The fourth cup represents, “I will take you as a nation”, the time when the Israelites finally reached Israel. For this cup, we consider how far the civil rights movement has left to go. Police brutality, high levels of incarceration and discrimination still plague the US over 50 years after the civil rights movement. The Israelites took 40 years to reach Israel after years of struggle. As we drink this final cup of wine, we hope all the struggle in the past will create for future of peace.
