Chad Gadya "or" Had Gadya (Aramaic: חַד גַדְיָא "chad gadya", "one little goat, or "one kid"; Hebrew: "גדי אחד "gedi echad"") is a playful cumulative song in Aramaic and Hebrew. It is sung at the end of the Passover Seder, the Jewish ritual feast that marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover. The melody may have its roots in Medieval German folk music. It first appeared in a Haggadah printed in Prague in
Alberstein's song "Had Gadya" (a spin-off on a traditional song Chad Gadya, which is sung at the Passover seder) in which she criticizes Israel's policy towards Palestinians, was banned by Israel State Radio. The song was later used in the film "Free Zone" by director Amos Gitai in Natalie Portman's 7-minute crying scene.
Alberstein is also a champion of the Yiddish language both in her recordings and in a video titled "Too Early To Be Quiet, Too Late To Sing",
