And I am beginning to enjoy Chad Gadya which is usually sung at the very end of the Seder...
Last night we were up till 2:30AM talking about our exit from bondage in Mitrayim. It is a mitzvah to talk about it till the early hours...
Chad Gadya (Folk Song)
Chad gadya (2x)
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya (2x).
Then came the cat
And ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya (2x).
Then came the dog
And bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya (2x).
Then came the stick
And beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya (2x).
Then came the fire
That burned the stick
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya (2x).
Then came the water
That quenched the fire
That burned the stick
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya (2x).
Then came the ox
That drank the water
That quenched the fire
That burned the stick
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya (2x).
Then came the butcher
That slew the ox
That drank the water
That quenched the fire
That burned the stick
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim.
Chad gadya (2x).
Then came the Angel of Death
And killed the butcher
That slew the ox
That drank the water
That quenched the fire
That burned the stick
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya (2x).
Then came the Holy One
Blessed be G-d
And destroyed the Angel of Death
That killed the butcher
That slew the ox
That drank the water
That quenched the fire
That burned the sticks
That beat the dog
That bit the cat
That ate the kid
My father bought for two zuzim
Chad gadya (2x).

From the Pesach Haggadah:
It happened that Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Yehoshua, Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah, Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Tarphon were reclining [at a seder] in B'nei Berak. They were discussing the exodus from Egypt all that night, until their students came and told them: "Our Masters! The time has come for reciting the morning Shema!"
Rabbi Eleazar ben Azaryah said: "I am like a man of seventy years old, yet I did not succeed in proving that the exodus from Egypt must be mentioned at night-until Ben Zoma explained it: "It is said, `That you may remember the day you left Egypt all the days of your life;' now `the days of your life' refers to the days, [and the additional word] `all' indicates the inclusion of the nights!"
The sages, however, said: "`The days of your life' refers to the present-day world; and `all' indicates the inclusion of the days of Mashiach."

An interesting bit of information about that previous quote... Rabbi Elazar Ben Azayah said he was LIKE a man who was 70 years old.... But was he really a 70 year old man?
NO, our tradition is this:
http://www.sichosinenglish.org/cgi-bin/calendar?holiday=pesach109
"Rabbi Elazar Ben Azaria said: I am like a man of 70 years old"
Question:
Why did Rabbi Elazar Ben Azaria say, "I am like 70 years old?"
Answer:
Once there was a dispute over a halachik issue between the Rabbonim and the Nosi, Rabban Gamliel (Brochos). The Rabbis were upset with the way Rabban Gamliel handled matters and decided to demote him and make Rabbi Elazar Ben Azaria the Nosi. Rabbi Elazar Ben Azaria was hesitant to accept the position because he was only 18 years old, and his beard was black. Overnight, a miracle happened and his beard became filled with streaks of white hair. Therefore, he said, "I am like a man of 70 years old."
Some say his neshoma was a reincarnation of the neshoma of Shmuel HaNovi. Being that Shmuel lived only 52 years, and Rabbi Elazar Ben Azaria was now 18 years old, therefore, he said, "I am like a man of 70 years old."

Do we really mean it when we say 'Lashana Haba Beyrushalem'?
Unfortunately I did have an experience this year when the lady next to me said 'Next year in Vaccavile' and I just grimaced inside...

I didn't realize this video existed... One of my questions to the Chabad Rabbi I spent Pesach with was whether he had every personally experienced a Seder with the Lubavitch Rebbe. My Rabbi is young and therefore he himself did not have a Passover with the Rebbe, but his father did have...
Interesting.... My Rabbi told me about waiting in line to get pieces of Matzah which the Rebbe would hand out at the Chabad office...
I wonder what happened to parts 3 & 4?
