The Top 10 Passover Songs

  1. Mah Nishtana: Why is this night different from all other nights? That’s what this song asks.
  2. Dayenu: It would have been enough for G-d to have done just a little for Jewish people, we praise G-d for doing a lot more. 
  3. Echad Mi Yodeah: Explains the Jewish significance of the numbers one through thirteen. Fun to try all in one breath! 
  4. Chad Gadya: Describes the “food chain” from a goat, all the way up to G-d. 
  5. Adir Hu: Expresses hope that G-d will build the Temple in Jerusalem again. 
  6. Eliyahu haNavi: See if you can spot the prophet Eliyahu coming in for a glass of wine that you set out for him. 
  7. Avadim Hayinu: We were once slaves to Pharaoh, now we are free! 
  8. Vehi Sheamda: Every generation our enemies try to destroy us, but G-d saves us from their hands. 
  9. Leshana Habaah: Next year in Jerusalem! 
  10. Ha Lachma Anya: Let all who are hungry come share in our Passover meal. 

* Honorable Mention: Kadesh Urchatz (singing the order of the Passover seder), Al Achat, Mimitzraim Ge’altanu, The Frog Song, Let My People Go, Miriam’s Song, The Ballad of the Four Sons
