#BlackLivesMatter Haggadah (2015) Traditional Haggadah #BlackLivesMatter Haggadah “How thankful must we be to God, the All-Present, for all the good He did for us. Had He brought us out from Egypt, and had not executed judgment against them Dayenu, It would have been enough! Had He executed judgment against them, and not done justice to their idols Dayenu, It would have been enough! …How much more so do we have to be thankful for the manifold and unbounded blessings of the All-Present God.” “Singing Dayenu is a 1000-year-old Passover tradition. The 15-stanza poem thanks God for 15 blessings bestowed upon the Jews in the Exodus... [This] reworking of the poem addresses us, rather than G-d. It calls us to greater action for justice, saying ‘lo dayenu’ (it would not have been enough) in recognition of the work still unfinished… If we had remembered that we are all created in G-d’s image and not affirmed Black Lives Matter —Lo Dayenu [it would not have been enough!]” DAYENU “it would have been enough” Dayenu is a song that is part of the Passover Seder. The song gives thanks to God for God’s many gifts to the Jewish people.
