I give thanks before You, living and eternal King, for You have mercifully restored my soul within me; great is Your faithfulness.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the washing of the hands. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who formed man with wisdom and created within him many openings and many cavities. It is revealed and known before the Throne of Your glory that if one of them were to be blocked, or one of them were to be opened, it would be impossible to survive even for one hour. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who heals all flesh and performs wonders. (Amen)

My G‑d, the soul which You have given within me is pure. You created it, You formed it, You breathed it into me; You preserve it within me, and You will take it from me and restore it to me

in the time to come.

As long as the soul is within me, I give thanks before You, L‑rd my G‑d and G‑d of my fathers, Master of all works, L‑rd of all souls.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who restores souls to lifeless bodies. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who gives the heart understanding to distinguish between day and night. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who opens the eyes of the blind. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who releases the bound. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who straightens the bowed. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who clothes the naked. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who gives strength to the weary. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who spreads out the earth above the waters. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who makes firm the steps of man. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has provided me with all my needs. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who girds Israel with might. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who crowns Israel with glory. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has not made me a gentile. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has not made me a slave. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has not made me a woman. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who removes sleep from my eyes and slumber from my eyelids.

And may it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, to accustom us to Your Torah and make us cleave to Your commandments. Do not bring us into sin, nor into transgression or iniquity, nor into temptation, nor into disgrace. Let not the evil inclination have mastery over us; keep us far from an evil man and an evil companion. Make us cleave to the good inclination and to good deeds, and compel our inclination to be subservient to You. Grant us, today and every day, grace, kindness and mercy in Your eyes and in the eyes of all who see us, and bestow good kindnesses upon us. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who bestows good kindnesses upon His people Israel. (Amen)

May it be Your will, L‑rd my G‑d and G‑d of my fathers, to rescue me today and every day from brazen men and from brazenness; from an evil man, an evil companion, an evil neighbor and an evil mishap; from the evil eye, from evil speech, from informing, from false testimony, from people's hatred, from false accusation, from unnatural death, from severe illnesses and from evil occurrences; from the destructive adversary; from a harsh judgment and from a harsh opponent in judgment, whether he is a member of the covenant or not; and from the judgment of Gehinnom.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the words of Torah. (Amen)

Please, L‑rd our G‑d, make the words of Your Torah sweet in our mouth and in the mouth of all Your people, the house of Israel, so that we and our descendants, and the descendants of all Your people, the house of Israel, may all know Your Name and study Your Torah for its own sake.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who teaches Torah to His people Israel. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who chose us from among all the nations and gave us His Torah.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who gives the Torah. (Amen)

The L‑rd spoke to Moshe, saying:

Speak to Aharon and his sons, saying: Thus shall you bless the children of Israel; say to them:

May the L‑rd bless you and guard you. (Amen)

May the L‑rd make His countenance shine upon you and be gracious to you. (Amen)

May the L‑rd turn His countenance toward you and grant you peace. (Amen)

And they shall place My Name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them. (Amen)

These are the things which have no fixed measure:

the corner of the field [left for the poor], the first fruits, the pilgrimage offering, acts of kindness, and the study of Torah.

These are the things whose fruits a person enjoys in this world, while the principal remains for him in the World to Come. They are:

honoring father and mother, acts of kindness, arriving early at the house of study morning and evening, hospitality to guests, visiting the sick, providing for a bride, escorting the dead, concentration in prayer, and bringing peace between a person and his fellow and between husband and wife — and the study of Torah is equal to them all.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the mitzvah of tzitzis. (Amen)

I hereby take upon myself the positive commandment, "Love your fellow as yourself."

How goodly are your tents, Jacob, your dwelling places, Israel.

As for me, through Your abundant kindness I come into Your house; I bow down toward Your holy Sanctuary in awe of You.

As for me, may my prayer to You, L‑rd, be at a favorable time; G‑d, in Your abounding kindness, answer me with the truth of Your salvation.

Master of the world, who reigned before any creature was created;

when all was made by His will, then was His Name proclaimed King.

And after all has ceased to be, He alone, the Awesome One, will reign.

He was, He is, and He will be in splendor.

He is One, and there is no second to compare to Him or to be His equal.

Without beginning, without end; His are the power and the dominion.

He is my G‑d and my living Redeemer, the Rock of my lot in time of distress.

He is my banner and my refuge, my portion on the day I call.

Into His hand I entrust my spirit when I sleep and when I awaken.

And with my spirit, my body too; the L‑rd is with me, and I will not fear.

Our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, remember us with a favorable remembrance before You, and recall us with a recollection of salvation and mercy from the primeval, highest heavens. Remember for us, L‑rd our G‑d, the love of the ancients, Avraham, Yitzchak and Yisrael, Your servants; the covenant, the kindness, and the oath which You swore to Avraham our father on Mount Moriah, and the binding, when he bound his son Yitzchak upon the altar, as it is written in Your Torah:

It came to pass after these events that G‑d tested Avraham and said to him, “Avraham,” and he answered, “Here I am.”

He said, “Please take your son, your only one, whom you love — Yitzchak — and go to the land of Moriah, and bring him up there as a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you.”

Avraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey; he took his two young men with him and Yitzchak his son, split the wood for the burnt-offering, and set out for the place of which G‑d had told him.

On the third day Avraham lifted his eyes and saw the place from afar.

Avraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder; we will bow down and then return to you.”

Avraham took the wood for the burnt-offering and placed it upon Yitzchak his son; he took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them went on together.

Yitzchak spoke to Avraham his father and said, “Father!” He answered, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt-offering?”

Avraham said, “G‑d will see to the lamb for the burnt-offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.

They came to the place of which G‑d had told him. Avraham built the altar there and arranged the wood; he bound Yitzchak his son and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood.

Avraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.

An angel of the L‑rd called to him from heaven and said, “Avraham! Avraham!” And he answered, “Here I am.”

He said, “Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to him, for now I know that you are G‑d-fearing, since you have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me.”

Avraham lifted his eyes and saw, and behold,

a ram, afterwards caught in the thicket by its horns. Avraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt-offering in place of his son.

Avraham named that place “The L‑rd will see,” as it is said to this day: “On the mountain the L‑rd will be seen.”

The angel of the L‑rd called to Avraham a second time from heaven,

and said, “By Myself I swear, says the L‑rd, that because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only one,

I will surely bless you, and I will greatly multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven and like the sand on the seashore, and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.

And through your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you obeyed My voice.”

Avraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Be'er Sheva; and Avraham dwelt in Be'er Sheva.

Master of the world, just as Avraham our father suppressed his compassion for his only son in order to do Your will with a whole heart, so may Your mercy suppress Your anger from upon us, and may Your mercy prevail over Your attributes [of judgment].

Deal with us, L‑rd our G‑d, with the attribute of kindness and the attribute of mercy, and go beyond the strict line of justice for us. In Your great goodness, may Your fierce anger turn away from Your people, Your city, Your land and Your heritage. Fulfill for us, L‑rd our G‑d, the word You promised us in Your Torah through Moshe Your servant, from the mouth of Your glory, as it is said:

I will remember My covenant with Yaakov, and also My covenant with Yitzchak, and also My covenant with Avraham will I remember, and I will remember the land.

And it is said: Yet even so, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them nor abhor them to destroy them, breaking My covenant with them, for I am the L‑rd their G‑d.

And it is said: I will remember for them the covenant of the forefathers whom I brought out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their G‑d; I am the L‑rd.

And it is said:

The L‑rd your G‑d will bring back your captivity and have mercy upon you, and He will again gather you from all the peoples among whom the L‑rd your G‑d has scattered you.

Even if your dispersed are at the ends of the heavens, from there the L‑rd your G‑d will gather you, and from there He will take you.

The L‑rd your G‑d will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will do good to you and make you more numerous than your fathers.

And it is said: L‑rd, be gracious to us; we have hoped for You. Be their strength every morning, and our salvation in time of distress.

And it is said: It is a time of distress for Yaakov, but he will be saved from it.

And it is said: In all their afflictions He was afflicted, and the angel of His presence saved them; in His love and in His compassion He redeemed them, and He bore them and carried them all the days of old.

And it is said: Who is a G‑d like You, who pardons iniquity...

He will again have mercy on us, He will subdue our iniquities, and You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Grant truth to Yaakov, kindness to Avraham, as You swore to our fathers from days of old.

And it is said: I will bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted with favor upon My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.

A person should always be G‑d-fearing in private, acknowledge the truth, speak the truth in his heart, and rise early and say:

Master of all worlds, it is not on account of our righteousness that we cast our supplications before You, but on account of Your abundant mercies. What are we? What is our life? What is our kindness? What is our righteousness? What is our strength? What is our might? What can we say before You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers? Are not all the mighty as nothing before You, men of renown as though they had never been, the wise as if without knowledge, and the understanding as if without intelligence? For most of their deeds are emptiness, and the days of their lives are vanity before You;

the superiority of man over beast is nothing, for all is vanity.

except the pure soul which is destined to give a judgment and accounting before the Throne of Your glory. And all the nations are as nothing before You, as it is said: "Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are counted as the dust upon the scales; behold, the islands are like the fine dust that is lifted away."

But we are Your people, the children of Your covenant, the children of Abraham, Your beloved, to whom You swore on Mount Moriah; the seed of Isaac, his only son, who was bound upon the altar; the community of Jacob, Your firstborn son, whom, because of the love with which You loved him and the joy with which You rejoiced in him, You named Israel and Jeshurun.

