NIRTZAH / Hasal Seder - נִרְצָה

We now take this cup in our hands for the fourth Kiddush, the fourth cup of wine. We do this to remember God's fourth promise to the Jewish people, promising to take the Jews to be the people of God. God reached out to the Jews, and to remember this we say together:

.בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אַדוֹ-נַי ' אֱלוֹ-הֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָפֶן

Baruch Atah Ado-nai Elo-heinu Melech Ha-olam Boreh Pree Ha-ga-fen.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

(Drink the fourth cup of wine)

Our Seder is now closing. We have learned the story of the Hebrews of Egypt, the story of Moses, and why the Passover foods are important to the Seder. We know that Jews in many lands do not have freedom, and many people all over the world are hungry. We know that we must keep working until these wrongs are set right, these people are free and no longer in need. Until then we say together:

לְשָׁנָה   הַבָּאָה   בִּירוּשָׁלָֽיִם:

L'Shana HaBa'ah Ba'Y'rushalayim

Next Year in Jerusalem!

Next year may we all dwell in peace!
