RON AND LUPITA 


Let us all refill our cups and raise your glass.

This is the cup of hope.

The seder tradition involves pouring a cup for the Hebrew prophet Elijah. Jews open the door for him, inviting him join their seders, hoping that he would bring with him a messiah to save the world.

Yet the tasks of saving the world - once ascribed to prophets, messiahs and gods - must be taken up by us mere mortals, by common people with shared goals. Let us now symbolically open the door of our seder to invite in all people of good will and raise our fourth cup as we dedicate ourselves to Tikkun Olam, the improvement of the world.

All drink the fourth cup.
