B’chol dor vador chayav adam lirot et-atzmo, k’ilu hu yatzav mimitzrayim.

In every generation, everyone is obligated to see themselves as though they personally left Egypt.

The Torah says, “God brought us out from there in order to lead us to and give us the land promised to our ancestors.” This is interpreted to mean that God not only redeemed our ancestors; God redeemed us, too. According to tradition, we express gratitude for this redemption and for reaching this night on which we celebrate our liberation. May we continue to reach future holidays in peace and happiness.

As we drink the second cup, may we also reflect on those who did not reach this night and who are not here to experience this journey to freedom with us.

            We recite the following blessing together:

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, bo-rei pe-ri ha-gafen.

We acknowledge the Unity of All, and we express gratitude for the fruit of the vine.
