“The Order” performed by Shabbat Unplugged on A Night of Questions. * This song helps all participants remember where we are in the seder. In some families, the song is sung at the beginning of each section only up until that section is mentioned. For example, at Kadesh, sing “Kadesh!” At Urchatz, sing “Kadesh, urchatz!” In this way, the song only gets completed at the end of the seder.
