The medieval poem “Dayenu” is one of the most well-known beloved parts of the Passover Seder. As we prepare for Passover, we’ll discuss the origins of this unusual piyyut and we’ll explore its crucial placement as the culmination of the storytelling part of the Seder. And we’ll ask: What does this song mean—and how can we believe the plain sense of its words?
