One of the most popular songs of Seder during the Jewish Passover is Dayenu: "That would have been enough".
Its 15 stanzas list 15 examples of God's goodness in leading the Chosen People out of slavery in Egypt, in the miracles which allowed them to reach the Promised Land, and the five moments whichGod continues to shower goodness on the Jewish people today.
In each case, each stanza is followed by the chorus of Dayenu, reminding all that if God had stopped at that one goodness alone, "that would have been enough".

Passover begins today.
