דַּיינו! DAYENU “It Would Have Been Sufficient”
We sing together!
אִלּוּ הוֹצִיאָֽנוּ מִמִּצְרַֽיִם, דַּיֵּנוּ
Ilu hotzi- hotzianu, Hotzianu mi-mitzrayim Hotzianu mi-mitzrayim, Dayeinu
If God had only taken us out of Egypt, that would have been enough!
אִלּוּ נָתַן לָֽנוּ אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה, דַּיֵּנוּ
Ilu natan natan lanu, natan lanu et ha-Torah, Natan lanu et ha-Torah , Dayeinu
If God had only given us the Torah, that would have been enough.
אִלּוּ נָתַן לָֽנוּ אֶת־הַשַבָת, דַּיֵּנוּ
Ilu natan natan lanu et hashabat, natan lanu et hashabat, Dayeinu
If God had only given us the Shabbat, that would have been enough.
The word "karpas" derives from the Greek "karpos" meaning fruit of the soil. Though the historical origins of dipping karpas at the seder simply reflects the accepted cuisine of the Greco-Roman symposium, the rabbis added their own symbolic interpretations in order to connect the dipping to the Peach story.
The dipping of greens is reminiscent of the historic dipping that led Israel into exile in Egypt and the dipping that facilitated their redemption. The descent to Egyptian slavery began when Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery and dipped his coat of many colors into a slaughtered goat's blood in order to mislead their father about his beloved son's true fate. The ascent from exile - moral and physical - began when every family gathered together to share a lamb and to dip in its blood a hyssop plant and to dab it on the doorposts as a protection against the tenth plague.

The meal is served!
The wicked child is perceived as wicked for not identifying himself as a Jew. The wicked child sees themselves as an outsider and has isolated themselves from the Jewish community. The wicked child's behavior is self centered. There is a little bit of wicked child in all of us. All of us are at times self centered.
The right thing to say to the wicked child is "This service means that I am part of the Jewish community and I benefit from the community and the community benefits from my participation. You will grow and benefit from being part of the community. In return you will help others grow"
We all need to take part in our community to help solve the big problems that the Jewish community faces, the nation faces, and the world faces.
The point of the answer to wicked child in our time is not to scold him, but to convince him that taking part in the community benefits him and others.
The blessing over meal and matzah
This blessing marks the formal start of the meal. Because we are using matzah instead of bread, we add a blessing celebrating this mitzvah.
The leader now raises the middle matzah, and everyone recites the prayer
בְָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, הַמּוֹצִיא לֶֽחֶם מִן הָאָֽרֶץ:
Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, hamotzi lechem min ha-aretz.
We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who brings bread from the land.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתַָיו וְצִוָּֽנוּ עַל אֲכִילַת מַצָּה:
Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu al achilat matzah.
We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who made us holy through obligations, commanding us to eat matzah.
Distribute and eat the top and middle matzah for everyone to eat.
