CHABAD
This site features more 
than 15 Passover songs 
with streamable audio (plus 
links directing you to places 
where you can purchase the 
songs) and printable song 
sheets/lyrics in Hebrew, 
English and translitera-
tion. One unique offering 
is “Mah Nishtanah” (The 
Four Questions) in Yiddish.

YOUTUBE
If you know what song 
you’re looking for and just 
want to listen to the melody, 
this is a great resource to 

search. You can also do a 
search for “Passover Songs” 
and browse the results. 
Videos vary dramatically 
in quality, of course — but 
a number of them include 
lyrics and transliteration, 
sometimes presented kara-
oke style. In addition to 
traditional songs, here you’ll 
find a wide range of mod-
ern parody songs, including 
myriad versions of “Let It 
Go” (generally changed to 
“Let Us Go”). 

JEWISHMUSIC.COM
You can pay to download 
PDF versions of numerous 
songs here — most cost 
around $3.95 and include 
sheet music so you can play 
along on an instrument.
Another option if you 
want the notes, as well as the 
lyrics, is to purchase a book 
on Amazon.com or at your 
local Judaica store or book-
store. 

doesn’t count. What’s “inedi-
ble”? If a dog wouldn’t eat it, 
you probably wouldn’t either.

THROW YOUR HAMETZ 
IN A CARDBOARD BOX 
OR JUST TAPE UP THE 
CABINET
Once you sell your leaven 
products, they no longer 
belong to you. The only other 
requirement is that you should 
not see them. So, grab a card-
board box, a sheet or some 
masking tape and hide those 
cookies that now technically 
belongs to someone else from 
view. Done and done.

NULLIFICATION IS 
YOUR FRIEND
On the night before the first 
seder, it is traditional to hide a 
few last crumbs of bread and 
then search for them by can-
dlelight. The following morn-
ing, these are burned (biur) 

and then a blessing is recited 
that renders any unseen leaven 
no longer hametz (bittul):
All hametz that is in my 
possession, which I have neither 
seen nor removed, and of which 
I am unaware, is nullified and 
ownerless like the dust of the 
Earth.
Our sages understood that 
it is pretty much impossible 
to get everything. In fact, 
the Talmud implies that 
sometimes a person would 
accidentally forget about a 
cake in their cupboard on 
Passover! So, do your best, 
say this blessing and relax. 
Whatever you missed (and 
you surely missed something 
— everyone does!) has 
symbolically turned to dust.
Passover is the festival of 
freedom. If you can’t enjoy the 
cleaning, at least don’t let it 
enslave you.
