Barukh ata Adonai, eloheinu melekh haolam, borei p'ree hagafen.
Blessed art thou Lord, our G-d, ruler of the world, creator of the fruit of the vine.
This traditional
Jewish prayer is spoken at most meals (at least, those with
wine) before
imbibing wine.
Growing up, my
father would occasionally add,
"Bless them hagafens!" to the end of this prayer. This slightly
irreverent version of "
Amen" has become traditional at
SIPB seders, although usually the utterance will wait until anyone who is new to the
meme has their
glass at their lips.
