SHULCHAN OREICH, TZAFUN, BAREICH
TIME TO EAT! (Hebrew Trans: שֻׁלְחָן עוֹרֵךְ ! But don’t forget when you’re done we’ve got a little more seder to go, including the final two cups of wine!
FINDING AND EATING THE AFIKOMEN | TZAFOON | צָפוּן
Tzafun, which literally means “hidden,” is the part of the seder where we seek what is not obvious, when we look for something other than what is in front of our faces. It is also when we return to that which was broken earlier in the evening and try to make whole again. In this way, Tzafun serves as the organizing principle of the second half of our seder, where we ask ourselves what world we want to see. Then we commit ourselves to making it real.
Refill everyone’s wine glass.
GRACE AFTER THE MEAL
On Passover, this becomes something like an extended toast to God, culminating with drinking our third glass of wine for the evening:
We praise God, whose goodness sustains the world.As it says in the Torah: When you have eaten and are satisfied, give praise to your God who has given you this good earth. We praise God for the earth and for its sustenance. May the source of peace grant peace to us, to the Jewish people, and to the entire world. Amen.
The Third Glass of Wine
The blessing over the meal is immediately followed by another blessing over the wine:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן
Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ree hagafen.
We praise God, who creates the fruit of the vine.
Drink the third glass of wine!
