The second cup of wine is dedicated not only to the struggles of the Jewish people, but to all people seeking a secure life free of fear and persecution. We hope and work particularly for the Israelis and the Palestinians that they may all learn to live together in freedom and peace.

Let us strive to fulfill the words of the Prophet Micah: "They shall beat their swords in plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, they shall never again know war. But they shall sit every one under their vines and fig trees, and none shall make them afraid" (Micah 4.3-4).

Let us all raise our glasses in a toast to peace and freedom for all.

P'ri ha-gaphen - 'itto, nishteh The fruit of the vine - with it, let us drink

"L'Shalom u-l'-Herut!" "To peace and freedom!"

Now let us all drink our second cup and then sing another song of peace.
