Hebrew, English; Yiddish, Russian
Flatbread matzo served
Cups of grape juice downed
Wine no longer a Passover staple
Matzos round; no more 'squares' around
Come midnight weary, most retire
save the scholars, whose every desire
to debate the fine points of the law
fiery tongues ablaze
~ greet Passover's dawn

Matzos slip into their mouths
Voices project merrily...tonight is
The night of Unleavened Bread
Lamb and other delicious
Meats and veggies... satisfies our taste buds
What a splendid night it is!
Wine's brewin' in our wine cups
The dinner table - creates pleasant talk
During this meaningful night
There's moments of quietude
When it comes to de-leavening our lives
But, there's moments of gladness
On this night of peacefulness
Cheesecake - a delightful treat to savor
During this night of pure bliss
