Kiddush and Havdalah

Haggadah Section: Introduction

FESTIVAL KIDDUSH

When the seder falls on a Saturday evening, a special, abbreviated version of  Havdalah  is recited before the  Shehecheyanu  is recited. 

First, the Kiddush is recited.

Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, borei p'ri hagafen.

Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, asher bachar banu mikol am, v'rom'manu mikol lashon, v'kid'shanu b'mitzvotav. Vatiten lanu, Adonai Eloheinu, b'ahavah mo-adim l'simchah, chagim uz'manim l'sason, et yom  Chag HaMatzot hazeh, z'man cheiruteinu,  mikra kodesh, zeicher litziat Mitzrayim. Ki vanu vacharta v'otanu kidashta mikol haamim umo-adei kodsh'cha b'simchah uv'sason hinchaltanu.

Baruch atah, Adonai m'kadeish Yisrael v'hazmanim.

Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the world, Creator of the fruit of the vine.

Blessed are You, Our God, Sovereign of the universe, who has chosen us from among the peoples, exalting us by hallowing us with mitzvot. In Your love, Adonai our God, You have given us feasts of gladness, and seasons of joy; this Festival of Pesach, season of our freedom, a sacred occasion, a remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt. For You have chosen us from all peoples and consecrated us to Your service, and given us the Festivals, a time of gladness and joy.

Blessed are You, Adonai, who sanctifies Israel and the Festivals.

SPECIAL HAVDALAH

When the seder falls on a Saturday evening, we continue with this special version of  Havdalah  before the  Shehecheyanu  is recited

TRANSLITERATION

TRANSLATION

Blessed are You, Adonai Our God, Sovereign of the universe, Creator of the fire's light.

Blessed are You, Adonai Our God, Sovereign of the universe. You distinguish between holiness and dailiness, between light and darkness, between Israel and the nations, between the seventh day and the six days of creation, between the holiness of the Sabbath and the holiness of the Festival Days. You sanctify the seventh day from the six days of Creation. You distinguish and make holy your people Israel. Blessed are You, Our God, who distinguishes between holiness and holiness.

SHEHECHEYANU

We recite the  Shehecheyanu,  thanking God for allowing us to reach this day.

Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, for giving us life, for sustaining us, and for enabling us to reach this season.