Therefore it is our duty to thank You, to praise You, to glorify You, to bless, to sanctify, and to offer praise and thanksgiving to Your Name. Fortunate are we! How good is our portion, how pleasant our lot, and how beautiful our heritage! Fortunate are we that we rise early and stay late, evening and morning, and say twice every day:

Hear, O Israel, the L‑rd is our G‑d, the L‑rd is One.

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

You shall love the L‑rd your G‑d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart.

You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you rise.

You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes.

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

You were the same before the world was created; You have been the same since the world was created; You are the same in this world, and You will be the same in the World to Come. Sanctify Your Name in Your world, through the people who sanctify Your Name; and through Your salvation, our King, exalt and raise our strength, and save us soon for the sake of Your Name. Blessed is He who sanctifies His Name among the multitudes.

You are the L‑rd our G‑d in heaven and on earth, and in the highest heavens of heavens. Truly, You are the first and You are the last, and besides You there is no G‑d.

Gather the dispersed who hope in You from the four corners of the earth. Let all who come into the world recognize and know that You alone are G‑d over all the kingdoms of the earth.

You have made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them; and who among all the works of Your hands, among the celestial or the terrestrial beings, can say to You, "What are You doing? What are You making?" Our Father in heaven, living and enduring, deal kindly and graciously with us for the sake of Your great, mighty and awesome Name which is called upon us; and fulfill for us, L‑rd our G‑d, that which You have promised us through Zephaniah Your seer, as it is said:

"At that time I will bring you, and at that time I will gather you; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I return your captivity before your eyes," says the L‑rd.

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying: Command Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the law of the burnt-offering: It is the burnt-offering which shall remain upon its firewood on the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar

shall be kept burning on it.

The Kohen shall put on his linen garment, and he shall put linen breeches upon his flesh, and he shall lift out the ashes into which the fire has consumed the burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall place them beside the altar.

Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out; and the Kohen shall kindle wood on it every morning, and arrange the burnt-offering upon it, and burn on it the fats of the peace-offerings.

A constant fire shall be kept burning on the altar; it shall not go out.

May it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that You have mercy on us and pardon us all our sins, atone for us all our iniquities, and pardon and forgive us all our transgressions; and that the Beis Hamikdash be rebuilt speedily in our days, and we will offer before You the daily offering, that it may atone for us, as You have written for us in Your Torah through Moshe Your servant, from the mouth of Your glory, as it is said:

The L‑rd spoke to Moshe, saying:

Command the children of Israel and say to them: My offering, My food for My fire-offerings, a pleasing odor to Me, you shall be careful to offer Me at its appointed time.

And say to them: This is the fire-offering which you shall bring to the L‑rd: two yearling male lambs without blemish every day, as a continual burnt-offering.

One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer in the afternoon;

and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil of crushed olives.

This is the continual burnt-offering, as it was offered at Mount Sinai, for a pleasing odor, a fire-offering to the L‑rd.

And its libation shall be a quarter of a hin for the one lamb; in the Sanctuary you shall pour out a libation of strong wine to the L‑rd.

And the other lamb you shall offer in the afternoon; with the same meal-offering as in the morning and with the same libation you shall offer it, a fire-offering of pleasing odor to the L‑rd.

He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the L‑rd, and the sons of Aaron, the Kohanim, shall sprinkle its blood all around the altar.

You are the L‑rd our G‑d and the G‑d of our fathers, before whom our forefathers burned the offering of incense in the time when the Beis Hamikdash stood, as You commanded them through Moses Your prophet, as it is written in Your Torah:

The L‑rd said to Moses: Take for yourself spices:

balsam, onycha, and galbanum; spices and pure frankincense, each of equal weight.

And you shall make of it incense, a compound expertly blended, well mingled, pure and holy.

You shall grind some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you.

And it is said: Aaron shall burn upon it incense of spices; every morning, when he sets the lamps in order, he shall burn it.

And when Aaron lights the lamps in the afternoon, he shall burn it, a continual incense before the L‑rd throughout your generations.

The Rabbis taught: How was the incense prepared?

It weighed three hundred and sixty-eight maneh: three hundred and sixty-five corresponding to the number of days of the solar year, a maneh for each day, half in the morning and half in the afternoon; and three extra maneh, from which the Kohen Gadol took two handfuls on Yom Kippur. He would return them to the mortar on the day before Yom Kippur and grind them very

very fine, so that it would be extremely fine. It contained eleven kinds of spices, and these are they:

(1) balm,

(2) onycha,

(3) galbanum,

(4) and frankincense, each weighing seventy maneh;

(5) myrrh,

(6) cassia,

(7) spikenard,

(8) and saffron, each weighing sixteen maneh;

(9) costus, twelve;

(10) aromatic bark, three;

(11) cinnamon, nine.

Also, nine kav of lye of Carshina; three se'ah and three kav of Cyprus wine — if he had no Cyprus wine, he would bring strong white wine; a quarter kav of salt of Sodom; and a minute quantity of a smoke-raising herb.

Rabbi Nassan of Babylon says: Also a minute quantity of Jordan amber. If he added honey to it, he rendered it unfit; and if he omitted any one of its spices, he is liable to the penalty of death.

Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: The balm is nothing but a resin that drips from the balsam trees. The lye of Carshina was used for rubbing the onycha to make it beautiful; the Cyprus wine was used for steeping the onycha to make it pungent. Though urine is suitable for that purpose, urine is not brought into the Beis Hamikdash out of respect.

It was taught: Rabbi Nassan says: When he ground the incense, he would say, "Grind it thoroughly, thoroughly grind it," because the sound is good for the spices. If he mixed it in half-quantities, it was fit for use; but as to a third or a quarter, we have not heard. Rabbi Yehudah said: This is the rule — if it was made in its correct proportions, it is fit for use in half the quantity; but if he omitted any one of its spices, he is liable to the penalty of death.

It was taught: Bar Kappara says: Once every sixty or seventy years, the accumulated surpluses amounted to half the yearly quantity. Bar Kappara further taught: Had a kortov of honey been mixed into it, no

person could have withstood its scent. Why then was no honey mixed into it? Because the Torah said: "For any leaven or any honey, you shall not burn from them a fire-offering to the L‑rd."

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Jacob is a stronghold for us, Selah.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Jacob is a stronghold for us, Selah.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Jacob is a stronghold for us, Selah.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd, help us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

L‑rd, help us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

L‑rd, help us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the L‑rd, as in the days of old and as in former years.

Abaye recounted the order of the daily service in the Beis Hamikdash on the basis of tradition and in accordance with the opinion of Abba Shaul: The large wood-pile precedes the second wood-pile for the incense; the second wood-pile for the incense precedes the placing of the two logs of wood; the placing of the two logs of wood precedes the removing of the ashes from the inner altar; the removing of the ashes from the inner altar precedes the cleaning of five lamps; the cleaning of five lamps precedes the sprinkling of the blood of the daily offering; the sprinkling of the blood of the daily offering precedes the cleaning of the two remaining lamps; the cleaning of the two lamps precedes the incense; the incense precedes the burning of the limbs; the burning of the limbs precedes the meal-offering; the meal-offering precedes the pancakes; the pancakes precede the libations; the libations precede the Musaf offerings; the Musaf offerings precede the frankincense; the frankincense precedes the afternoon daily offering; as it is said: "And he shall arrange the burnt-offering upon it, and burn on it the fats of the peace-offerings" — "upon it" you shall complete all the offerings.

We implore You, by the great power of Your right hand, release the captive. (Abg Yatz)

Accept the prayer of Your people; strengthen us, purify us, Awesome One. (Kra Satan)

Mighty One, we beseech You, guard as the apple of the eye those who seek Your Oneness. (Nagd Yechash)

Bless them, cleanse them; bestow upon them forever Your merciful righteousness. (Betar Tzatag)

Powerful, Holy One, in Your abounding goodness, guide Your congregation. (Chakav Tana)

Only and Exalted One, turn to Your people who are mindful of Your holiness. (Yegal Pazak)

Accept our supplication and hear our cry, You who know secret thoughts. (Shaku Tzis)

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

Master of the worlds, You commanded us to offer the daily offering at its appointed time, and to burn the incense in its time, and that the Kohanim be at their service, the Levi'im on their platform, and Israel at their station. But now, because of our sins, the Beis Hamikdash is destroyed and the daily offering and the incense have ceased, and we have neither a Kohen at his service, nor a Levi on his platform, nor an Israelite at his station.

Therefore, may it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that the words of our lips be considered, accepted and favored before You as though we had offered the daily offering at its appointed time, stood at its station, and burned the incense in its time, as it is said: "Let our lips take the place of bullocks."

And it is said: "This is the law of the burnt-offering, of the meal-offering, of the sin-offering, of the guilt-offering, of the installation-offerings, and of the sacrifice of peace-offerings."

^[1] Which were the places of the offerings? The most holy offerings were slaughtered on the north side. The bull and the he-goat of Yom Kippur were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a ministering vessel on the north side. Their blood required sprinkling between the poles of the Ark, on the curtain, and on the golden altar. The omission of any one of these sprinklings invalidated the atonement. The remainder of the blood he would pour out on the western base of the outer altar; but if he failed to do so, it did not invalidate the atonement.

^[2] The bulls and he-goats that were to be burned were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a ministering vessel on the north side. Their blood required sprinkling on the curtain and on the golden altar. The omission of any one of these sprinklings invalidated the atonement. The remainder of the blood he would pour out on the western base of the outer altar; but if he failed to do so, it did not invalidate the atonement. Both these and those were burned at the place where the ashes were deposited.

