Bareich

(Refill everyone’s wine glass.)

We now say grace after the meal, thanking God for the food we’ve eaten. On Passover, this becomes something like an extended toast to God, culminating with drinking our third glass of wine for the evening.

We praise God, Ruler of Everything, whose goodness sustains the world. You are the origin of love and compassion, the source of bread for all. As it says in the Torah: When you have eaten and are satisfied, give praise to your God who has given you this good earth. We praise God for the earth and for its sustenance.

May the source of peace grant peace to us, to the Jewish people, and to the entire world. Amen.

The Third Cup:

Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, borei p'ri hagafen.

Praise to You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of universe, who creates of the fruit of the vine.

(Everyone drinks.)
