Now our seder has ended. We have told the story of how the Jews were freed from Egypt and reflected on the people in our world who still are not free today. We tell this story so that we remember our history and never give up fighting for freedom for all people.

According to  Jewish Boston, 

At the end of the seder, we honor the tradition of declaring, “Next year in Jerusalem!”

For some people, the recitation of this phrase expresses the anticipation of rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem and the return of the Messiah. For others, it is an affirmation of hope and of connectedness with Klal Yisrael, the whole of the Jewish community. Still others yearn for peace in Israel and for all those living in the Diaspora.

Tonight we say, "Next year in Jerusalem! Next year, may all be free!"
