Kadesh - First Cup of Wine

*WINE TIME! Fill the cup of the person sitting next to you*

Reader 1: Next, we say the Kadesh, the blessing of the wine. Thousands of years ago, according to legend, the Jewish people were slaves in Egypt. They fought for their freedom, and now we continue the fight to free all people. The cup of wine stands for the sweetness of life and the joy we feel when we are together. We raise our glasses in gratitude for the freedom we live each and every day.

Everyone: "Baruch ata Adonai elohenu melech haolam borey p’ri hagafen"
