How is this night different from all other nights? And, technically, if you count the Ma Nishtanah question itself, there are really five questions. Psst: If the transliteration is in parentheses, it means that you repeat the chant for those words. So, the letter MEM in front of KOL (which means everything or all) is actually the preposition “from.” So, MEEkOHL means “from all.” HALEILOT is the plural form of “night”, so “nights.” Learn the Mah Nishtanah Chant: Translation + Transliteration In Hebrew, conjunctions and prepositions can actually be a letter at the beginning of the following word and not always their own individual word. The letter HEY is needed at the beginning of both words for proper Hebrew grammar. NISHTANAH is a verb asking why “it is different” or “it became different?” LILAH in Hebrew means night and ZEH means this. But, if the youngest is too young or feels too much pressure, it is perfectly acceptable for all the kids or even all of the seder participants to chant the 4 questions in Hebrew together. Traditionally, the honor or reciting the four questions is bestowed upon the youngest person at the Passover seder table. Since slaves are not allowed the freedom to question authority or voice independent thought, we say the Four Questions to celebrate that we now have the right to do so. On Passover, we celebrate freedom from slavery. Why Do We Ask The Four Questions on Passover? The four questions can be found in the Haggadah, the text used to tell the Passover story and the Israelites exodus from Egypt. This part of the seder falls after the middle matzah is broken and the afikomen is hidden and before the discussion of the four sons. They typically come at the beginning of the Magid, the telling of the Exodus story. Why is it that on all other nights we eat either sitting or reclining, but on this night we eat in a reclining position?Ĭlick Here to have the four Questions on handy flash cards for your Seder table.Ma Nishtanah? This Post is Different Because We Really Break Down Passover’s Famous Four Questionsįour Questions are recited in Hebrew during the Passover seder. She-be-chol ha-lelot anu ochlin bayn yoshvin u-vayn mseubin, ha-laila ha-zeh kelanu mesubin? Why is it on all other nights we do not dip even once, but on this night we dip twice? She-be-chol ha-lelot en anu matbilin afilu pa’am echat, ha-laila ha-zeh shetay fe’amim? Why is it that on all other nights we eat all kinds of vegetables, but on this night we eat bitter herbs? She-be-chol ha-lelot anu ochlin she-ar yirakoat, ha-laila ha-zeh moror? Why is it that on all other nights during the year we eat either bread or matza, but on this night we eat matza? She-be-chol ha-lelot anu ochlin chametz u-matza, ha-laila ha-zeh kulo matza? Why is this night different from all other nights? Ma nishtana ha-laila ha-zeh mi-kol ha-lelot? Most of the time it is the youngest child present that asks the questions, if no children are at the Seder then anyone can ask.
To help get the children to get involved in the Seder, questions were designed to asked of the leader of the Seder.
