Summary
Passover songs are songs from the seder, the festive meal associated with the Jewish festival of Passover.
Songs before the meal include:
The Seder (Kadesh Urchatz): a table of contents of the seder ceremony, naming the 15 sections of the seder.
Kiddush: The Kiddush is traditionally sung to a special melody used only on the .
Ma Nishtana: The Four Questions are traditionally asked by the youngest child at the table who is able.
Avadim Hayinu: A single sentence stating, "We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt—now we are free."
Baruch Hamakom: A song praising God, both in general and for giving the Torah to the Jewish People.
Vehi Sheamda: In every generation arises those who would destroy us, but the holy one saves us from their hands.
Dayenu: It would have been enough for us.
Al Achat: A follow-up to Dayenu saying "How much more so we should be grateful to God" that all of the items of Dayenu were done for us.
B'tzeit Yisrael: "When Israel went forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from barbarous people"
Ma Lecha Hayam: A poetic description of the sea turning back, mountains skipping like rams, the hills like lambs.
Ma Nishtana
"Ma Nishtanah" (the "Four Questions") is the four questions sung at the Passover seder by the youngest child at the table who is able. The questions are asked as part of the haggadah, after the Yachatz (יחץ), as part of the Maggid (מגיד).
Dayenu
"Dayenu" is a Hebrew song, traditionally sung during the celebration of Passover. The word itself essentially means "It would have been enough for us." "Day" is the Hebrew word for "enough" and the suffix "enu" means "our".
The song goes through a series of gifts believed granted by God to the Israelites (such as Torah or Shabbat), proclaiming that any of them alone would have been sufficient, to express greater appreciation for them as a whole.
It is 15 verses long, sequentially recounting each divine intervention in the story of the Exodus. After each divine act, the chorus "(if God had done only this) it would have been enough for us" is sung.
