Thread Name: Songs for Seders
Subject: RE: Songs for Seders
My most memorable Seder was held in Leningrad under the communist regime. It was sort of secret, and the KGB were patrolling outside. The US assistant consul happened to be Jewish and was a guest at the seder,so the KGB couldn't do much to bother us . We sang Go Down Moses- in Hebrew and English- as well as many other Pesach songs- both traditional and modern- taken from the kibutz seder service. Especially poignant was "Next year in Jerusalem" although it took a few more years before that prayer became a reality. Pesach -Passover is the festival of Freedom , and may God in His wisdom grant freedom to all people- and grant us the wisdom to implement His will. Chag Sameach- Happy Passover to you all.
