Are you leading the seder and want to brush up on the Passover prayers and blessings you will be in charge of reciting? Or, are you attending a seder for the first time and want to have an idea of what Hebrew will be spoken? Below are the most common Passover seder prayers found in the Haggadah, the Jewish text that sets forth the order of the Passover Seder and includes the story of the Israelite slaves journey to freedom. We’ve included the Passover prayers in English and in Hebrew, and also have audio recordings so you can listen to how the prayers are spoken and chanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don’t have to learn all of these Passover seder prayers, especially if you are a guest simply trying to make a good impression. Since the blessing over the wine is guaranteed to be said more than once, I would definitely take a look at that one. Also, Passover prayers #4, #7, #9, and #10 are spoken not chanted, so that should simplify the learning of those blessings a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have simply gone ahead and switched out the final word, Shabbat, with the word for holiday, Yom Tov.<\/p>\n\n\n \u00a0\u05d1\u05b8\u05bc\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05da\u05b0 \u05d0\u05b7\u05ea\u05b7\u05bc\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d9\u05b8 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05d9\u05ea\u05d5\u05bc \u05de\u05b6\u05dc\u05b6\u05da\u05b0 \u05d4\u05b8\u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b8\u05dd, \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05e8 \u05e7\u05b4\u05d3\u05b0\u05bc\u05e9\u05b8\u05c1\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05de\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5, \u05d5\u05b0\u05e6\u05b4\u05d5\u05b8\u05bc\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05d3\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 \u05e0\u05b5\u05e8 \u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05dc \u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d8\u05d5\u05b9\u05d1<\/p>\n\n\n TRANSLITERATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech haolam, asher kid\u2019shanu b\u2019mitzvotav v\u2019tsivanu l\u2019hadlik ner shel Yom Tov. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n TRANSLITERATION<\/strong> #2:<\/strong> BMA STYLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n BAH-rOOch AH-tAH AH-dOH-nEYE EH-LOH-hAY-nOO MEH-LEHch HA-OH-LAHm AH-shEHr KEEd-shAH-nOO BEH-mEEtz-vOH-tAHv VEH-tzEE-vAH-nOO L-hAHd-LEEk NAYr ShEHL YOHm TOHv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TRANSLATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the Universe, who sanctified us with the commandment of lighting the holiday candles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n#1:<\/strong> Lighting the Yom Tov (Holiday) Candles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
