Dayenu

DAYENU!

The plagues and subsequent redemption are but one example of the might and protection of God. As we tell this story of triumph, we sing the words of Dayeinu (“It would have been enough”), for just a single act of love from God would have sufficed, and yet God continues to show us compassion.

אִלּוּ הוֹצִיאָֽנוּ מִמִצְַרֽיִם, דַיֵנוּ:

Ilu hotzianu mi-mitzrayim, Dayeinu

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

אִלּוּ נָתַן לָֽנוּ אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה, דַיֵנוּ:

Ilu natan lanu et ha-Torah, Dayeinu

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