Sanctifying the day
May the light of the candles we kindle together tonight bring radiance to all who live in darkness. May this season, marking the deliverance of our people from Pharaoh, rouse us against anyone who keeps others in servitude. In gratitude for the freedom we enjoy, may we strive to bring about the liberation of all people everywhere. Lighting these candles, we create the sacred space of the Festival of Freedom; we sanctify the coming-together of our community.
בָּ רוּך אַ תָּ ה יְ יָ, אֱ להֵ ינוּ רוּחַ הַ עוֹֹ לָ ם, אָ שֶ ר קִ דְ שָ נוּ בְּ מִ צְ וֹתָ יו וְ צִ וָ נוּ לְ הָ דלִ יק נֵ ר שֶ ל יוֹם טוֹֹ ב.
Baruch atah, Adonai, eloheinu ruach ha’olam, asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu l’hadlik ner shel Yom Tov.
Blessed are you, Adonai our God, Breath of Life, who sanctifies us with your commandment to kindle the holiday lights.
