Happy Passover!

We celebrate deliverance and religious freedom.  Here is a song usually sung at the yearly Seder meal, our commemoration of the Exodus deliverance.  Dayeinu means "it would have been enough/sufficient" and the song lists a progression of things God did for our ancestors, any one of which was abundant in itself...but as in life, He gave us beyond Enough and compounded His blessings far beyond our comprehension.

Here's an idea of the song..this vid's from youtube and on second glance it looks like the post-er is christian, but the song's the authentic Jewish...you'll get the idea.
