Passover music and other
content. Search the site’s clip
library for songs and other
content. You can search by
media type (i.e. text, audio
or video) and also by section
of the seder.

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.

dia/media_cdo/aid/255527/
jewish/Passover-Songs.htm)

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.
