Like in most Jewish holidays there is going to be a lot of candles and wine drinking so let's start by saying a blessing for the candles and wine.

Light all the candles and pour all the wine, including two cups for the profit Elijah and Moses' sister Miriam.

Candle Blessing:

Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav, v'tzivanu l'hadlik ner shel Yom Tov.

Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the Universe, who has sanctified us with laws and commanded us to light the festival lights.

Wine Blessing:

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ree hagafen.

We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who creates the fruit of the vine.

Finish your first drink.

Take a moment for the spirit of Elijah and Miriam to drink their drinks.
