Bareich - Thanks for Divine Sustenance
The third cup of wine is now poured, including the cup for Elijah, and Bircas HaMazon (Grace after meals) is recited.
Leader:
A Song of Ascent:
When the Lord restores the exiled of Zion
We shall be as those who dream
Our mouths will be full of laughter then,
Our tongues with song.
Then will they say among the nations:
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
The Lord has done great things for us,
And so we rejoice.
Restore us once again, O God,
Like sudden floodstreams in the desert.
Then those who sow in tears,
Will reap in joy.
Though he go weeping,
As he carries the seed,
He will return bearing the sheaves,
With song and with laughter.

Friends, Let us say Grace.
