We start the Sedar by saying the blessing over the wine. The cup of wine stands for the sweetness of life and the joy we feel when we are together. We say, "Thank you God, for the grapes that grow to make wine for our holiday celebration."

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָפֶן.

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

Praised are you, Adonai, Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, who has created the fruit of the vine.
