One of the fundamental concepts of Torah, that is especially elucidated in Chabad Chassidus is that the Yomim Tovim are not simply “commemorations” of past events. Rather, they offer an opportunity to relive the experience and the special Divine energy of the original day.
On Pesach, while we celebrate the deliverance of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt, we are also celebrating our own freedom from the constraints of our lives today.
“Matza Zu” by singer-songwriter-shliach Yoey Muchnik captures this profound concept in a fun, upbeat song. “What happened then, happens again….it’s happening to you!”
Every listen reveals more hidden gems and more evidence of Yoey’s trademark humor.
From the catchy cover art featuring Yoey “leaning to the left,” to the top notch talent on the accompaniment and production end, this is a song not to be passed over.

Lyrics:
It’s Seder night
Candles burning bright
Goblets full of wine
Cuz it’s freedom time
Shmura Matzah eat
Afikomon treat
The Haggadahs are out
What’s this really all about
Lirois Ulehargish
Keiloo Ata
Ata BeAtsmecha
Yatzatza Mimitzrain
Chorus:
Cuz’ What happened then
Happens again
It’s happening to you
What happened then
Happens again
It’s happening to you
Matza Zu, Matza Zu
Verse 2:
So don’t just read the book
Take another look
Apply it to your life
rise up tonight
Egypt we left behind
Onto Har Sinai
Committed to HaShem
No slavery again
