Even though it feels like it’s been roughly 5780 years since Purim, it has been nary a month and it’s somehow, impossibly Pesach time. Folks, this year’s a weird one.
Whether you’re diligently cleaning between all of your window panes as if the 11th plague isn’t taking place outside or unable to even process that it’s Passover at all, this playlist is for you. A generous 43 songs long, it takes us from Kadesh to Nirzah with a little meandering Maggid in the middle for good measure. Clocking in at a cool 2 hours and 45 minutes, this playlist can even pinch-hit for your Passover seder if you want. It’s wild out there, y’all, do whatever it is that feels right. Here’s to a zissen Pesach, a joyous Passover no matter how you celebrate this year.
