One of the most dramatic moments of the Passover seder
comes with the recitation of the 10 plagues that, the Bible says, God
brought on the Egyptians to persuade Pharaoh to free the Israelites from
slavery. As we recite each plague, we spill a drop of wine in
recognition, according to many interpretations, that the process of our
liberation caused suffering to the Egyptian people.
