Urchatz

Slaves eat quickly, stopping neither to wash nor to reflect. Tonight, we are free. As we wash our hands for the first time this evening, we also remember that we have the freedom to access resources that many do not. We wash and we express our reverence for the blessings that are ours.

(Pass a bowl of water around the table. Each person dips their fingers in  twice. There is no blessing over this washing.)
