KIDDUSH

Participant:

The seder's four cups of wine carry many meanings. They symbolize the four promises God made to the people of Israel:

“I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. I will deliver you from slavery. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm. I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God." With the first cup we remember God's promise that He will bring His people out from under the cruel oppression of the Egyptians.

All:

Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech ha'olam borei p'ri hagafen.

ALL DRINK THE FIRST CUP OF WINE
