Almost all Jewish celebrations include wine as a symbol of our joy, but ... Passover is first and foremost about freedom, and some of us only found our freedom when we left wine behind. So we will drink four cups of grape juice instead (it's still fruit of the vine!), to celebrate our freedom and the daily journey that has brought us to this place and this time.  

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

We praise God, Ruler of Everything,
who has kept us alive, raised us up, and brought us to this happy moment.

Drink the first glass of juice!
