Praises and Blessings

We now give thanks to God, for his love of us, and for watching over the Jewish people. We know that at this time anti-Semitism is rising in different parts of the world, and we have faith that you will ensure the safety of the Jewish people. We also know that many of these people cannot celebrate Passover tonight, and we observe Passover in their name. May we be worthy of your blessings and your love, and your deliverance from slavery to freedom.

Say together:

 

Hodu LAdo-nai Ki Tov Ki Le-olam Has-do

הוֹדוּ לַ אַדוֹ-נַי כִּי-טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ.

Chad Gadya--One Little Goat

Chad gadya, Chad gadya.
My father bought for two zuzim.
Chad gadya, Chad gadya.

Then came the cat and ate the goat,
My father bought for two zuzim.
Chad gadya, Chad gadya.

Then came the dog and bit the cat,
that ate the goat,
My father bought for two zuzim.
Chad gadya, Chad gadya.

Then came the stick and beat the dog,
that bit the cat that ate the goat,
My father bought for two zuzim.
Chad gadya, Chad gadya.

Then came the fire and burned the stick,
that beat the dog that bit the cat,
that ate the goat,
My father bought for two zuzim.
Chad gadya, Chad gadya.

Then came the water and quenched the fire,
that burned the stick that beat the dog,
that bit the cat that ate the goat,
My father bought for two zuzim.
Chad gadya, Chad gadya.

Then came the ox and drank the water,
that quenched the fire that burned the stick,
that beat the dog that bit the cat,
that ate the goat,
My father bought for two zuzim.
Chad gadya, Chad gadya.

Then came the butcher and slew the ox,
that drank the water that quenched the fire,
that burned the stick that beat the dog,
that bit the cat that ate the goat,
My father bought for two zuzim.
Chad gadya, Chad gadya.

Then came the angel of death,
and killed the butcher that slew the ox,
that drank the water that quenched the fire,
that burned the stick that beat the dog,
that bit the cat that ate the goat,
My father bought for two zuzim.
Chad gadya, Chad gadya.

Then came the Holy One, blessed be He!
And destroyed the Angel of death,
that killed the butcher that slew the ox,
that drank the water that quenched the fire,
that burned the stick that beat the dog,
that bit the cat that ate the goat,
My father bought for two zuzim.
Chad gadya, had gadya.
