We have eaten the festive meal, tracked down the afikomen (hopefully it wasn't somewhere dusty), and now we're starting to wonder why we came back to this Haggadah.

Here's another glass of wine to keep you going.

With birkat hamazon, we give thanks for our food, and we pour ourselves a third cup of wine.

(Or, alternately, we say the kadesh again)

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָפֶן

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha’olam, borei p'ri hagafen.

Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the Universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.

(Flip to the back of the book for a song, or chat about something that struck you from the seder, as you empty your glasses for the final cup of the night!)
