At the end of the seder, it is traditional to say or sing "Next Year in Jerusalem". We sometimes think of this as a literal wish, though far fewer of us have actually found ourselves in Jerusalem for seder the following year -- congratulations if you have!  

But Jerusalem is more than a place, it is a feeling, it is a hope. We wish to be free, loved, and safe.  We wish to be with people we love and who love us back.  We wish to be connected to one another and to pass our traditions to our children.

To conclude the seder, we invite anyone to speak who would like to share their thoughts, feelings or questions with the family.
