Leader:
Let us all refill our cups.
Leader picks up cup for all to see.
This is the cup of hope.
The seder tradition involves pouring a cup for the Hebrew prophet Elijah. For millennia, Jews opened the door for him, inviting him join their seders, hoping that he would bring with him a messiah to save the world.
Yet the tasks of saving the world - once ascribed to prophets, messiahs and gods - must be taken up by us mere mortals, by common people with shared goals. Working together for progressive change,we can bring about the improvement of the world, tiqqun ha-olam - for justice and for peace, we can and we must.
Leader:
Let us now symbolically open the door of our seder to invite in all people of good will and all those in needto work together with us for a better world.Let us raise our fourth cup as we dedicate ourselves to tiqqun olam, the improvement of the world.
Everyone:
"L' Tiqqun Olam!"
All drink the fourth cup.
Leader and group alternate:
Kiddush means “sanctification” or “separation”. We leave our day-to-day lives behind and rededicate ourselves to our values.
We take a moment to acknowledge our place in this world and find gratitude. We set aside daily work and allow ourselves days of rest.
We come together with family and friends and connect with our ancestors.
We create new memories to join with those of the past.
We appreciate the freedom to relax and enjoy the full measure of our time on Earth.
We are fortunate to have celebrations and days of rest. There are many others alive today and throughout history who have not been so lucky. And let us say, Amen.
Today we celebrate the Festival of Passover. We are privileged to retell the story of the Exodus from Egypt as a reminder of our dedication to freedom.

Barukh ha-or ba’olam, v’barukh ha-or ba’adam, borei peri hagafen. Let us bless the light in the world and the light in humanity that brings forth the fruit of the vine.
