The Had Gadya, a charming ten verse Aramaic song based on a German ballad, is sung at the end of the Passover seder. This song has been interpreted in various ways, both textually and visually. The verses describe a young goat, recently purchased by a father (made personal to each individual singer by the pronoun "my" father).
Generally considered an allegory for the oppression and persecution of the Jewish people, the various villains in Jewish history have been compared to aggressor nations.
