The third cup of wine represents, “I will redeem you”, the moment of the splitting of the Red Sea. In this moment, Moses took control and led his people in a march for freedom. For this cup, we think of Martin Luther King Jr and Bayard Rustin. Rustin was the organizer of the March on Washington where King spoke, and the two founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference together as well. Just as Moses led the Israelites from Egypt. Rustin and King led the world away from segregation and hatred towards a world of love and peace.
