Dayeinu reminds that each of our lives is the cumulative result of many blessings, small and large.

In the song we also remember that besides escaping slavery from Egypt, the Jews have survived many, many times against all odds!

As Jews from the former Soviet Union, we are no strangers to resilience. Just talk to anyone of our grandparents' generation!

Verse 1

Ilu hotzi- hotzianu, Hotzianu mi-mitzrayim Hotzianu mi-mitzrayim, Dayeinu

(If God had only taken us out of Egypt, that would have been enough !)

Day, day, -einu, day, day, -einu, Day, day, -einu, Dayeinu Dayeinu (Dayeinu!)

Day, day, -einu, day, day, -einu, Day, day, -einu, Dayeinu Dayeinu!

(That would have been enough!)

Ilu natan natan lanu, natan lanu et ha-Torah, Natan lanu et ha-Torah , Dayeinu

(If God had only given us the Torah, that would have been enough )

Day, day, -einu, day, day, -einu, Day, day, -einu, Dayeinu Dayeinu (Dayeinu!)

Day, day, -einu, day, day, -einu, Day, day, -einu, Dayeinu Dayeinu!

(That would have been enough!)
