The Second Cup

Haggadah Section: -- Cup #2 & Dayenu

Obligations of the Holiday

רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל הָיָה אוֹמֵר:כָּל שֶׁלֹּא אָמַר שְׁלשָׁה דְּבָרִים אֵלּוּ בַּפֶּסַח, לֹא יָצָא יְדֵי חוֹבָתוֹ, וְאֵלוּ הֵן פֶּסַח, מַצָה, וּמָרוֹר.

Rabban Gamliel would teach that all those who had not spoken of three things on Passover had not fulfilled their obligation to tell the story, and these three things are:

The Pesach Sacrifice, Matzah, and Maror

The second cup of wine is held as we recite the blessing

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר גְּאָלָֽנוּ וְגָאַל אֶת־אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ מִמִּצְרַֽיִם, וְהִגִּיעָֽנוּ לַלַּֽיְלָה הַזֶּה, לֶאֱכָל־בּוֹ מַצָּה וּמָרוֹר. כֵּן, יְיָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ, יַגִּיעֵֽנוּ לְמוֹעֲדִים וְלִרְגָלִים אֲחֵרִים, הַבָּאִים לִקְרָאתֵֽנוּ לְשָׁלוֹם. שְׂמֵחִים בְּבִנְיַן עִירֶֽךָ, וְשָׂשִׂים בַּעֲבוֹדָתֶֽךָ, וְנֹאכַל שָׁם מִן הַזְּבָחִים וּמִן הַפְּסָחִים (במוצאי שבת אומרים מִן הַפְּסָחִים וּמִן הַזְּבָחִים), אֲשֶׁר יַגִּֽיעַ דָּמָם, עַל קִיר מִזְבַּחֲךָ לְרָצוֹן, וְנוֹדֶה לְּךָ שִׁיר חָדָשׁ עַל גְּאֻלָּתֵֽנוּ, וְעַל פְּדוּת נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ:

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who redeemed us and redeemed our ancestors from Egypt, and brought us on this night to eat matza and marror; so too, Lord our God, and God our our ancestors, bring us to other appointed times and holidays that will come to greet us in peace, joyful in the building of Your city and happy in Your worship; that we should eat there from the offerings and from the Pesach sacrifices, the blood of which should reach the wall of Your altar, for favor, and we shall thank You with a new song upon our redemption and upon the restoration of our souls. Blessed are You, Lord who redeemed Israel.

:בָרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, גָּאַל יִשְׂרָאֵל: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּֽפֶן

Blessed are You, Lord our God, Kind of the universe, who created the fruit of the vine.
