(Charon)

As we read the 10 plagues, we spill drops of wine from our cups, mourning the suffering the Egyptians endured so that we could be free. In this way, we diminish our joy even as we celebrate our salvation.This year, as these drops spread across our plates, let us turn our hearts toward the millions of people around the world suffering today’s plagues.

The Frog Song

One morning when Pharaoh awoke in his bed/There were frogs on his bed and frogs on his head/Frogs on his nose and frogs on his toe

Frogs here!

Frogs there!

Frogs just jumping everywhere!
