אשר גאלנו
Asher Ge'alanu

מגביהים את הכוס.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱ-לֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר גְּאָלָנוּ וְגָאַל אֶת אֲבוֹתֵינוּ מִמִּצְרַיִם, וְהִגִּיעָנוּ הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה לֶאֱכָל בּוֹ מַצָּה וּמָרוֹר. כֵּן ה' אֱ-לֹקֵינוּ וֵא-לֹקֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ יַגִּיעֵנוּ לְמוֹעֲדִים וְלִרְגָלִים אֲחֵרִים הַבָּאִים לִקְרָאתֵנוּ לְשָׁלוֹם, שְׂמֵחִים בְּבִנְיַן עִירֶךְ וְשָׂשִׂים בַּעֲבוֹדָתֶךָ. וְנֹאכַל שָׁם מִן הַזְּבָחִים וּמִן הַפְּסָחִים (במוצ"ש יש אומרים: מִן הַפְּסָחִים וּמִן הַזְּבָחִים) אֲשֶׁר יַגִּיעַ דָּמָם עַל קִיר מִזְבַּחֲךָ לְרָצון, וְנוֹדֶה לְךָ שִׁיר חָדָש עַל גְּאֻלָּתֵנוּ וְעַל פְּדוּת נַפְשֵׁנוּ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה', גָּאַל יִשְׂרָאֵל.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה', אֱ-לֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן.

ושותים את הכוס בהסבת שמאל.

Raise the cup, and recite:

Blessed are You, Hashem our G-d, King of the universe, who redeemed us and redeemed our ancestors from Egypt, and brought us on this night to eat Matzah and Maror. So too, Hashem our G-d, and G-d of our ancestors, bring us to other appointed times and holidays that will come to greet us in peace, joyful in the building of Your city and happy in Your worship; that we shall eat there from the offerings and from the Pesach sacrifices, the blood of which shall be applied to the wall of Your altar in favor, and we shall thank You with a new song upon our Redemption and upon the restoration of our souls. Blessed are You, Hashem, who redeemed Israel.

We say the blessing below, and drink the cup while reclining to the left.

Blessed are You, Hashem our G-d, who creates the fruit of the vine.

Highlighted entries are Halachah-related

1) והגיענו הלילה הזה, לאכל בו מצה ומרור -

Why are the Mitzvos of Pesach to be performed specifically at night? On other festivals, the Mitzvos must be performed by day (e.g. Shofar, Lulav)!

1. Insights to Pesachim 3:2

2. Parasha-Page for Pesach 5756, sections I and V

2) ונאכל שם מן הזבחים ומן הפסחים -

"Zevachim" refers to the Korban Chagigah brought on the 14th of Nisan. What is the source for bringing such a Korban? Why is it eaten specifically before eating the Korban Pesach? Is it brought when Pesach falls on Motza'ei Shabbos?

1. Insights to Pesachim 70:1

2. Tosfos to Pesachim 116:9:c

3) Structure of the blessing -

This blessing includes both praise for the past Redemption, and our request for the future. What Halachos can we learn from the structure of this blessing?

1. Tosfos to Pesachim 116:8:a

2. Tosfos to Pesachim 104:9:v, answers 1-4

4) ונודה לך שיר חדש -

Why, in this blessing, do we refer to our future song as "Shir Chadash" in the masculine; whereas in the paragraph "Lefichach" (which introduced Hallel) we called it a "Shirah Chadashah," in the feminine?

1. Tosfos to Pesachim 116:9

5) A repeated Berachah -

Why do we repeat "Borei Pri ha'Gafen" over the second cup of wine (according to Ashkenaz practice)? We have already recited it over the first cup, at Kiddush!

1. Tosfos to Pesachim 103:11:c
