about

If only we had just one melody for this prayer-poem expressing gratitude for fifteen levels of goodness in the Jewish story, dayenu- it would have been enough. But now there are two :)

Only two verses are represented in this recording but it works with all of them! And makes a lovely Lecha Dodi tune.

Wishing you a sweet and great-full Pesach!

lyrics

כַּמָּה מַעֲלוֹת טוֹבוֹת לַמָּקוֹם עָלֵינוּ Cama Ma’alot Tovot LaMakom Aleinu

אִלּוּ הוֹצִיאָנוּ מִמִּצְרַיִם Ilu Hotziyanu MiMitzrayim
וְלֹא עָשָׂה בָהֶם שְׁפָטִים V’lo Asa Vahem Sh’fatim
דַּיֵּנוּ Dayenu
אִלּוּ עָשָׂה בָהֶם שְׁפָטִים Ilu Asa Vahem Sh’fatim
וְלֹא עָשָׂה בֵאלֹהֵיהֶם V’lo Asah Ve’eloheihem
דַּיֵּנוּ Dayenu

אִלּוּ נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת Ilu Natan Lanu Et HaShabbat
וְלֹא קֵרְבָנוּ לִפְנֵי הַר סִינַי V’lo Kervanu Lifnei Har Sinai
דַּיֵּנוּ Dayenu
אִלּוּ קֵרְבָנוּ לִפְנֵי הַר סִינַי Ilu Kervanu Lifnei Har Sinai
וְלֹא נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַתּוֹרָה V’lo Natan Lanu Et HaTorah
דַּיֵּנוּ Dayenu

How many levels of goodness did The Place bestow upon us!
If g?d had taken us out of Egypt, but not given them judgment,
Dayenu- it would have been enough.
If g?d had given them judgment, but not their gods, Dayenu

If we had been given Shabbat, but not brought near to Mt Sinai, Dayenu
If we had been brought near to Mt Sinai, but not been given the Torah, Dayenu
