about

A Passover Ska Song that teaches about the symbols on the seder plate!

Great for kids and families!

lyrics

Symbols symbols symbols on the seder plate
Symbols symbols symbols do I see
Symbols symbols symbols on the seder plate
Tell the story of our freedom
So we remember where we come from

Karpas, parsley, green like the spring
Green like the promise that new life brings
Salt water, like the tears, we shed when we were slaves
We dip our parsley into them to remember… the pain
Symbols…

Maror, bitter herbs, stings like burning sun
Stings like working for weeks and having no fun
Charoset, a sweet apple paste, to remind us the mortar
And the weight of the stones as we carried them on our shoulders (They were so heavy!) Symbols…

Baytzah, egg, the beginning of life
That takes us round and round, spiraling
Zeroah, a bone, what’s left when life is all done,
It reminds us of the sacrifices we’ve made… to be free! Symbols…

But don’t forget about the orange
For the sweetness in our diversity
For all the ways we look and love differently
Oh the orange is for equality
The orange is for equality
Symbols…
