Hagomel

Hagomel is a traditional Jewish prayer recited during the Passover Seder, a ritual meal that commemorates the Exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The term "Hagomel" is derived from the Hebrew words "hag" meaning "festival" and "omel" meaning "to sing," reflecting its celebratory nature. The prayer is recited after the recitation of the Four Questions and the Maggid, and before the recitation of the Afikoman.

The Hagomel prayer is a joyous and celebratory hymn that expresses gratitude for the redemption from bondage and the establishment of the Jewish people as a nation. It is often accompanied by the singing of the song "Dayenu" which translates to "It would have been enough," emphasizing the sufficiency of God's provision. The prayer is typically recited by the youngest child present at the Seder, although this is not always the case.

The Hagomel prayer is a significant part of the Passover Seder, and its recitation is a reminder of the Jewish people's history and their ongoing connection to God. It is a time for reflection, gratitude, and celebration, and is an important part of the Jewish tradition.
