We've eaten a really big, really tasty meal and finished with the Afikomen, but there are still two glasses of wine left to drink! The third cup is the cup of redemption, and we fill a glass now for Elijah as well. According to Jewish tradition, the prophet Elijah was a brave man who denounced slavery and wickedness, even when it was not safe to speak freely.

We raise this glass to the freedom fighters - to everyone who protests, who questions authority, who demands more than just thoughts and prayers in response to the injustices of the world. This is to them, and to us - may we all be so brave

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן

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