The Third Cup: Bareich
Refill everyone’s wine glass.
We now say grace after the meal, thanking God for the food we’ve eaten. On Passover, this becomes something like an extended toast, culminating with drinking our third glass of wine for the evening:
We have eaten our Passover meal as free people. May we have love and compassion, the source of bread for all. May we never lack for food. We have eaten and are satisfied, and we give thanks.
May the source of peace grant peace to us, to the Jewish people, and to the entire world.
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.
Thank you, God, for grapes, so we may have this wine.
Everyone drinks their third glass of wine!
