Remembering the ten plagues that God brought upon the Egyptians when Pharaoh refused to free the Israelites, we have the opportunity tonight to recognize that the world is not yet free of adversity and struggle. This is especially true for refugees.

After you pour out a drop of wine for each of the ten plagues that Egypt suffered, we invite you to then pour out drops of wine for ten modern plagues afflicting refugee communities worldwide and in the United States. 

1. Violence
2. Dangerous journeys
3. Poverty
4. Food insecurity
5. Lack of access to education
6. Xenophobia
7. Anti-refugee legislation
8. Language barriers
9. Workforce discrimination
10. Loss of family

Refugees are not the only people suffering in modern times. What other modern "plagues" afflict the earth and its inhabitants today?
