If you desire to obtain music tapes for your Passover Seder, there are many excellent music tapes, and accompaniment tapes available from several sources. In addition, if you desire to learn the Hebraic dances, you may also obtain instructional dance videos for congregational dancing. HaY'Did Ministries does provide speakers and dance teachers if you will notify us well ahead of the Passover season. A simple dance that is easy to learn is THE HORA. The HORA is a Jewish circle dance. For example, a famous Jewish song, HAVA NAGILA, may be danced with a HORA. If you would like to purchase taped music for your Seder Songs or if you would like to know places where you can obtain music tapes, please call the HaY'Did Ministry office. Our phone number is : (316) 331-7712.

There are many other dances and songs that enrich the Passover Seder experience. If you are sitting at a table when singing the Passover Seder songs, table pounding is acceptable to keep the beat of the song, and to involve everyone in the dinner's festivities. Let us come to His table with rejoicing! Let us celebrate Yeshua as haMashiach! Let us return to our rich heritage of knowing Him on this night as He truly was! Our Messiah!
