Now we say the prayer and light the candles
בֳרוך אַתָה יי אֱלהֵינו מֶלֶך הַעוְלָם אֲשֶר קִדְשָנו בְמִצְוותָיו וְצִוָנו לְהַדְלִיק נֵר שֶל (שַבָת ושל) יום טוב
BAH-RUCH AH-TAH AH-DO-Nai EH-LOH-HEy-NEW MEH-LECH HAH-OH-LAHM AH-SHER KEE-DEH-SHAH-NOO BEH-MITZ-VOH-TAHV VEH-TZEE-VAH-NOO LEH-HAD-LEEK NER SHEL YOHM TOHV.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us to kindle the Yom Tov light.
Refill everyone’s wine glass.
We now say grace after the meal, thanking God for the food we’ve eaten.
We praise God, Ruler of Everything, whose goodness sustains the world. You are the origin of love and compassion, the source of bread for all. Thanks to You, we need never lack for food; You provide food enough for everyone. We praise God, source of food for everyone.
As it says in the Torah: When you have eaten and are satisfied, give praise to your God who has given you this good earth. We praise God for the earth and for its sustenance.
Renew our spiritual center in our time. We praise God, who centers us.
May the source of peace grant peace to us, to the Jewish people, and to the entire world. Amen.
The Third Glass of Wine
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן
Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ree hagafen.
We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who creates the fruit of the vine.
Drink the third glass of wine!
Nirtzah marks the conclusion of the seder. Our bellies are full, we have had several glasses of wine, we have told stories and sung songs, and now it is time for the evening to come to a close. At the end of the seder, we honor the tradition of declaring, “Next year in Jerusalem!”
For some people, the recitation of this phrase expresses the anticipation of rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem and the return of the Messiah. For others, it is an affirmation of hope and of connectedness with the whole of the Jewish community. Still others yearn for peace in Israel and for all those living in the Diaspora.
Our seder is over, according to Jewish tradition and law. As we had the pleasure to gather for a seder this year, we hope to once again have the opportunity in the years to come. We pray that God brings health and healing to Israel and all the people of the world, especially those impacted by natural tragedy and war. As we say…
לְשָׁנָה הַבָּאָה בִּירוּשָׁלָֽיִם
L’shana haba-ah biy’rushalayim
NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM!
The wicked child is perceived as wicked for not identifying himself as a Jew. The wicked child sees themselves as an outsider and has isolated themselves from the Jewish community. The wicked child's behavior is self centered. There is a little bit of wicked child in all of us. All of us are at times self centered.
The right thing to say to the wicked child is "This service means that I am part of the Jewish community and I benefit from the community and the community benefits from my participation. You will grow and benefit from being part of the community. In return you will help others grow"
We all need to take part in our community to help solve the big problems that the Jewish community faces, the nation faces, and the world faces.
The point of the answer to wicked child in our time is not to scold him, but to convince him that taking part in the community benefits him and others.
We now dip the Karpas into salt water, which may also be considered a symbol of the tears our ancestors shed as slaves. Before we eat it, we recite the blessing:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הָאֲדָמָה
Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ree ha-adama.
We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who creates the fruits of the earth.
The word "karpas" derives from the Greek "karpos" meaning fruit of the soil. Though the historical origins of dipping karpas at the seder simply reflects the accepted cuisine of the Greco-Roman symposium, the rabbis added their own symbolic interpretations in order to connect the dipping to the Peach story.
The dipping of greens is reminiscent of the historic dipping that led Israel into exile in Egypt and the dipping that facilitated their redemption. The descent to Egyptian slavery began when Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery and dipped his coat of many colors into a slaughtered goat's blood in order to mislead their father about his beloved son's true fate. The ascent from exile - moral and physical - began when every family gathered together to share a lamb and to dip in its blood a hyssop plant and to dab it on the doorposts as a protection against the tenth plague.
