The Fourth Cup: Belonging to God
Leader: The Fourth Cup celebrates ve-la-kach-ti, "I will take you to Me for a people, and I will become God for you" (Exodus 6:7). In this cup we may see expressed the hope for spiritual redemption for our fulfillment about longing to be close to God. The more we act like God's people, this fourth promise suggests, the more we can experience the Eternal One becoming God for each of us.
Let us raise our cups and celebrate that promise with the following words:
Together:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן
Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheynu Melech Ha’Olam Borey P’ree Hagafen.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, Who creates the fruit of the vine.
לְשָׁנָה הַבָּאָה בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם
La-sha-na ha-ba-ah bi-ru sha-la-yim
Next Year in Jerusalem!
Next Year may all humanity be redeemed!
