As we light the candles and welcome the glow of Passover into our homes, we pray that all those suffering around the world find light in the darkness.  We pray that our experience tonight helps us to ignite the spark of justice within each of us.  We pray that we have the strength to carry forth this light into the world, creating a beautiful and bold flame that inspires others to work by our sides to pursue freedom and justice for all people.

.בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ לְהַדְלִיק נֵר שֶׁל יוֹם טוֹב

Barukh Atah Adonay Eloheynu Melekh ha-Olam asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu l'hadlik neyr shel Yom Tov.                                Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the Universe, who commands us to light these Holiday candles.

All who are in need, let them come celebrate Passover with us. Now we are here. Next year in the land of Israel.
