Kadesh (sanctify over wine)

We begin by sanctifying this time and saying thanks for wine and for this holiday, the festival of matzah. 

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has granted us life and sustenance and permitted us to reach this season.We each now drink a cup of wine or eat one grape. Savor the wine or the grape because unlike our ancestors in Egypt, we now enjoy the liberty to do so.
