In Jewish tradition, a good meal together with friends and family is itself a sacred act, so we prepare for it just as we prepared for our seder.

After we have cleaned our hands, we recite a blessing:

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, asher kid’shanu

b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu al n’tilat yadayim.

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

the opportunity to connect as we wash our hands.
