Day Day Enu, Day Day Enu, Dayenu, Dayenu! What a lovely song this is to sing on Passover, a song with a written script that puts the Hebrew word Dayenu after every sentence, every idea. How could this sound in song be so incredibly beautiful? And with such a catchy rhythm that encourages all to sing it in tune with you, singing Dayenu after Dayenu, and then again. To sway in your seats and to tap your foot, to hear the others singing and to beautifully blend your voice with theirs, giving great significance to this word Dayenu that we repeat over and over again.
What is the Hebrew meaning of Dayenu? It simply means "To have enough." That is it, such a simple meaning, a meaning that is not hard to comprehend, and when you ingest it internally and make it your lifestyle, you will be the happiest person in the world!
Dayenu is the truest key to happiness of all other advice that you will ever get. It means to be satisfied with what you have, to have enough, and in this way you will never be in a position of want where you may not be fulfilled. Because you will have had enough, not need more, be sated with what you have, not require others to give to you and you be in a position of receiving, to be in glory and perfect harmony with everything you own, so you do not need anything else.
Dayenu, that we sing over and over again with incredible joyousness on our tongue on Passover, is the key to success, and the meaning of the happiness we seek, that we will no longer need to be seeking, it will be found, and we will then be fulfilled.
All we need in life is Dayenu, what we have will then always "be enough."
