Halleil & The Second Cup
This is the time when traditionally songs of praise are sung. After escaping Egypt, the Hebrews sang songs of praise and thanksgiving. Before we begin eating matzah, it is appropriate to reference Psalms 113-118, known as the Hallel. As the Hallel was sung in the temple the paschal lambs were slain.
Seder Leader: Blessed are You, O LORD our God who bids us rejoice with psalms of praise.
It is time for the second cup, the "Cup of Deliverance," with this cup we remember the second promise Yahweh made to the Hebrew people:
I will free you from being slaves to them. (Exodus 6:6-7)
Everyone raise the second cup.
All: Blessed are you, O LORD our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.
Everyone lean to the left and drink.
