Same time next year... So fill it up now, the final cup now, Next year at ______. (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 101 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 questions he could scarcely speak at all. Said the wise one to his father "Would you please explain the laws? Of the customs of the Seder Will you please explain the cause?" And the father proudly answered, "As our fathers ate in speed, Ate the paschal lamb 'ere midnight And from slavery were freed." So we follow their example And 'ere midnight must complete All the Seder and we should not After 12 remain to eat. Then did sneer the son so wicked "What does all this mean to you?" And the father's voice was bitter As his grief and anger grew. "If you yourself don't consider As son of Israel, Then for you this has no meaning You could be a slave as well." (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 102 Then the simple son said simply "What is this," and quietly The good father told his offspring "We were freed from slavery." But the youngest son was silent For he could not ask at all. His bright eyes were bright with wonder As his father told him all. My dear children, heed the lesson and remember evermore What the father told his children Told his sons that numbered four. (The original "Ballad of the Four Sons" Clementine was written by Ben Aronin in 1948. The gender-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 (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 103 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 me Like making bricks from clay. Can’t you hear the master calling, “Hurry up, make a brick!” Can’t you feel the master hurt me Until 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?

Pharaoh’s Lament (“The Itsy-Bitsy Spider”) My river and my sun gods have always helped me rule. Down came the plagues And folks think I’m a fool. Up come the slaves’ God And tells me what to do. I’m a roughy-toughy Pharaoh. Why won’t my gods come through? (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 105 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 –y All your firstborn sons will die –ie; And your people will cry out if we can’t go.

Our Passover Things (By "My Favorite Things" from the "Sound of Music" ) Cleaning and cooking and so many dishes Out with the chametz, no pasta, no knishes Fish that's gefilted, horseradish that stings These are a few of our Passover things. Matzah and karpas and chopped up haroset Shankbones and kiddish and yiddish neuroses Tante who kvetches and uncle who sings These are a few of our Passover things. Motzi and moror and trouble with Pharaohs Famines and locusts and slaves with wheelbarrows Matzah balls floating and eggshell that clings These are a few of our Passover things. When the plagues strike When the lice bite When we're feeling sad We simply remember our Passover things And then we don't feel so bad. (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 107 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.

Let My People Go (Traditional spiritual) When Israel was in Egypt land Let My People go Oppressed so hard they could not stand Let My People go. Go down, Moses Way down in Egypt land Tell old Pharaoh To Let My People go. (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 109 13. It Made Them Mad (“Clementine”) It made them mad to hear the answer Pharaoh would not let them go. God would help them with a signal Mighty power God would show. No, no, no, no, no, no, no That was all that Pharaoh said. With no way to beat his army, They would change his mind instead. Every time bad things got started He 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 matzah Jews were fin’lly on their way. Through the Red Sea and hot Sinai To their own God they could pray. (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 110 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 maror and 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 through You'll know you've been freed too On 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 new And yet it still rings true It gives meaning -to being -a Jew! Egyptian masters they did beat us But Moses he did lead us From darkness into light; And soon we'll know Why God did make it so On this Saaaay-der night!

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!

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 hair Because 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 dish Heat it up, heat it up. can't wait for him to change- Hey buddy... (repeat 1st verse).

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 and we're able to look forward to many types of joy - oh boy-oi-oi-oi... Morror is the bitter herb upon our plate, And if we were sober we would palitate Morror is the answer for the schnorer, who is rich or poorer- Why can't we love forever .....Morror!

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 (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 115 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. (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 116 20. Don't sit on the Afikomen (Glory, Glory, Halleluyah) My Dad at every Seder breaks a Matza piece in two And hides the Afikomen half-A game for me and you Find 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 chair But just as I raced over, my Aunt Sophie sat down there She threw herself upon it-Awful crunching filled the air And crumbs flew all around Chorus There were matza crumbs all over-Oh, it was a messy sight We swept up all the pieces though it took us half the night So, if you want your Seder ending sooner than dawn's light, Don't sit on the Afiko-o-men Chorus (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 117 21. Passover Story (By Mark Kreditor, The Brady Bunch) It's a story, about baby Moses, who came floating down the river called the Nile Pharoh's Queen was there just to catch him and so he stayed a while. Its a story about Jewish builders, who were tired of building Pyramids. All of them were slaves just like their Mothers and just like their kids. Until one day big Moses talked to Big G. That's G-O-D and that spells Moses's God. He said you just 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 10 plagues were brought to Pharoh and he said: Moses go . Your people can go. Now Moses go. That's the way Pharoh said now Moses go.

Listen to our prayers and to our songs of Moses he's our hero he's a really really good time, a forty year guy he's the one that set us free.

