Kiddush

The promise we make for our second glass of wine is this: I will find a safe place to live and thrive. 

If our families of origin do not accept us. If our loved ones do not act towards us in a loving manner. If we fear to express ourselves, or to use the words that best explain our identities. We promise to look for safety. We promise to try and find a home where we can be ourselves, where we can flower and grow, where we can become the person that we are meant to be.

We read together:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן

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

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

Drink the second glass of wine!
