Singing songs of praise for God | hallel | הַלֵּל

Some sing traditional prayers from the Book of Psalms. Others, favorites like Chad Gadya and Who Knows One. Or, songs from the civil rights movement to celebrate freedom. Or maybe parody lyrics about Passover set to the tunes from a musical. We’re at least three glasses of wine in, about to be four…roll with it.

Fourth Glass

As we come to the end of the seder, we drink one more glass of wine.

With this final cup, we give thanks for the experience of celebrating Passover together, for the traditions that help inform our daily lives and guide our actions and aspirations.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן:

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ree hagafen.

We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who creates the fruit of the vine.

DRINK!

and...

SING!
