At every Passover seder, we say a prayer called "Dayenu." Dayenu is a Hebrew word that means roughly "It would have been sufficient." or "It would have been enough." The prayer is a series of statements recounting how God helped the Israelites escape slavery in Egypt and reach the promised land of Israel. Each statement follows the pattern of "If God had done this for us but not that, it would have been sufficient."
This is a dieter's Dayenu.
