The Matzah That Papa Brought Home by Fran Manushkin




















Setting: Home, Passover
Characters: Little girl, Mama, Papa, Family
Theme: Traditions

Papa brought Matzah home, and Mama made a feast to go with it. They all shared the Passover seder. Then the little girl asked the four questions during the Passover seder sharing. They all dipped their pinkies and talked about the ten plagues. After that, they all sand "Dayenu" while their stomachs growled. After singing, they dipped bitter herbs and sipped Matzah ball soup. Then after searching all over the house, the little girl found the Afikoman. They all opened the door to invite Elijah to sleep inside. Then they all said, "Next Year in Jerusalem," and all went to bed. The Passover moon shined and brought sweet dreams so they could remember all the stories and the Matzahs that were brought home.
