Now we say the Kiddush, the blessing over the wine or grape juice.

The cup of wine reminds us that Passover is a time of joy.

The wine also reminds us of the sweetness of freedom.

We raise our cups and say together:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן

Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam borei p'ri hagafen.

Blessed are you, Lord our God, Ruler of the Universe, who brings forth fruit of the vine.

Drink the wine or juice.
