The struggle for freedom is continuous; in every age, some new freedom is won and established, adding to the advancement of human happiness and security. Yet each age also uncovers a formerly unrecognized servitude, requiring new liberation to set humanity free.

In every age, lthe concept of freedom grows broader, widening the horizons for finer and nobler living. Each generation is duty-bound to contribute to this growth, lest humanity's ideals become stagnant and stationary.

The events in Egypt were but the beginning of a force in history which will forever continue. In this spirit, we see ourselves as participants in the Exodus, for we must dedicate our energies to the cause there begun.

As inheritors of the priceless heritage of liberty, we join now in praising and glorifying God's Holy Name. In gratitude for our manifold blessings, we shall bless this Cup of Deliverance.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָפֶן

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha’olam, borei p'ri hagafen.

Praised are you, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who has created the fruit of the vine.
