Dayenu (Hebrew: ????????? ?) is a song that is part of Jewish Passover. The word "Dayenu" means roughly "it's enough", "that's enough", or "it will be enough" ( days in Hebrew is "/i> first person suffix plural, "to us"). This up-beat traditional Passover song is over a thousand years old. The initial text of this song appeared in the first century haggadah, which was part of the ninth century Seder Rav Amram. The song is about grateful to God for all the gifts he gives to the Jews, such as removing them from slavery, giving them the Torah and the Sabbath, and if God only gives one of the gifts, that is still enough. This is to show a much greater appreciation for them all as a whole. The song appeared in the haggadah after telling the story of the exodus and just before the Easter, matzah and maror explanation.

Customs related to Dayenu

The Jews in Afghanistan and Iran hit each other with green onions during the repetition starting with the ninth verse (Even if you have fulfilled our needs in the desert for 40 years but did not give us manna). This may be because of a passage in Numbers 11: 5-6, where the Israelites see manna and remember Egypt. "We remember the fish we used to eat in Egypt, cucumbers, melons, spring onions, onions and garlic, and now our throats are wilting, there's nothing, nothing but this manna to see." It is estimated that by beating each other with the onions they taught themselves not to miss Egypt or forget about Egyptian slavery.
