Blessing over fruit from trees

Keep one orange on the Seder plate, and pass out orange slices. As we hold the fruit in our hands, shout out marginalized and invisibilized folks that we want to recognize and fully welcome in to the circle of the loving community we are creating.

All say the Blessing over Fruit from Trees! 

ברוך אתה ה' א‑לוהינו, מלך העולם, בורא פרי העץ

(Ashkenazi pronunciation, masc.) Baruch atah Adonai, eloheinu Melech ha’olam boreh p’ri ha-eitz

(Ashkenazi pronunciation, fem.) Brucha Yah Shechinah, eloheinu Malkat ha’olam, borayt p’ri ha-eitz

Blessed are You, Hashem, whose spirit fills all creation and brings forth fruit from the trees
