Breaking the Middle Matzah
By Gary Teblum, sung to the tune of “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 hids it
Face of each 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
