The Matzah That Papa Brought Home By: Fran Munishkin

Papa brings home matzah: bread of affliction-unleavened bread. Mama makes a feast with the matzah that papa brought home. The family shares Passover Seder to eat the feast mama made with the matzah papa brought home.Little girl standing and asking the four questions during the Passover seder the family shared to eat the feast mama made with the matzah papa brought home. The four questions: asked by the youngest child at seder first in Hebrew then English:

1: Why on this night do we eat only matzah?

2: Why on this night must we eat bitter herbs?

3: Why on this night do we dip twice?

4: Why on this night do we recline at the table?

They counted all ten plagues by dipping their pinkies again and again then she stood up asked the four questions…etc. The “Dayenu” is the long song that is sand with their stomachs growling after they counted the plagues…etc. There are the bitter herbs that they dip after “Dayenu” that they sang…etc. There is the matzah ball soup that they sipped after they dipped the bitter herbs…etc. There is the Afikoman she found by searching the house and running around after the matzah ball soup they sipped…etc. Afikoman: Piece of matzah that is hidden at the start of the Seder. There is the door they opened wide inviting Elijah to step inside, after the afikoman was found…etc. Finally, “next year in Jerusalem” they said then everyone hugged and went to bed after the door was opened inviting Elijah in, after the afikoman was found, after the matzah ball soup was sipped, after the herbs were dipped, and the “Dayenu” song was sang, after the plagues were counted by dipping their pinkies, after she asked the four questions, during the Passover Seder, to eat the feast mama made, with the matzah that papa brought home.
