LETS BENCH!

Uvtuvo hagadol, tamid lo chasar lanu, v'al yachsar lanu mazon l'olam va'ed. Ba'avur shemo hagadol, ki hu el zan um'farnes lakol,umeitiv lakol, u'mechin mazon, l'chol briyotav asher bara. Baruch atah, Adonai, hazan et hakol!

The blessing over the meal is immediately followed by another blessing over the wine:

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.

This year whilst drinking the third cup of wine I want you to think about those women in the world who are not able to enjoy freedom and are bound by patriarchal society, including lack of equal opportunities and fair pay in the work place.
