Group sings:

Barukh ata adonai, eloheinu melekh ha-olam, borei p'ri hagafen.

Blessed is the force that created the fruit of the vine.

Barukh ata adonai, eloheinu melekh ha-olam,shehecheyanu v'kiyimanu v'higi'anu laz'man hazeh.

Blessed is the force that has sustained us and brought us to enjoy this season.

Let us raise our cups to signify our gratitude for this feast of the unleavened bread, a time for remembering our departure from Egypt and the value of freedom.

[Drink the first cup of wine.]
