Religious / SynagogueMeaningThis is a blessing that Jewish people say before they drink wine, especially on Shabbat (the day of rest) and holidays. It means: Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the world, who creates the fruit of the vine.
HistoryThis blessing is very old. It first appears in the Mishnah, a very important Jewish book written down almost 2,000 years ago. The Mishnah has a list of blessings to say for all different kinds of food, and this is the one for wine.
Example
Before drinking wine, people say "Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the world, who creates the fruit of the vine."
