We now drink the last cup. This is the cup of community.

This cup is for you and the ones you love, for all the living things that make life easier and more enjoyable, for all the spirits that we see and all those we do not. With this cup we remember that the hardships we live in now will pass and that the world will change around us. We remember that the winter has passed and we can begin to enjoy the spring, but that the winter will come again.

You may choose not to recite:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ree hagafen.

We praise Elohim, Ruler of Everything, who creates the fruit of the vine.

 

Hail to the communities that hold us up and those we help hold together!
