Miriam’s Cup is a new ritual object that is placed on the seder table beside the Cup of Elijah. Miriam’s Cup is filled with water. It serves as a symbol of Miriam’s Well, which was the source of water for the Israelites in the desert. Putting a Miriam’s Cup on your table is a way of making seder more inclusive and of drawing attention to the importance of Miriam and the other women of the Exodus story.  Miriam’s Cup is a symbol of all that sustains us through our own journeys, while Elijah’s Cup is a symbol of a future Messianic time. This symbolizes the support of notable Jewish (and non-Jewish) women throughout history who's contributions may not always be recognized.
