Lyrics:
Ma nishtana halailah hazeh
מַה נִּשְׁתַּנָּה, הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה
What makes this night different
mikol haleilot?
מִכָּל הַלֵּילוֹת
from all other nights?
Mi Chamocha, nedar bakodesh,
מִי כָּמֹכָה נֶאְדָּר בַּקֹּדֶשׁ
Who is like You, glorious in holiness,
nora t'hilot?
נוֹרָא תְהִלֹּתFe
fearful in praises?
Ma nishtana halailah...
מַה נִּשְׁתַּנָּה, הַלַּיְלָה
What makes this night different...
In the days we prepare for the seder
It seems like we'll never be done
There's more to clean than can ever be cleaned
Grab a candle and search for the crumbs
When the seder table is ready
And all the chametz has been found
Our family arrives, and the sun leaves the sky
At the table, we'll gather around
For the seder tonight
Passover retold
With our prayers of hope
Thanking G-d above
And the seder plate
Helps us tell our story
At the seder
The seder tonight
Now, Pharaoh, you're a mighty king, but I'm telling you, beware
You come into my palace making threats, Moses, you dare?
Your days of making Jews your slaves are done forevermore
And if you challenge G-d, ten plagues will shake you to your core
I'm telling you, you'd best listen to me
Or G-d will bring your kingdom to its knees
It's time to let my people go, you see
'Cause we just can't wait to be free
We're eating the matzah!
For eight nights and days
We're eating the matzah!
So put that bread away
We had to hurry from the land we were slaves
So we're chametz-free, culinarily
I'm eating a matzah
And who doesn't love some good matzah?
What's a matzah?
Nothin'. What's a matzah with you?
We had to hurry from the land we were slaves
So we're chametz-free, culinarily
We're eating the matzah!
And the seder plate
Helps us tell our story
At the seder
The seder tonight

This video touches the soul now more than ever in Pesach 2024! As it says in the Passover Hagada- In each generation, there have been enemies of the Jews that rise up against us to annihilate us, but the Holy One Blessed Be He, always delivers us out of their hands! From Pharaoh, to Haman, Hitler, and Hamas, the Jewish people will never be destroyed! Am Yisrael CHAI!

[@geraldfrost4710]

@@NerdydanDotCom Nothing! What's a matzo with you! The Yiddish word for unleavened flat bread; in this video the big guy broke one over the little guy's head, which is not normally how you beak bread. They come in different flavors: the plain ones are used for temporary tooth cavity filling. The egg and onion ones are okay. The whole grain matzos are best used as roofing shingles. Ye've been warned.
