about

Avadim Hayinu – words from the Hagaddah, music by
Shalom Postolski
This is a traditional song from the singing of the Seder, which
goes back and forth between the experience of slavery and the
experience of freedom. I invite the children to move as they
imagine slaves would feel during the lines about slavery, and move
with the joyousness that recently freed people would feel during
the lines about being free.

lyrics

Avadim hayinu, hayinu,
Atah Benei Horin, Benei Horin.
Avadim hayinu, Atah, Atah Benei Horin.
Avadim, Avadim,
Atah, Atah Benei Horin, Benei Horin.
Atah, Atah Benei Horin, Benei Horin.
Once we were slaves, we were slaves.
Now we are free, we are free.
We were slaves, we were slaves,
But now, oh now, we are free.
We were slaves, we were slaves,
Now oh now oh now oh now we are free.
Now oh now oh now oh now we are free.
