URCHATZ

Normally, during a seder, we wash our hands without saying a blessing at this point.

During these days we are instructed to wash our hands over and over and over. As we do so at the seder this year, we can recite the following prayer:

In these difficult times, I commit myself, dedicating my hands to doing good for the world; giving charity; using my hands to help others in physical need; writing words that can make a difference; raising our hands to reflect the words of the Psalmist, S’eu yedeichem kodesh – lift your hands in holiness

We are humans relearning to wash our hands. Washing our hands is an act of love Washing our hands is an act of care Washing our hands helps us return to ourselves by washing away what does not serve. – Dori Midnight
