On Tuesday night I presented a class for kids at the Young Israel of Hollywood, entitled "Making your Seder MEMORABLE." There were about 25 kids there, along with their parents and/or grandparents.
Technically savvy participant Jon Garber had the foresight to take pictures of some of the more expressive moments.
The kids had a great time. I had a great time. And we even ended up singing the song that was parodied here (video after the photos).

Let Us Go
ReplyDelete---------------------------------
The moon shines bright for my people tonight
For yours, it cannot be seen
Your kingdom of subjugation
Was so callous and so mean
We'll leave our signal while the plague unfolds outside
You've been warned enough. Heaven knows I tried.
You won't give in, won't let us free
Still the wicked Pharoah you must be
Your heart of steel, is cold as snow...
But even so......
Let us go, Let us go
You can't hold us here anymore
Let us go, Let us go
Now it's time to show us the door
There's no point for a longer stay
Now your son is gone
Destruction is all around, anyway.........
Our Holy Land in the distance
is seemingly so small
And the fear by which you bound us
Can't hold us, not at all.
So let us free, so we can do
G-d's service as He asked us to
So do what's right for them and me
We're free....
Let us go, Let us go
Now you know the reason why
Let us go, Let us go
Why should more Egyptians die?
Understand, we're on our way
While your storm goes on......
My people passes through the sea on drier ground
Your men are spiraling in mighty currents all around
And from above you watch and now you are the last
We're never going back. The past is in the past
Let us go, Let us go
Here comes the early dawn
Let us go, Let us go
Your empire now is gone
Here we stand at the break of day
"G-d forever reigns"
But you never listened, anyway......