^[3] Regarding the sin-offerings of the community and of the individual — these are the communal sin-offerings: the he-goats offered on Rosh Chodesh and on the Festivals. They were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a ministering vessel on the north side. Their blood required four sprinklings, one on each of the four corners of the altar. How was it done? The Kohen ascended the ramp, turned to the ledge, and walked to the southeast corner, then to the northeast, then to the northwest, and then to the southwest. The remainder of the blood he would pour out on the southern base. These offerings were eaten within the curtains of the courtyard, by males of the priesthood, prepared in any manner, on the same day and the following night until midnight.

^[4] The burnt-offering was among the most holy offerings. It was slaughtered on the north side, and its blood was received in a ministering vessel on the north side. Its blood required two sprinklings which constituted four. It had to be flayed and dismembered, and it was entirely consumed by the fire.

^[5] The communal peace-offerings and the guilt-offerings — these are the guilt-offerings: the guilt-offering for robbery; the guilt-offering for misuse of sacred objects; the guilt-offering for violating a betrothed maidservant; the guilt-offering of a Nazirite; the guilt-offering of a leper; and the guilt-offering in case of doubt. They were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a ministering vessel on the north side. Their blood required two sprinklings which constituted

four. They were eaten within the curtains of the courtyard, by males of the priesthood, prepared in any manner, on the same day and the following night until midnight.

^[6] The thanksgiving-offering and the ram of a Nazirite were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the courtyard, and their blood required two sprinklings which constituted four. They were eaten throughout the city, by anyone, prepared in any manner, on the same day and the following night until midnight. The portions of these offerings set aside for the Kohanim were subject to the same law, except that those portions were eaten only by the Kohanim, their wives, their children, and their servants.

^[7] The peace-offerings were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the courtyard, and their blood required two sprinklings which constituted four. They were eaten throughout the city, by anyone, prepared in any manner, during two days and one night. The portions of these offerings set aside for the Kohanim were subject to the same law, except that those portions were eaten only by the Kohanim, their wives, their children, and their servants.

^[8] The firstborn offering, the tithe offering and the Passover offering were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the courtyard, and their blood required only one sprinkling, provided it was done above the base of the altar. They differed in the regulations for their eating: the firstborn was eaten by the Kohanim, and the tithe by anyone. They were eaten throughout the city, prepared in any manner, during two days and one night. The Passover offering was eaten only at night, only until midnight, only by those who had been registered for it, and only roasted.

(Toras Kohanim, beginning of Parshas Vayikra)

Rabbi Yishmael says: The Torah is expounded by means of thirteen rules:

^[1] An inference from a minor to a major case, or from a major to a minor case.

^[2] An inference from similarity of words.

^[3] A general principle derived from one verse, and a general principle derived from two verses.

^[4] A general statement followed by a specification.

^[5] A specification followed by a general statement.

^[6] A general statement followed by a specification and then again by a general statement — you may infer only what is similar to the specification.

^[7] A general statement which requires a specification, and a specification which requires a general statement.

^[8] Whatever is included in a general statement but is specifically excluded to teach something, is excluded not to teach only about itself, but to teach something about the entire general statement.

^[9] Whatever is included in a general statement but is specifically excluded to discuss a provision similar to the general category, is excluded to be more lenient and not more stringent.

^[10] Whatever is included in a general statement but is specifically excluded to discuss a provision not similar to the general category, is excluded to be both more lenient and more stringent.

^[11] Whatever is included in a general statement but is specifically excluded to be dealt with as a new case, cannot be returned to its general statement unless Scripture specifically returns it to its general statement.

^[12] A matter explained by its context, and a matter explained by what follows it.

^[13] Similarly, two verses which contradict each other — until a third verse comes and reconciles them.

May it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that the Beis Hamikdash be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.

Give thanks to the L‑rd, proclaim His Name; make His deeds known among the nations.

Sing to Him, chant praises to Him; speak of all His wonders.

Glory in His holy Name; let the heart of those who seek the L‑rd rejoice.

Seek the L‑rd and His strength; seek His countenance always.

Remember the wonders that He has done, His miracles and the judgments of His mouth,

O seed of Israel His servant, children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

He is the L‑rd our G‑d; His judgments are over all the earth.

Remember His covenant forever, the word He commanded for a thousand generations,

which He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac.

He established it for Jacob as a statute, for Israel as an everlasting covenant, saying:

"To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance,"

when you were but few in number, very few, and strangers in it.

And they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

He permitted no man to wrong them, and He rebuked kings for their sake:

"Do not touch My anointed ones, and do no harm to My prophets."

Sing to the L‑rd, all the earth; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

Recount His glory among the nations, His wonders among all the peoples.

For the L‑rd is great and highly praised; He is awesome above all gods.

For all the gods of the nations are mere idols (pause) but the L‑rd made the heavens.

Majesty and splendor are before Him, strength and joy are in His place.

Render to the L‑rd, O families of nations, render to the L‑rd honor and strength.

Render to the L‑rd the honor due to His Name; bring an offering and come before Him; bow down to the L‑rd in the splendor of holiness.

Tremble before Him, all the earth; indeed, the world is firmly established, it shall not falter.

The heavens will rejoice and the earth will exult; and they will say among the nations, "The L‑rd reigns!"

The sea and its fullness will roar; the field and all that is in it will be jubilant.

Then the trees of the forest will sing before the L‑rd, for He has come to judge the earth.

Give thanks to the L‑rd, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting.

And say: Save us, G‑d of our salvation, gather us

and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to Your holy Name and to glory in Your praise.

Blessed is the L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel, from the beginning of the world to all eternity; and all the people said, "Amen" and "Praise the L‑rd."

Exalt the L‑rd our G‑d and bow down at His footstool; He is holy.

Exalt the L‑rd our G‑d and bow down at His holy mountain, for the L‑rd our G‑d is holy.

He, being merciful, pardons iniquity and does not destroy; time and again He turns away His anger, and does not arouse all His wrath.

May You, L‑rd, not withhold Your mercies from me; may Your kindness and Your truth constantly protect me.

Remember Your mercies, L‑rd, and Your kindnesses, for they have existed forever.

Ascribe strength to G‑d; His majesty is over Israel, and His might is in the skies.

You are awesome, O G‑d, from Your sanctuaries; it is the G‑d of Israel who gives strength and power to the people; blessed is G‑d.

G‑d of retribution, L‑rd; G‑d of retribution, reveal Yourself!

Arise, Judge of the earth; render to the arrogant their recompense.

Deliverance is the L‑rd's; may Your blessing be upon Your people, Selah.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Jacob is a stronghold for us, Selah.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd, help us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Save Your people and bless Your heritage; tend them and exalt them forever.

Our soul yearns for the L‑rd; He is our help and our shield.

For our heart shall rejoice in Him, for we have put our trust in His holy Name.

May Your kindness, L‑rd, be upon us, as we have put our hope in You.

Show us Your kindness, L‑rd, and grant us Your salvation.

Arise, be our help, and redeem us for the sake of Your kindness.

I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Happy is the people whose lot is thus; happy is the people whose G‑d is the L‑rd.

And I have trusted in Your kindness; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the L‑rd, for He has dealt kindly with me.

A Psalm, a song for the dedication of the House, by David.

I exalt You, L‑rd, for You have uplifted me, and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.

L‑rd my G‑d, I cried out to You, and You healed me.

L‑rd, You have brought up my soul from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not descend into the pit.

Sing to the L‑rd, you His pious ones, and give thanks to His holy Name.

For His anger lasts but a moment, there is life in His favor; weeping may tarry for the night, but in the morning there is joyous song.

And I said in my security, "I shall never falter."

L‑rd, by Your favor You established my mountain as a stronghold; when You hid Your face, I was terrified.

To You, L‑rd, I called, and to my L‑rd I appealed.

What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?

Hear, L‑rd, and be gracious to me; L‑rd, be a help to me.

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have loosened my sackcloth and girded me with joy.

So that my soul may sing to You and not be silent; L‑rd my G‑d, I will thank You forever.

PLEASE RISE

The L‑rd is King, the L‑rd was King, the L‑rd will be King forever and ever.

The L‑rd is King, the L‑rd was King, the L‑rd will be King forever and ever.

The L‑rd shall be King over the whole earth; on that day the L‑rd shall be One and His Name One.

Save us, L‑rd our G‑d, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy Name and glory in Your praise.

Blessed is the L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel, from the beginning of the world to all eternity, and let all the people say, "Amen." Praise the L‑rd!

Let every soul praise the L‑rd. Praise the L‑rd!

For the Choirmaster; a Psalm, a song with instrumental music.

May G‑d be gracious to us and bless us;

may He cause His face to shine upon us forever.

that Your salvation may be known among all the nations.

The peoples will thank You, O G‑d; all the peoples will thank You.

The nations will rejoice and sing for joy, for You judge the peoples justly and guide the nations on earth forever.

The peoples will thank You, O G‑d; all the peoples will thank You.

The earth has yielded its produce; may G‑d, our G‑d, bless us.

May G‑d bless us, and may all the ends of the earth fear Him.

Hold the two front tzitzis in hand.

TALKING IS PROHIBITED FROM THIS POINT THROUGH THE AMIDAH

For the sake of the unification of the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shechinah, to unite the Name Yud-Hei with Vav-Hei in perfect unity, in the name of all Israel.

