Traditionally, the Passover seder concludes with the singing of Ḥad Gadya. The great Israeli poet and playwright Nathan Alterman made the titular animal, “a kid that Father bought for two zuz,” the subject of poem, newly translated into English by Dan Ben-Amos. It begins thus:
He stood in the market
Among rams and some goats,
Waving his tail, pinky long.
A kid from the poor house,
A kid for two pence
No makeup, not a bell, nothing at all.
No one paid any attention,
Because no one knew,
Not the goldsmiths, the weavers,
Not even you,
That this little kid,
In the Haggadah will be for long
The hero of a popular song.
