ages. "Had Gadya" is the an-
cient popular song tradi-
tionally sung at the end of the
seder. In the song, a little goat
is eaten by a cat; the cat is bit-
ten by a dog; the dog is beaten
by a stick and so on until the
Holy One comes and gets

ancient Jews, it suggests that
justice is waiting for all those
who hurt others and that
ultimately we are all respon-
sible to God and that the Ho-
ly One triumphs over all evil.
Contains a musical arrange-
ment. The song is presented
in play form — a good idea for
a Sunday school produc-
tion. ❑
Holocaust — in the faces of
older Jews, in empty streets,
and in the music that once
filled the cities. He discovers
a paradox: devastation and a
revival of Jewish identity.