Blessed is He who spoke, and the world came into being;

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, the G‑d, the merciful Father, who is praised by the mouth of His people, lauded and glorified by the tongue of His pious ones and servants. With the songs of David Your servant we will praise You, L‑rd our G‑d; with praises and songs we will exalt, extol and glorify You, and we will proclaim You King and mention Your Name, our King, our G‑d. The only One, Life of the worlds, King, praised and glorified forever is His great Name. Blessed are You, L‑rd, King extolled with praises. (Amen)

KISS THE TZITZIS AND RELEASE THEM FROM THE HAND

A Psalm of thanksgiving.

YOU MAY BE SEATED

May the glory of the L‑rd be forever; may the L‑rd rejoice in His works.

May the Name of the L‑rd be blessed from now and to all eternity.

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the L‑rd's Name is praised.

The L‑rd is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

L‑rd, Your Name is forever; L‑rd, Your remembrance is throughout all generations.

The L‑rd has established His throne in heaven, and His kingship rules over all.

The heavens will rejoice and the earth will exult; and they will say among the nations, "The L‑rd reigns!"

The L‑rd is King, the L‑rd was King, the L‑rd will be King forever and ever.

The L‑rd is King forever and ever; the nations have vanished from His land.

The L‑rd has annulled the counsel of nations; He has foiled the designs of peoples.

Many are the thoughts in a man's heart, but it is the counsel of the L‑rd that will prevail.

The counsel of the L‑rd stands forever, the thoughts of His heart throughout all generations.

For He spoke, and it came into being; He commanded, and it endured.

For the L‑rd has chosen Zion; He desired it for His dwelling place.

For the L‑rd has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel as His treasure.

For the L‑rd will not abandon His people, nor forsake His heritage.

He, being merciful, pardons iniquity and does not destroy; time and again He turns away His anger, and does not arouse all His wrath.

L‑rd, help us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Happy are those who dwell in Your house; they will yet praise You forever.

Happy is the people whose lot is thus; happy is the people whose G‑d is the L‑rd.

A Psalm of praise by David: I will exalt You, my G‑d the King, and bless Your Name forever and ever.

Every day I will bless You, and extol Your Name forever and ever.

The L‑rd is great and highly extolled, and His greatness is unfathomable.

One generation to another will laud

Your works, and tell of Your mighty acts.

I will speak of the splendor of Your glorious majesty and of Your wondrous deeds.

They will proclaim the might of Your awesome acts, and I will recount Your greatness.

They will express the remembrance of Your abounding goodness, and sing of Your righteousness.

The L‑rd is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and of great kindness.

The L‑rd is good to all, and His mercies extend over all His works.

L‑rd, all Your works will give thanks to You, and Your pious ones will bless You.

They will declare the glory of Your kingdom and speak of Your strength,

You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

I will praise the L‑rd with my life; I will sing to my G‑d while I exist.

Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in mortal man who has no power to save.

When his spirit departs, he returns to his earth; on that very day his plans come to naught.

Happy is he whose help is the G‑d of Jacob, whose hope rests upon the L‑rd his G‑d,

who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them; who keeps His promise forever;

The L‑rd is the rebuilder of Jerusalem; He will gather the dispersed of Israel.

He heals the broken-hearted, and binds up their wounds.

He counts the number of the stars; He calls each of them by name.

Great is our Master and abounding in might; His understanding is beyond reckoning.

The L‑rd heartens the humble; He humbles the wicked down to the ground.

Lift your voices to the L‑rd in gratitude; sing to our G‑d with the harp.

He covers the heavens with clouds, He prepares rain for the earth, and makes grass grow upon the mountains.

He gives the animal its food, to the young ravens which cry to Him.

He does not desire those who rely on the strength of the horse, nor does He want those who rely on the thighs of man.

The L‑rd desires those who fear Him, those who yearn for His kindness.

Praise the L‑rd, O Jerusalem; laud your G‑d, O Zion.

For He has strengthened the bolts of your gates; He has blessed your children in your midst.

He has made peace within your borders, and satiates you with the finest of wheat.

He issues His command to the earth; swiftly runs

His word.

He gives snow like fleece; He scatters frost like ashes.

He hurls His ice like crumbs; who can withstand His cold?

He sends forth His command and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.

He tells His words to Jacob, His statutes and ordinances to Israel.

He has not done so for any other nation, and they do not know His ordinances. Praise the L‑rd!

Praise the L‑rd! Praise the L‑rd from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.

Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts.

Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all the shining stars.

Praise Him, heavens of heavens, and the waters that are above the heavens.

Let them praise the Name of the L‑rd, for He commanded and they were created.

He has established them forever, for all time; He issued a decree, and it shall not be transgressed.

Praise the L‑rd from the earth, sea-monsters and all the depths;

fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind carrying out His command;

the mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars;

the beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

kings of the earth and all nations, princes and all judges of the land;

young men as well as maidens, old men together with youths.

Let them praise the Name of the L‑rd, for His Name alone is sublime; His majesty is over the earth and heavens.

He has raised the glory of His people, praise for all His pious ones, for the children of Israel, the people close to Him. Praise the L‑rd!

Let Israel rejoice in its Maker; let the children of Zion delight in their King.

Let them praise His Name with dancing; let them sing to Him with drum and harp.

For the L‑rd desires His people; He adorns the humble with salvation.

Let the pious exult in glory; let them sing upon their beds.

Let the exaltation of G‑d be in their throat, and a double-edged sword in their hand,

to bring retribution upon the nations, punishment upon the peoples;

to bind their kings in chains, and their nobles in iron fetters;

to execute upon them the prescribed judgment; it shall be a glory for all His pious ones. Praise the L‑rd!

Praise the L‑rd! Praise G‑d in His holiness; praise Him in the firmament of His strength.

Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to His abundant greatness.

Praise Him with the call of the shofar; praise Him with harp and lyre.

Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with clanging cymbals.

Let every soul praise the L‑rd. Praise the L‑rd!

Let every soul praise the L‑rd. Praise the L‑rd!

Please rise.

Blessed is the L‑rd forever, Amen and Amen.

Blessed is the L‑rd from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the L‑rd!

Blessed is the L‑rd G‑d, the G‑d of Israel, who alone performs wonders.

Blessed is His glorious Name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with His glory, Amen and Amen.

And David blessed the L‑rd in the presence of all the assembly, and David said: Blessed are You, L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel our father, forever and ever.

Yours, L‑rd, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and on earth is Yours.

Yours, L‑rd, is the kingship, and You are exalted as Head over all.

Wealth and honor come from You, and You rule over all; in Your hand are power and might, and it is in Your hand to make anyone great and strong.

And now, our G‑d, we thank You and praise Your glorious Name.

And let them bless Your glorious Name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

You alone are the L‑rd; You made the heavens, the heavens of heavens and all their hosts, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them, and You give life to them all; and the hosts of

the heavens bow down to You.

You are the L‑rd G‑d who chose Abram, brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans, and named him Abraham.

And You found his heart faithful before You,

and You made the covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his descendants; and You have fulfilled Your word, for You are righteous.

You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry at the Sea of Reeds.

You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his servants and against all the people of his land, for You knew that they acted wickedly against them; and You made a name for Yourself, as it is this day.

You split the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and their pursuers You cast into the depths, like a stone into turbulent waters.

On that day the L‑rd saved Israel from the hand of Egypt, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

And Israel saw the great hand which the L‑rd had wielded against Egypt, and the people feared the L‑rd, and they believed in the L‑rd and in His servant Moses.

Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the L‑rd, and they said: I will sing to the L‑rd, for He is most exalted; the horse and its rider He cast into the sea.

The L‑rd is my strength and song, and He has been my salvation; this is my G‑d and I will glorify Him, the G‑d of my father and I will exalt Him. The L‑rd is a Master of war; L‑rd is His Name.

Pharaoh's chariots and his army He cast into the sea, and his chosen captains were drowned in the Sea of Reeds.

The depths covered them; they sank to the bottom like a stone.

Your right hand, L‑rd, is glorious in power; Your right hand, L‑rd, crushes the enemy.

In Your great majesty You destroy those who rise against You; You send forth Your wrath,

it consumes them like straw.

At the breath of Your nostrils the waters piled up, the flowing waters stood erect like a wall; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, "I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire shall be sated with them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them."

You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like You among the mighty, L‑rd? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders?

You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.

In Your lovingkindness You led the people You redeemed; You guided them in Your strength to Your holy abode.

Nations heard and trembled; terror gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.

Then the chieftains of Edom were dismayed; trembling seized the mighty men of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.

May fear and dread fall upon them; by the great might of Your arm may they be still as a stone, until Your people pass over, L‑rd, until this people You have acquired pass over.

You will bring them and plant them on the mount of Your inheritance, the place You have made for Your dwelling, L‑rd; the Sanctuary, my L‑rd, which Your hands have established.

The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever.

The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever.

The L‑rd — His kingship is established forever and to all eternity.

When Pharaoh's horses with his chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the L‑rd turned back the waters of the sea upon them; and the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

For sovereignty is the L‑rd's, and He rules over the nations.

And deliverers shall go up to Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the kingship shall be the L‑rd's.

The L‑rd shall be King over the whole earth; on that day the L‑rd shall be One and His Name One.

May Your Name be praised forever, our King, the great and holy G‑d and King, in heaven and on earth; for to You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, forever and ever, are fitting song and praise, hymn and psalm, power and dominion, victory, greatness and might, praise and glory, holiness and sovereignty;

blessings and thanksgivings to Your great and holy Name; from the beginning to the end of the world You are G‑d.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, G‑d, King, great and extolled with praises, G‑d of thanksgivings, Master of wonders, Creator of all souls, Ruler of all creatures, who takes pleasure in songs of praise; the only King, the Life of the worlds. (Amen)

A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call to You, L‑rd.

