What Is the Source of "Chad Gadya"?
Question
What is the source of the song "Chad Gadya"? I’ve seen people write that it originated as a German ballad, a children’s song, etc. On the other hand, some write that it contains deep secrets and that its sources are rooted in the holiest traditions.
Answer
I have no idea about its source. As for exalted secrets—I’m very doubtful.
