The phrase “Ma Nishtana” is actually the first two words of a question in Hebrew that is traditionally asked during the Passover Seder. It translates to “Why is this night different?” or “Why is tonight different from all other nights?” The question is part of the Passover Haggadah, a text that recounts the story of the Jewish Exodus from Egypt.
These questions serve as a catalyst for recounting the story of the Jewish people’s liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt, as told in the Book of Exodus. The Passover Seder is a time for families and friends to gather, retell the story, and partake in symbolic foods and rituals associated with the holiday.
“Ma Nishtana” represents the curiosity and engagement of the youngest participant, prompting a deeper exploration of the significance and meaning behind the Passover traditions. It sets the stage for the retelling of the Exodus story and the celebration of freedom.
“Ma Nishtana” is also part of the stories and lyrics from Had Gadya (Chava Alberstein version) which is the main inspiration.
“Had Gadya” is a traditional Aramaic or Hebrew song that is sung at the end of the Passover Seder, a Jewish ritual meal. The song tells a whimsical and allegorical story, often interpreted as a moral or religious parable. The title “Had Gadya” translates to “One Kid” or “One Little Goat.” The song follows a repetitive structure, with each verse building upon the previous one. It narrates a sequence of events involving various characters and animals, culminating in the message or lesson of the song. The specific details of the song may vary in different versions and interpretations.
Our “Ma Nishtana” is built around incense, spices, smoke, and sacred woods to represent sacred incense and evoke a Middle Eastern vibe, it could be a way to create an atmosphere reminiscent of the traditions and cultural elements associated with Passover and the Middle East. The scent of incense and sacred woods, such as frankincense and myrrh, can transport one’s mind to ancient times and sacred spaces. Combining these scents with the use of smoke, which can add an ethereal and mystical ambience, can further enhance the overall experience.
