Traditionally, Jewish holidays include a blessing over wine. However, wine is in itself a discriminatory drink, since only those of 21 or older can legally drink it. Since a large part of Obama's campaign and message was about the importance of reaching out to the youth, we will make kiddush over water instead. Water is an essential life force that nourishes the entire world. It is important both for the world of nature and for the world of people. It is our quintessential natural resource.
Baruch atah adonai elohainu melech ha'olam, boreh prie ha'shamayim v'ha'yam.
