[All pour the third glass of wine.]

 

Leader:

Before the meal, we remind ourselves to be thankful for the food we will eat and wine we will drink. On Passover, this becomes something like an extended toast, culminating with a blessing for our third glass of wine for the evening.

Group:

We are thankful for this bounty of nourishing food. We are thankful for the earth and its sustenance.

Leader:

On this Festival of Matzot, preserve us in life.

Group:

On this Day of Liberation, make us a blessing.

Leader:

On this Festival of Pesah, inspire us to goodness.

Group:

Grant peace to us and to the entire world.

[Raise and hold the third glass of wine.]

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

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

[Take at least one sip of the third glass of wine and consume the rest during dinner. Alternatively, drink the whole glass.]
