Though Passover is a celebration of freedom for the Israelites, it remains important to acknowledge the suffering onto the Egyptians in our story of redemption.  In order to be thoughtful about this, we will remove a bit of our own joy, by dipping our fingers into our cups and removing one drop of juice for each plague.

These are the plagues that God made for the Egyptians: 

Blood | dam | דָּם

Frogs | tzfardeiya |  צְפַרְדֵּֽעַ

Lice | kinim | כִּנִּים

Beasts | arov | עָרוֹב

Cattle disease | dever | דֶּֽבֶר

Boils | sh’chin | שְׁחִין

Hail | barad | בָּרָד

Locusts | arbeh | אַרְבֶּה

Darkness | choshech | חֹֽשֶׁךְ

Death of the Firstborn | makat b’chorot | מַכַּת בְּכוֹרוֹת
