Passover 5769

Four sons
Four questions
Answers that aren’t satisfying
Dayeinu?
Four dead friends
A God who can't stop cancer
Who let my friend die from a muggers bullet
Who left me with four big holes in my heart
And tear ducts that aren’t given a chance to shut
Dayeinu?
My teacher says that “the Haggadah is the product of a people hungry for God’s active intervention in history, yet compelled to focus this hunger not on their own experiences but on the vivid memory of past biblical events.”
Dayeinu?
I just want my friends back