My L‑rd, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to the sound of my pleas.

If You, G‑d, should keep account of iniquities, my L‑rd, who could endure?

But forgiveness is with You, so that You may be held in awe.

I hope in the L‑rd, my soul hopes, and I long for His word.

My soul waits for my L‑rd more than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning.

Let Israel put its hope in the L‑rd, for with the L‑rd there is kindness, and with Him is abundant redemption.

And He will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

HALF KADDISH

Exalted and hallowed be His great Name. (Amen) Throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingship, bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming of His Moshiach. (Amen) In your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon, and say, Amen. (Amen)

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He. (Amen) Beyond all the blessings, hymns, praises and consolations that are uttered in the world; and say, Amen. (Amen)

Bless the L‑rd who is blessed.

Blessed be the L‑rd who is blessed for all eternity.

Blessed be the L‑rd who is blessed for all eternity.

You may be seated.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who forms light and creates darkness, who makes peace and creates all things.

In mercy He gives light to the earth and to those who dwell thereon, and in His goodness renews each day, continuously, the work of creation.

How manifold are Your works, L‑rd! You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your possessions.

The King who alone is exalted from the beginning of time, praised, glorified and extolled from days of old.

Eternal G‑d, in Your abundant mercies have compassion on us, Master of our strength, Rock of our stronghold, Shield of our salvation, be a stronghold for us.

The blessed G‑d, great in knowledge, prepared and made the rays of the sun; the Beneficent One fashioned glory for His Name; He placed luminaries around His majesty; the chiefs of His hosts are holy beings who exalt the Almighty, constantly recounting the glory of G‑d

and His holiness.

Be blessed, L‑rd our G‑d, in the heavens above and on the earth below, for all the praiseworthy work of Your hands and for the light-giving luminaries which You have created; they shall glorify You forever.

Be forever blessed, our Rock, our King and our Redeemer, Creator of holy beings; praised be Your Name forever, our King, Creator of ministering angels, whose ministering angels all stand in the heights of the universe and proclaim aloud, in awe, together in unison, the words of the living G‑d and eternal King.

They are all beloved, all pure, all mighty, all holy, and all perform with dread and awe the will of their Creator.

And they all open their mouths in holiness and purity, with song and melody, and bless and praise, glorify and revere, sanctify and proclaim the sovereignty of

the Name of the G‑d, the great, mighty and awesome King; holy is He.

They all take upon themselves the yoke of the kingship of heaven one from the other, and lovingly grant permission to one another to sanctify their Creator with tranquil spirit, with clear speech and sacred melody.

All as one exclaim in awe and say with reverence:

Holy, holy, holy is the L‑rd of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.

And the Ofanim and the holy Chayos, with a mighty sound, rise toward the Seraphim, and facing them they offer praise and say:

Blessed be the glory of the L‑rd from its place.

To the blessed G‑d they offer melodies; to the King, the living and eternal G‑d, they utter songs and proclaim praises. For He alone is exalted and holy, performs mighty deeds, makes new things, is Master of battles, sows righteousness, causes salvation to spring forth, creates healing, is awesome in praise, the Master of wonders, who in His goodness renews each day, continuously, the work of creation; as it is said: "Give thanks to Him who makes the great lights, for His kindness is everlasting."

Blessed are You, L‑rd, Creator of the luminaries. (Amen)

With everlasting love have You loved us, L‑rd our G‑d; You have bestowed upon us great and abundant compassion.

Our Father, our King,

for the sake of Your great Name and for the sake of our fathers who trusted in You, and whom You taught the laws of life to fulfill Your will with a perfect heart, so too be gracious to us and teach us.

Our Father, merciful Father, who is compassionate, have mercy on us and grant our heart understanding to comprehend and to discern, to hear, to learn and to teach, to observe, to practice and to fulfill all the words of the teachings of Your Torah with love.

Enlighten our eyes in Your Torah, cause our hearts to cleave to Your commandments, and unite our hearts to love and fear Your Name, and may we never be put to shame, nor disgraced, nor caused to stumble, forever and ever.

For we trust in Your holy, great and awesome Name; we will rejoice and exult in Your salvation.

May Your mercies, L‑rd our G‑d, and Your abundant kindnesses never forsake us, forever.

Hasten and bring upon us blessing and peace speedily,

GATHER THE TWO FRONT TZITZIS INTO THE RIGHT HAND, THEN BRING THE BACK LEFT TZITZIS FORWARD THEN THE BACK RIGHT TZITZIS. HOLD ALL FOUR TZITZIS IN THE LEFT HAND NEAR THE HEART.

and bring us in peace from the four corners of the earth, break the yoke of the nations from our neck, and speedily lead us upright to our land. For You are G‑d who performs acts of salvation, and You have chosen us from among all

nations and tongues, and You have, in love, brought us near to Your great Name, our King, that we may thank You and proclaim Your Oneness and love Your Name.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who chooses His people Israel with love.

Cover your eyes while reciting the verse Shema Yisrael

Hear, O Israel, the L‑rd is our G‑d, the L‑rd is One.

The verse Baruch Shem is said in an undertone

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

You shall love the L‑rd your G‑d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart.

You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you rise.

You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes.

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

And it will be, if you will diligently obey My commandments which I command you this day, to love the L‑rd your G‑d and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

I will give rain for your land

at the proper time, the early rain and the late rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine and your oil.

And I will give grass in your field for your cattle, and you will eat and be sated.

Take care lest your heart be lured away, and you turn astray and worship other gods and bow down to them.

For then the L‑rd's wrath will flare up against you, and He will close the heavens so that there will be no rain and the earth will not yield its produce, and you will swiftly perish from the good land which the L‑rd gives you.

Therefore, place these words of Mine upon your heart and upon your soul, and bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes.

You shall teach them to your children, to speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you rise.

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

So that your days and the days of your children may be prolonged on the land which the L‑rd swore to your fathers to give to them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying:

Speak to the children of Israel and tell them to make for themselves tzitzis Kiss the tzitzis on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to attach a thread of blue on the tzitzis Kiss the tzitzis of each corner.

They shall be to you as tzitzis, Kiss the tzitzis and you shall look upon them and remember all the commandments of the L‑rd and fulfill them, and you will not follow after your heart and after your eyes, by which you go astray.

So that you may remember and fulfill all My commandments, and be holy to your G‑d.

I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your G‑d; I am the L‑rd your G‑d.

True, Kiss the tzitzis and certain, established and enduring, right and faithful,

beloved and cherished, delightful and pleasant, awesome and mighty, correct and acceptable, good and beautiful is this matter to us forever and ever.

True, the eternal G‑d, our King, is the Rock of Jacob, the Shield of our salvation. He exists throughout all generations, and His Name endures, and His throne is established, and His kingship and His faithfulness endure forever. Kiss the tzitzis

His words are living and enduring, faithful and desirable, forever Kiss the tzitzis and to all eternity, Release the tzitzis

for our fathers and for us, for our children and for our generations, and for all the generations of the seed of Israel, Your servants.

For the first and for the last generations, it is a good and enduring thing, in truth and in faithfulness, a law that shall not pass away.

True, You are the L‑rd our G‑d and the G‑d of our fathers, our King and the King of our fathers, our Redeemer and the Redeemer of our fathers, our Rock and the Rock of our salvation; our Deliverer and Rescuer — this has ever been Your Name; there is no G‑d besides You, Selah.

You have always been the help of our fathers, a shield and a savior for them and for their children after them in every generation.

Your abode is in the heights of the universe, and Your judgments and Your righteousness extend to the ends of the earth.

True, happy is the man who heeds Your commandments, and takes Your Torah and Your word to heart.

True, You are the Master of Your people and a mighty King to wage their battles, for fathers and sons.

True, You are the first and You are the last, and besides You we have no King, Redeemer and Savior.

True, You redeemed us from Egypt, L‑rd our G‑d, and freed us from the house of bondage.

You slew all their firstborn, and redeemed Israel Your firstborn; You split the Sea of Reeds for them, drowned the arrogant, and brought Your beloved ones across; and the waters engulfed their foes,

not one of them remained. For this, the beloved ones praised

and exalted G‑d, and the cherished ones offered hymns, songs and praises, blessings and thanksgivings to the King, the living and eternal G‑d.

He is high and exalted, great and awesome; He humbles the haughty to the ground and raises the lowly on high; He frees the captives, redeems the humble, helps the needy, and answers His people Israel when they cry out to Him.

Praises to the supreme G‑d, their Redeemer, blessed is He and He is blessed. Moses and the children of Israel raised their voices in song to You with great joy, and they all said:

Who is like You among the mighty, L‑rd? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders?

With a new song the redeemed people praised Your great Name at the seashore; all of them together gave thanks, acknowledged Your sovereignty, and said:

The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever.

And it is said: Our Redeemer, the L‑rd of hosts is His Name, the Holy One of Israel.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who redeemed Israel.

Please rise, take three steps backward and then three steps forward, and stand with feet together during the Amidah prayer.

My L‑rd, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Your praise.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, G‑d of Abraham, G‑d of Isaac and G‑d of Jacob, the great, mighty and awesome G‑d, exalted G‑d, who bestows bountiful kindness, who creates all things, who remembers the piety of the Patriarchs, and who, in love, brings a redeemer to their children's children, for the sake of His Name.

Remember us for life, King who desires life; inscribe us in the Book of Life, for Your sake, O living G‑d.

O King, Helper, Savior and Shield. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Shield of Abraham.

