The first time we washed our hands before this meal
It was all about water,
It was to get clean.
And we are clean, so why a second time?
Perhaps this time
It’s all about our hands.
As we prepare to wash our hands a second time,
I call up every blessing and good vibe
For the hands that help,
The hands that build,
The hands that comfort,
And the hands that create.
As we prepare to wash our hands a second time,
I call up every curse and shred of bad karma
Against the hands that hurt,
The hands that tear down,
The hands that slap,
And the hands that destroy.
As we prepare to wash our hands a second time
I call up every memory of the hands of our Pesach story,
The hands of the midwives, saving the boy babies,
The hands of the princess, pulling the basket out of the water,
The hands of the slaves, making the bricks out of straw,
And the the hands holding the hands of the children crossing the sea.
So now,
Baruch Atah Adonai
Brucha At Shechina
As we prepare to wash our hands a second time
Let’s pour soothing water for all those hands
To recognize the good work
And wash away the bad
And to
Honor the hands that made this wonderful meal,
And the hands that we will use to put this holy food into our mouths,
And the hands we will wave in the air
As we tell our stories.
And let us say, Amen.
