Now that we have already washed once, let us wash our hands again with a little more intention. Now, having re-experienced the majesty of the Jewish journey from degradation to dignity, we raise our hands in holiness, and remember that when we were freed from Egypt all of us were freed. Just as we are freed from this pandemic, we remember that our freedom does not start and stop with us, but rather extends to our whole community. As resturants feel more safe and vaccinations are administered widely, we remember that once again that our liberation is bound up in everyone else's. 

This time we say a blessing while we wash our hands. Feel free to say the traditional prayer or think about how to lift your peers up in freedom or create your own blessing. 

Blessed are you, O Lord, our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us through your commandments and has commanded us concerning the washing of hands

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה הָ׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ עַל נְטִילַת יָדַיִם