You are mighty forever, my L‑rd; You revive the dead; You are powerful to save.

He causes the dew to descend.

He sustains the living with kindness, revives the dead with great mercy, supports the falling, heals the sick, releases the bound, and keeps His faith with those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, Master of mighty deeds, and who can be compared to You, King who brings death and restores life and causes salvation to flourish!

Who is like You, merciful Father, who in mercy remembers His creatures for life.

You are faithful to revive the dead. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who revives the dead.

You are holy and Your Name is holy, and holy beings praise You every day for all eternity. Blessed are You, L‑rd, the holy King.

You graciously bestow knowledge upon man and teach mortals understanding. Graciously bestow upon us from You wisdom, understanding and knowledge. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who graciously bestows knowledge.

Bring us back, our Father, to Your Torah; draw us near, our King, to Your service; and cause us to return to You in wholehearted repentance. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who desires repentance.

we have transgressed; for You are a good and forgiving G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who is gracious and abundantly forgives.

Behold our affliction and wage our battle; redeem us speedily for the sake of Your Name, for You are a mighty redeeming G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Redeemer of Israel.

Heal us, L‑rd, and we will be healed; help us and we will be saved; for You are our praise. Grant complete cure and healing to all our wounds; for You, Almighty King, are a faithful and merciful healer. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who heals the sick of His people Israel.

Bless for us, L‑rd our G‑d, this year and all the kinds of its produce for good, and bestow blessing upon the face of the earth; satisfy us from Your goodness, and bless our year like the good years, for blessing; for You are a good and beneficent G‑d, and You bless the years. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who blesses the years.

Sound the great shofar for our freedom, raise a banner to gather our exiles, and gather us together from the four corners of the earth into our land. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who gathers the dispersed of His people Israel.

Let there be no hope for informers, and may all the heretics and all the wicked instantly perish; may all the enemies of Your people be speedily cut off; and may You swiftly uproot, break, crush and subdue the kingdom of wickedness, speedily in our days. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who crushes enemies and subdues the wicked.

May Your compassion be aroused, L‑rd our G‑d, upon the righteous, upon the pious, upon the elders of Your people the House of Israel, upon the remnant of their sages, upon the righteous converts, and upon us. Grant ample reward to all who truly trust in Your Name, and place our lot among them; may we never be put to shame, for we have put our trust in You. Blessed are You, L‑rd, the support and security of the righteous.

Return in mercy to Jerusalem Your city and dwell therein as You have promised; speedily establish therein the throne of David Your servant, and rebuild it, soon in our days, as an everlasting edifice. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who rebuilds Jerusalem.

Speedily cause the offspring of David Your servant to flourish, and increase his power through Your salvation, for we hope for Your salvation all day. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who causes the power of salvation to flourish.

Hear our voice, L‑rd our G‑d, merciful Father; have compassion upon us and accept our prayers in mercy and with favor, for You are G‑d who hears prayers and supplications; do not turn us away empty-handed from Your presence, our King, for You hear the prayer of every mouth. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who hears prayer.

We will give thanks to You and recount Your praise, for our lives which are committed into Your hand, for our souls which are entrusted to You, for Your miracles which are with us every day, and for Your wonders and favors at all times — evening, morning and noon. You are the Beneficent One, for Your mercies never cease; and the Merciful One, for Your kindnesses never end; for we always place our hope in You.

And for all these, may Your Name, our King, be continually blessed, exalted and extolled forever and all time.

And inscribe all the children of Your covenant for a good life.

And all living things shall forever thank You, and praise Your great Name eternally, for You are good. G‑d, You are our everlasting salvation and help, O beneficent G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Beneficent is Your Name, and to You it is fitting to offer thanks.

Bestow peace, goodness and blessing, life, graciousness, kindness and mercy, upon us and upon all Your people Israel. Bless us, our Father, all of us as one, with the light of Your countenance, for by the light of Your countenance You gave us, L‑rd our G‑d, the Torah of life and loving-kindness, righteousness, blessing, mercy, life and peace. May it be favorable in Your eyes to bless Your people Israel, at all times and at every moment, with Your peace.

And in the book of life, blessing, peace and good livelihood, salvation, consolation and favorable decrees, may we and all Your people, the House of Israel, be remembered and inscribed before You for a good life and for peace.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who blesses His people Israel with peace.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, my Strength and my Redeemer.

My G‑d, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceitfully. To those who curse me, let my soul be silent; and let my soul be as dust to all. Open my heart to Your Torah, and let my soul eagerly pursue Your commandments. As for all those who plot evil against me, hasten to annul their counsel and frustrate their design. Let them be as chaff before the wind; let the angel of the L‑rd thrust them away. That Your beloved ones may be delivered, help with Your right hand and answer me. Do it for the sake of Your Name; do it for the sake of Your right hand; do it for the sake of Your Torah; do it for the sake of Your holiness. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, my Strength and my Redeemer.

He who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

May it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that the Beis Hamikdash be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, my Strength and my Redeemer.

Please rise.

Our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, may our prayer come before You, and do not turn away from our supplication, for we are not so brazen-faced and stiff-necked as to say before You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that we are righteous and have not sinned; but indeed, we and our fathers have sinned.

While mentioning each transgression, gently strike the left side of the chest with a closed fist

We have transgressed, we have acted treacherously, we have robbed, we have spoken slander. We have acted perversely and wickedly, we have acted presumptuously, we have been violent, we have framed lies. We have given evil counsel, we have deceived, we have scoffed, we have rebelled, we have provoked, we have been disobedient, we have committed iniquity, we have willfully transgressed, we have oppressed, we have been obstinate. We have acted wickedly, we have acted corruptly, we have acted abominably, we have gone astray, and we have led others astray.

We have turned away from Your commandments and from Your good laws, and it has not profited us. You are righteous in all that has come upon us, for You have acted truthfully, and we have acted wickedly.

You are a G‑d slow to anger, You are called the Master of mercy, and You have taught the way of repentance.

The greatness of Your mercy and Your kindness, may You remember today and every day for the descendants of Your beloved ones.

Turn to us in mercy, for You are the Master of mercy.

With supplication and prayer we approach Your presence, as You made known to the humble one [Moshe] of old.

Turn back from Your fierce anger, as it is written in Your Torah.

In the shadow of Your wings may we find shelter and lodge, as on the day when the L‑rd descended in the cloud.

Overlook transgression and erase guilt, as on the day He stood with him there.

Give ear to our cry and hearken to our word, as on the day He proclaimed the Name of the L‑rd, and there it was said:

And the L‑rd passed before him and proclaimed:

L‑rd, L‑rd, benevolent G‑d, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in kindness and truth;

He preserves kindness for two thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression and sin, and He cleanses.

Merciful and gracious One, we have sinned before You; have mercy on us and save us.

The following chapter of Psalms is recited seated and, when in the presence of the Ark, bend your head forward and cover your forehead with the tallis (or sleeve) on your right arm.

By David. To You, L‑rd, I lift up my soul.

My G‑d, in You I have trusted; let me not be shamed; let not my enemies exult over me.

Indeed, none who hope in You will be shamed; let those who betray without cause be shamed.

Make Your ways known to me, L‑rd; teach me Your paths.

Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the G‑d of my salvation; for You I hope all the day.

Remember Your mercies, L‑rd, and Your kindnesses, for they have existed forever.

Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; remember me according to Your kindness, for the sake of Your goodness, L‑rd.

Good and upright is the L‑rd; therefore He instructs sinners in the way.

He guides the humble in justice, and teaches the humble His way.

All the paths of the L‑rd are kindness and truth for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.

For the sake of Your Name, L‑rd, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

Who is the man that fears the L‑rd? Him will He instruct in the way he should choose.

His soul will abide in well-being, and his descendants will inherit the land.

The secret of the L‑rd is with those who fear Him, and He makes His covenant known to them.

My eyes are always toward the L‑rd, for He will release my feet from the net.

Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am alone and afflicted.

The troubles of my heart have increased; bring me out of my distress.

See my affliction and my toil, and forgive all my sins.

See how many my enemies have become, and with what unjust hatred they hate me.

Guard my soul and rescue me; let me not be shamed, for I have taken refuge in You.

Let integrity and uprightness protect me, for I hope in You.

O G‑d, redeem Israel from all its troubles.

And He will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

PLEASE RISE

And He, being merciful, pardons iniquity and does not destroy; time and again He turns back His anger and does not arouse all His wrath.

You, L‑rd, will not withhold Your mercies from us; may Your kindness and Your truth always protect us.

Save us, L‑rd our G‑d, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to Your holy Name and to glory in Your praise.

If You, G‑d, should keep account of iniquities, my L‑rd, who could endure? But forgiveness is with You, so that You may be held in awe.

Do not deal with us according to our sins, and do not repay us according to our iniquities.

Though our iniquities testify against us, L‑rd, act for the sake of Your Name.

Remember Your mercies, L‑rd, and Your kindnesses, for they have existed forever.

May the L‑rd answer us on the day of distress; may the Name of the G‑d of Yaakov fortify us.

L‑rd, save us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Our Father, our King, be gracious to us and answer us, for we have no meritorious deeds; deal with us charitably for the sake of Your Name.

And now, my L‑rd our G‑d, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and made a name for Yourself as of this day, we have sinned, we have acted wickedly.

My L‑rd, in keeping with all Your righteous acts, let Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all those around us.

And now, our G‑d, hear the prayer of Your servant and his supplications, and let Your face shine upon Your desolate Sanctuary, for the sake of my L‑rd.

