The Four Cups of Consciousness: A Shefa Haggadah Companion

When we think about the sights, tastes and smells of the Seder, we think of the matzah, the Seder plate, and the four cups of wine. But the funny thing is, unlike the matzah or the marror (the bitter herb), the four cups are not mentioned in the Torah but were instituted later by the Rabbis of the Talmud in order to enhance our experience of freedom on Passover night. In the Kabbalistic and Hasidic traditions, the four cups of wine are understood as a gateway to a higher consciousness. We invite you to explore the layers of meaning embedded within each of these cups, and experiment with wine as a catalyst for more truth, light, and faith this Pesach.
