Pesach Seder

P Pass over, O God of Israel, the houses of Israel on this night E Egypt, unsuspecting even at midnight of what was to come S Smite, God of Israel, every firstborn Egyptian male A Anguished Cries from every Egyptian household C Children of Israel hurriedly exit the land H Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, God! S Spill ten drops of wine, symbolic of the ten plagues which struck Egypt E Eat matso* and maror** to recall 210 bitter years of slavery there D Dayenu***-- It would have sufficed us to have merely left Egypt E Elaborate in the telling the story of our going forth from Egypt R Recline at the table, in the manner of free people, noblemen Wishing one and all a Happy Passover / Easter Season! __________________________________________________________ * Matso is poor bread: thin, cracker-like, tasteless ** Maror is bitter herb: Horseradish root or even romaine lettuce stalks *** Dayenu, it would have sufficed us, even had we not crossed the Red Sea...had we not traveled to the foot of Mt. Sinai,...had we not received the Tablets of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai,...had we not eventually come to and conquered the Land of Israel