Incline Your ear, my G‑d, and hear; open Your eyes and behold our desolation and the city upon which Your Name is called; for not on account of our righteous deeds do we cast our supplications before You, but on account of Your abundant mercies.

My L‑rd, hear; my L‑rd, forgive; my L‑rd, hearken and act, do not delay,

for Your own sake, my G‑d, for Your Name is called upon Your city and upon Your people.

Our Father, merciful Father, show us a sign for good and gather our dispersed from the four corners of the earth; let all the nations recognize and know that You are the L‑rd our G‑d.

And now, L‑rd, You are our Father; we are the clay and You are our Potter, and we are all the work of Your hand.

Our Father, our King, our Rock and our Redeemer. Have pity, L‑rd, on Your people, and do not make Your heritage an object of shame, for the nations to rule over them; why should they say among the peoples, "Where is their G‑d?"

We know that we have sinned and there is no one to stand up for us; but let Your great Name stand by us in time of distress.

As a father has compassion on his children, so, L‑rd, have compassion on us and save us for the sake of Your Name.

Have compassion on Your people, have mercy on Your heritage; spare us, please, in Your abundant mercy; be gracious to us and answer us, for righteousness is Yours, L‑rd, who performs wonders at all times.

Look, please, and save the flock of Your pasture; and let not wrath rule over us, for salvation is Yours, L‑rd; in You is our hope, G‑d of forgiveness.

Please, forgive, please, for You are a good and forgiving G‑d.

Please, gracious and merciful King, remember and look to the Covenant Between the Parts, and let the binding of the only son [Yitzchak] appear before You, for the sake of Yisrael our father. Do not forsake us, our Father; do not abandon us, our King; do not forget us, our Creator; and do not bring an end upon us as our sins deserve, in our exile, for You are G‑d, gracious and merciful King.

There is none like You, gracious and merciful, L‑rd our G‑d; there is none like You, G‑d, slow to anger and abounding in kindness and truth. Save us and have mercy on us; rescue us from tumult and from rage.

Remember Your servants Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov; do not turn to our stubbornness, to our wickedness or to our sin.

Turn back from Your fierce anger, and relent of the evil against Your people.

Remove from us the plague of death, for You are merciful, for such is Your way: to show undeserved kindness in every generation.

We beseech You, L‑rd, save us, please.

We beseech You, L‑rd, grant us success, please.

We beseech You, L‑rd, answer us on the day we call.

For You, L‑rd, we have hoped; for You, L‑rd, we have waited; for You, L‑rd, we long. Do not be silent and leave us afflicted, for the nations have said, "Their hope is lost." Every knee shall bend to You, and every one that stands upright shall bow down before You.

You who open Your hand in repentance to receive transgressors and sinners: our soul is terrified by the greatness of our grief. Do not forget us forever; arise and save us.

Do not pour out Your wrath upon us, for we are Your people, the children of Your covenant.

Arouse Your might and save us for the sake of Your Name, and let not our hardships seem small before You.

Let Your mercies come swiftly to meet us in the time of our troubles. Not for our sake, but for Your sake act, and do not destroy the remembrance of our remnant; for our eyes look longingly to You, for You are G‑d, gracious and merciful King. Remember our testimony, as every day, continually, we say twice, with love:

Hear, O Israel, the L‑rd is our G‑d, the L‑rd is One.

L‑rd, G‑d of Israel, turn back from Your fierce anger, and relent of the evil against Your people.

Look down from heaven and see how we have become an object of scorn and derision among the nations; we are regarded as sheep led to the slaughter, to be killed and destroyed, to be beaten and humiliated. Yet despite all this we have not forgotten Your Name; please, do not forget us.

L‑rd, G‑d of Israel, turn back from Your fierce anger, and relent of the evil against Your people.

Strangers say, "There is no expectation and no hope." Be gracious to the nation that hopes in Your Name. Pure One, bring our salvation near. We have toiled and have been given no rest; let Your mercy subdue Your anger from upon us.

Please, turn back from Your anger and have mercy on the treasured people You have chosen.

L‑rd, G‑d of Israel, turn back from Your fierce anger, and relent of the evil against Your people.

Spare us, L‑rd, in Your mercy, and do not deliver us into the hands of cruel ones. Why should the nations say, "Where now is their G‑d?" For Your own sake, show

us kindness, and do not delay.

Please, turn back from Your anger and have mercy on the treasured people You have chosen.

L‑rd, G‑d of Israel, turn back from Your fierce anger, and relent of the evil against Your people.

Hear our voice and be gracious, and do not abandon us into the hand of our enemies to blot out our name. Remember what You swore to our fathers: "I will multiply your offspring like the stars of the heavens" — yet now we are left few out of many. Yet despite all this we have not forgotten Your Name; please, do not forget us.

L‑rd, G‑d of Israel, turn back from Your fierce anger, and relent of the evil against Your people.

Help us, G‑d of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of Your Name; rescue us and atone for our sins for Your Name's sake.

L‑rd, G‑d of Israel, turn back from Your fierce anger, and relent of the evil against Your people.

Guardian of Israel, guard the remnant of Israel, and let not Israel perish — those who say, "Hear, O Israel."

Guardian of the unique nation, guard the remnant of the unique people, and let not the unique nation perish — those who proclaim the unity of Your Name: "The L‑rd is our G‑d, the L‑rd is One."

Guardian of the holy nation, guard the remnant of the holy people, and let not the holy nation perish — those who recite the threefold sanctification to the Holy One.

You who are appeased by prayers for mercy and reconciled by supplications: be appeased and reconciled to the afflicted generation, for there is no one to help.

The Ark is closed

We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.

Remember Your mercies, L‑rd, and Your kindnesses, for they are from everlasting.

May Your kindness, L‑rd, be upon us, as we have placed our hope in You.

Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let Your mercies come swiftly toward us, for we have been brought very low.

Be gracious to us, L‑rd, be gracious to us, for we have been fully sated with contempt.

In wrath, remember to be merciful; in wrath, remember the binding [of Yitzchak]; in wrath, remember the wholehearted [Yaakov]; in wrath, remember love.

L‑rd, save us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

For He knows our nature; He remembers that we are dust.

Help us, G‑d of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of Your Name; rescue us and atone for our sins for the sake of Your Name.

Exalted and hallowed be His great Name. (Amen) Throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingship, bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming of His Moshiach. (Amen) In your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon, and say, Amen. (Amen)

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He. (Amen) Beyond all the blessings, hymns, praises and consolations that are uttered in the world; and say, Amen. (Amen)

G‑d, slow to anger and abounding in kindness and truth, do not rebuke us in Your anger. Spare Your people, L‑rd, and save us from all evil. We have sinned against You, Master; forgive, please, in accordance with Your abundant mercy, O G‑d.

And it came to pass whenever the Ark set out, Moses would say: Arise, O L‑rd, and let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee before You.

For Torah shall come forth from Zion, and the word of the L‑rd from Jerusalem. Blessed is He who in His holiness gave the Torah to His people Israel.

Blessed is the Name of the Master of the universe; blessed is Your crown and the place of Your majesty. May Your goodwill be with Your people Israel forever; show Your people the redemption of Your right hand in Your Holy Temple. Bestow upon us of Your good light, and accept our prayers in mercy. May it be Your will to prolong our life in well-being, and let me be counted among the righteous, so that You will have compassion on me and protect me and all that is mine and all that is Your people Israel's. You are He who nourishes all and sustains all; You are He who rules over all.

You are He who rules over kings, and sovereignty is Yours.

I am a servant of the Holy One, blessed be He, and I bow before Him and before His glorious Torah at all times.

At all times; not in man do I put my trust, nor do I rely on any angel, but only on the G‑d of heaven, who is the G‑d of truth, whose Torah is truth, whose prophets are truth, and who abounds in doing deeds of goodness and truth.

In Him I put my trust, and to His holy and glorious Name I utter praises.

May it be Your will to open my heart to the Torah, and to fulfill the wishes of my heart and the heart of all Your people Israel for good, for life, and for peace.

Exalt the L‑rd with me, and let us extol His Name together.

Yours, L‑rd, is the greatness, the power, the beauty, the victory and the splendor, for all in heaven and on earth is Yours. Yours, L‑rd, is the kingship, and You are exalted as Head over all.

Exalt the L‑rd our G‑d and bow down at His footstool; holy is He. Exalt the L‑rd our G‑d and bow down at His holy mountain, for the L‑rd our G‑d is holy.

May the merciful Father have compassion on the people borne by Him, and remember the covenant with the mighty ones (the Patriarchs); may He deliver our souls from evil times, banish the evil inclination from those carried by Him, graciously grant us eternal deliverance, and fulfill our requests in good measure, with salvation and mercy.

May His kingship be revealed and become visible upon us soon, and may He be gracious to our remnant and the remnant of His people, the House of Israel, granting them grace, kindness, mercy and favor; and let us say, Amen. All ascribe greatness to our G‑d and give honor to the Torah. Kohen, come forward. Arise, (name) son of (father's name), the Kohen.

Blessed is He who in His holiness gave the Torah to His people Israel.

And you who cleave to the L‑rd your G‑d are all alive today.

Parshas Vezos Haberachah PAGE 563

Devarim, Chapter 33

Kohen

1 And this is the blessing with which Moshe, the man of G‑d, blessed the children of Israel before his death.

2 He said: The L‑rd came from Sinai and shone forth to them from Seir; He appeared from Mount Paran, and came with some of the holy myriads; from His right hand came a fiery Law for them.

