| − | The '''Had Gadya''' is a [[song]] sung at the [[Passover]] [[Passover Seder|Seder]] or meal. The language is [[Aramaic]] as are other parts of the mainly [[Hebrew]] ceremony. It is sung in most cases boisterously, with much enthusiasm and happiness that emanate from the [[children]] as well as the adults. The melody is lifting, repetitious and making it easy to learn and sing, and builds to a crescendo of exaltation. This has much to do with its [[theme]] which seems to bring home the message that though so much seems to be unjust and have gone wrong and against us, it has happened thus only to show who He is, and He, our [[God]], will have the last word. He will have the final say. It demonstrates the ''indirect'' inculcations of [[moral]] lessons (more "caught" or imbibed than taught) - in this case, that beyond the injustices of this life, which we shall surely experience as we live, there is a moral fabric behind which a personal and caring and exacting God will one day act. | + | The '''Had Gadya''' is a [[song]] sung at the [[Passover]] [[Passover Seder|Seder]] or meal.
