Kiddush (Blessing Over The Wine)

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Fill your cup with the first glass of wine, lift the cup, say the Kiddush, and drink, leaning to the left. All Jewish celebrations, from holidays to weddings, include wine as a symbol of our joy – not to mention a practical way to increase that joy. The Seder starts with the first cup of wine and then gives us three more opportunities to refill our cup and drink.

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, borei p’ree hagafen. Amen.

Blessed are You, God, Spirit of the Universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

The Shehecheyanu – Generic Prayer Of Gratitude

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, shehechiyanu, v’key’manu, v’higiyanu lazman hazeh.

We praise God, Spirit of the Universe, who has kept us alive, raised us up, and brought us to this happy moment.

Why make an account?

Because why use any of your precious brain cells to remember where you kept those great readings that you’ll use someday at Jeffrey’s B Mitzvah? Make an account, keep the readings there. Easy peasy. The only thing you’ll need to remember is your password, and from personal experience that’s hard enough.
