Leader:
We take up the Kiddush cup and proclaim the holiness of the Day of Deliverance!
We praise You, God, Sovereign of the universe! You have called us for service from among the peoples, and have hallowed our lives with commandments. In love, You have given us festivals for rejoicing, seasons of celebration, this Festival of Matzot, the time of our freedom, a commemoration of the Exodus from Egypt.
