Kadesh
The four cups of wine used in the Seder symbolize four distinct promises made by God as told in Exodus 6:6-7.
- Cup of Sanctification: “I will bring you out of Egypt”
- Cup of Deliverance: “I will deliver you from Egyptian slavery”
- Cup of Redemption: “I will redeem you with My power”
- Cup of Restoration: “I will take you as My people”
How do the promises mark different aspects of the physical and spiritual journey from slavery to peoplehood, from bondage, to freedom to revelation?
We stand, recite the blessing and enjoy the first cup. L'chaim!
Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, borei p'ri hagafen.
Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the Universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.
