Let us now raise the second cup of wine and pray together:

Dear God, we thank you for this beautiful festival of Pesach. It reminds us of your great gift of freedom to our ancestors and to us. As you have enabled us to reach this day, so may you help us to observe other holy days and festivals in the years ahead, in joy and in peace. We thank you too that this Pesach is celebrated in a free and independent state of Israel and rebuilt Jerusalem.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ree hagafen.

We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who creates the fruit of the vine.

Drink the second glass of wine!