'Twas the night after Seder 'Twas the night after Seder, and all through the house Nothing 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 cheese The way I'd never said, "I've had enough; no more, if you please." As I tied myself into my apron again spied 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 banished Till 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 still Ahead of me with another fleshiks meal to fulfill. If I have to cook one more chicken, I think I will riot.

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, too Celebrate Passover, just like me and you... At the cliffs of Dover, We'll celebrate Passover We'll sing "Crimson and Clover" and celebrate Passover Guess who gets together for first and second Seder Dr. Mike, the Medicine Woman and Ruth Ginsberg (Bader) Most of us eat chicken soup, with a matzoh ball Even 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 Grover It's time for Passover Get in your Land Rover, and come celebrate Passover.

The Ballad of the Five Women (By Burt Jacobson, "She'll Be Comin' Around the Mountain;" from the Kehilla Community Synagogue "A Passover Haggadah") The two midwives wouldn't listen to Pharaoh Wouldn'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!

Egyptians followed behind them. And into the path they go. But no sooner were they in there That God did close down the show. Egyptians were not so lucky They drowned on the water's floor Such wonderful thing did happen What more could we ask God for? Under the sea Under the sea That's where Egyptians Are having conniptions Now we are free. Yes, it's a miracle that this may be You can tell from all the glee We were all saved there That's why you should care ‘Bout the red sea.

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 intentions Of 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.

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 di Those 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.

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.

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.

One More Sederday Night ("One More Saturday Night") Pesach is here everybody's feelin' fine If you don't then you will after four cups of wine We're gathered here tonight to celebrate our liberation Don't worry we'll eat soon you gotta be a little patient Chorus: Sederday night; one more sederday night; one more sederday, one more sederday night hey sederday night Turn on my TV the rebbe comes on the news: "Don't got no seder to go to; That's why I sing the blues" Hey rebbe come on over we got a place here just for you If Elijah shows up later we got a place just for him too Chorus God way up in heaven thought He'd have a little fun Parted the Red Sea for the Jews who were on the run Egyptian soldiers came, What did He do then? He closed back up the waters so Pharaoh's army met its end. Chorus (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 193 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 Seder Like no Seder we know. Everything about it is appealing — Everything Halacha will allow. Don't you know we get a happy feeling When 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!

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.

THE FOUR SONS (By Gary Teblum, "Let's Go Fly a Kite", ) There's a father with sons numbered four He explains the tale and the lore As he tries to relate A story that is great It's what G-d did for me As he made us all free. Oh, Oh, Oh First, there's the son with smarts He understands the part That he plays when we Retell the story. Tell him about the laws Don't give it any pause Oh, that's why he's astute. The wicked one's son number two Asking what this all means to you Himself he excludes You must answer the dude It's what G-d did for me As he made us all free. Oh Oh Oh The simple son he's not so keen He asks what this all means You must tell him plainly That which happened How G-d's mighty hand Took us out of the land So that we might be free. The fourth son may seem somewhat rough Because he does not know enough To ask any question about what we know You must teach him each year Til it's perfectly clear. Oh Oh Oh Passover -- celebrate Remembering our fate G-d did much for us (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 196 When we were in Egypt Freeing us from slavery Now we all can see G-d led us to be free (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 197 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 Pesach Ev'rywhere you go; So get out your pad and pen, ordering once again With 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 see On your own tile floor. A pair of horseradish roots and a few scallion shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Gefilte fish and eggs on a dish Is 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 Pesach Ev'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 hear Meal’s the next big part.

Breaking the Middle Matzah (By Gary Teblum, “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”) You know Kiddush and Candles And parsley and motzi, Bad plagues and questions And maror and hotzi. But do you recall The most famous custom of all? Breaking the middle matzah Into the bag it goes Then when the leader hides it each face of the kinder glows While clearing all the dishes Children laugh and search for same Trying so hard to find it, that’s the afikomen game To our little cousin Josh We did come to say Joshy with your hands so small Won't you reach behind the wall Then Joshy found the matzah And we shouted out with glee Turn in the afikomen For some gelt for you and me.

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.

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 Shem But as for Jewish people, we believe. He'd been telling Moses daily That 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. 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 Shem But 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. 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 Shem But as for Jewish people, we believe Once the Jews were through the Red Sea Moses lowered down his stick. And the waters all receded, Drowning each of Pharaoh’s armies mighty quick.

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 years With 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 Israel And 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 Canaan In Canaan In Canaan……. (c) 5768/2008 Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner, Foundation For Family Education, Inc. 501c3 JEWISH FAMILY EDUCATION PASSOVER HAGGADAH 210 107.

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 plan To capture everyone. Of the Jews on the run, Jews on the run. Well, the night was falling as the desert world Began 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 there We’re not slaves forever more!

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!
