The text is conspicuously short, reduced to “Ve-hi she-amdah” and “She-hecheyanu.” The English Invocation reads in part: “Let us pray that the day be not far off when the whole world will be liberated from the forces of tyranny, injustice, inequality, and war.” On p.3 (Shulchan Orech), we have the Seder menu complete with “Gefulte Fish.”
