Chag Sameach! Here's a little parody song for your Passover Seder!
Bob Dylan🤝🏻Pesach
The Charoset’s The Best Part of Seder
(to the tune of “The Times They Are A-Changin’”)
Come gather ’round the table, from wherever you schlep
If you’re wondering when’s dinner, sorry not yet
At least you’ll dip in salt water that’s wet
But I know what you’re cravin’
Reminds you of mortar you made with your sweat
The charoset’s the best part of seder
The recipe changes from land to land
Us ashkenazim we like our food bland
Apples, nuts, wine and cinnamon
The consistency is like concrete pavin’
It’s not at Kosher Jewel, it’s made by hand
The charoset’s the best part of seder
Come chefs and food bloggers, please heed the call
The food at our table are all symbols
Carpas, for springtime, maror makes us bawl
The Matzah our freedom’s constipatin’
You don’t even need to wear a prayer shawl
The charoset’s the best part of seder
It’s called a Hillel sandwich, but that ain't quite right.
What Hillel invented on this seder night,
An open-faced bitter and sweet delight
The Earl of Sandwich a thousand-years later.
A historical anachronism I’m ready to fight
The charoset is the best part of seder.
Come plagues and come Pharaohs, just step aside
We’ve got mortar and memory, mashed and supplied
The sweetness is mixed with the tears we cried
For this story, our dinner’s worth waitin’
This ain’t just a condiment, let’s eat it with pride
The charoset’s the best part of seder