3 Indeed, He loves the tribes; all His holy ones are in Your hand, and they placed themselves at Your feet, bearing [the yoke of] Your words.

4 Moshe commanded us the Torah, an inheritance of the congregation of Yaakov.

5 And He was King in Yeshurun, when the heads of the people gathered, the tribes of Israel together.

6 May Reuven live and not die, and may his men be counted in number.

7 And this to Yehudah, and he said: Hear, L‑rd, the voice of Yehudah, and bring him to his people; may his hands fight for him, and may You be a help against his foes.

Levi
8 And of Levi he said: Your Tumim and Your Urim belong to Your pious one, whom You tested at Massah and with whom You contended at the waters of Merivah;

9 who said of his father and his mother, "I have not seen him," and did not acknowledge his brothers, nor know his own children; for they observed Your word and kept Your covenant.

10 They shall teach Your ordinances to Yaakov and Your Torah to Israel; they shall place incense before You, and whole burnt offerings upon Your altar.

11 Bless, L‑rd, his strength, and favor the work of his hands; crush the loins of those who rise against him and of his enemies, that they rise no more.

12 Of Binyamin he said: The beloved of the L‑rd shall dwell securely by Him; He shelters him all day long, and He dwells between his shoulders.

Yisrael

13 And of Yosef he said: Blessed by the L‑rd is his land, with the bounty of the heavens, with dew, and with the deep that lies below;

14 with the bounty of produce ripened by the sun, and with the bounty yielded each month; 15 with the choicest of the ancient mountains, and with the bounty of the everlasting hills;

16 with the bounty of the earth and its fullness, and the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush. May these come upon the head of Yosef, upon the crown of the one set apart from his brothers.

17 His firstborn bull — majesty is his, and his horns are the horns of a wild ox; with them he shall gore nations together, to the ends of the earth. These are the myriads of Ephraim, and these are the thousands of Menasheh.

Bless the L‑rd who is blessed.

Blessed be the L‑rd who is blessed for all eternity.

Blessed be the L‑rd who is blessed for all eternity.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has chosen us from among all the nations and given us His Torah.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who gives the Torah.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has given us the Torah of truth and planted eternal life within us.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who gives the Torah.

Kohen

9 You are standing today, all of you, before the L‑rd your G‑d: your heads, your tribes, your elders and your officers, every man of Israel;

10 your little ones, your wives, and the stranger who is in the midst of your camp, from the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water;

11 that you may enter into the covenant of the L‑rd your G‑d and into His oath, which the L‑rd your G‑d is making with you this day;

Levi

12 in order to establish you this day as His people, and that He be your G‑d, as He spoke to you and as He swore to your fathers, to Avraham, to Yitzchak and to Yaakov.

13 And not with you alone do I make this covenant and this oath,

14 but with whoever is here standing with us this day before the L‑rd our G‑d, and with whoever is not here with us this day.

Yisrael

15 For you know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the midst of the nations through which you passed;

16 and you saw their abominations and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were with them;

17 lest there be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from the L‑rd our G‑d, to go and serve the gods of those nations; lest there be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;

18 and it shall be, when he hears the words of this oath, that he will bless himself in his heart, saying, "I shall have peace, though I follow the willfulness of my heart" — so as to add the sated to the thirsty.

19 The L‑rd will not be willing to forgive him; rather, then the anger of the L‑rd and His jealousy will fume against that man, and every curse written in this book will rest upon him, and the L‑rd will blot out his name from under the heavens.

20 And the L‑rd will set him apart for evil from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the Torah.

21 And the later generation, your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who will come from a distant land, will say, when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses with which the L‑rd has afflicted it —

22 its whole land brimstone and salt, a burning, not sown and not sprouting, where no grass can grow, like the overthrow of Sedom and Amorah, Admah and Tzevoyim, which the L‑rd overthrew in His anger and in His wrath —

23 all the nations will say, "Why has the L‑rd done thus to this land? What is the meaning of this great burning anger?"

24 And they will say, "Because they forsook the covenant of the L‑rd, the G‑d of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt;

25 and they went and served other gods and bowed down to them, gods whom they did not know and whom He had not allotted to them.

26 So the anger of the L‑rd flared against that land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book.

27 And the L‑rd uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath and in great fury, and cast them into another land, as it is this day."

28 The hidden things belong to the L‑rd our G‑d, but the revealed things belong to us and to our children forever, to fulfill all the words of this Torah.

Exalted and hallowed be His great Name. (Amen) Throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingship, bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming of His Moshiach. (Amen) In your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon, and say, Amen. (Amen)

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He. (Amen) Beyond all the blessings, hymns, praises and consolations that are uttered in the world; and say, Amen. (Amen)

PLEASE RISE FOR THE LIFTING OF THE TORAH AND SAY:

This is the Torah which Moses placed before the children of Israel.

It is a tree of life for those who hold fast to it, and those who support it are fortunate.

Its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all its paths are peace.

Long life is in its right hand; in its left are riches and honor.

The L‑rd desired, for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and glorious.

Happy are those who dwell in Your house; they will yet praise You forever.

Happy is the people whose lot is thus; happy is the people whose G‑d is the L‑rd.

A Psalm of praise by David: I will exalt You, my G‑d the King, and bless Your Name forever and ever.

Every day I will bless You, and extol Your Name forever and ever.

The L‑rd is great and highly extolled, and His greatness is unfathomable.

One generation to another will laud Your works, and tell of Your mighty acts.

I will speak of the splendor of Your glorious majesty and of Your wondrous deeds.

They will proclaim the might of Your awesome acts, and I will recount Your greatness.

They will express the remembrance of Your abounding goodness, and sing of Your righteousness.

The L‑rd is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and of great kindness.

The L‑rd is good to all, and His mercies extend over all His works.

L‑rd, all Your works will give thanks to You, and Your pious ones will bless You.

They will declare the glory of Your kingdom and speak of Your strength,

to make known to men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom.

Your kingship is a kingship over all worlds, and Your dominion is throughout all generations.

The L‑rd supports all who fall, and straightens all who are bent.

The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food at the proper time.

You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

The L‑rd is righteous in all His ways, and benevolent in all His deeds.

The L‑rd is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.

He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him, hears their cry and saves them.

The L‑rd watches over all who love Him, and will destroy all the wicked.

My mouth will utter the praise of the L‑rd, and let all flesh bless His holy Name forever and ever.

And we will bless the L‑rd from now to eternity. Praise the L‑rd!

For the Choirmaster, a psalm by David.

May the L‑rd answer you on the day of distress; may the Name of the G‑d of Yaakov fortify you.

May He send your help from the Sanctuary and support you from Zion.

May He remember all your offerings and accept your burnt-offering with favor, forever.

May He grant you your heart's desire and fulfill your every plan.

We will sing for joy at your salvation and raise our banners in the Name of our G‑d; may the L‑rd fulfill all your requests.

Now I know that the L‑rd has saved His anointed one; He answers him from His holy heavens with the mighty saving acts of His right hand.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we invoke the Name of the L‑rd our G‑d.

They bend and fall, but we rise and stand firm.

L‑rd, save us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

A redeemer shall come to Zion and to those in Jacob who turn from transgression, says the L‑rd.

And as for Me, this is My covenant with them, says the L‑rd: My spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have placed in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your children, nor from the mouth of your children's children, says the L‑rd, from now and forever.

And You, Holy One, are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

And they call one to another and say: "Holy, holy, holy is the L‑rd of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory." And they receive permission one from the other and say:

"Holy in the highest heavens, the abode of His Divine Presence; holy upon earth, the work of His might; holy forever and to all eternity

is the L‑rd of hosts; the whole earth is full of the radiance of His glory."

Then a wind lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great roaring sound: "Blessed be the glory of the L‑rd from its place."

Then a wind lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great rushing sound of those who uttered praise, saying: "Blessed be the glory of the L‑rd from the place of the abode of His Divine Presence."

The L‑rd will reign forever and ever.

The L‑rd, His kingship is established forever and to all eternity.

L‑rd, G‑d of

Abraham, Isaac and Israel our fathers, keep this forever as the desire of the thoughts of Your people's heart, and direct their heart to You.

And He, being compassionate, pardons iniquity and does not destroy; time and again He turns away His anger, and does not arouse all His wrath.

For You, my L‑rd, are good and forgiving, and abundantly kind to all who call upon You.

Your righteousness is everlasting righteousness, and Your Torah is truth.

Grant truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from the days of old.

Blessed is my L‑rd, who day by day bears our burden; He is G‑d, our salvation forever.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Jacob is our everlasting stronghold.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd, help us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Blessed is He, our G‑d, who created us for His glory, separated us from those who go astray,

gave us the Torah of truth and planted eternal life within us. May He open our heart to His Torah, and instill in our heart love and fear of Him, to do His will and to serve Him with a perfect heart, so that we shall not toil in vain, nor bring forth confusion.

And so may it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that we observe Your statutes in this world, and be worthy to live and see and inherit goodness and blessing in the two eras of the days of Moshiach and the life of the World to Come.

So that my soul may sing to You and not be silent; L‑rd my G‑d, I will thank You forever.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the L‑rd, and the L‑rd will be his security.

Trust in the L‑rd forever, for in G‑d the L‑rd is the strength of the worlds.

And those who know Your Name will trust in You, for You have not forsaken those who seek You, O L‑rd.

The L‑rd desired, for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and glorious.

KADDISH TISKABAIL

Exalted and hallowed be His great Name. (Amen) Throughout the world which He has created according to His will.

Let them praise the Name of the L‑rd, for His Name alone is exalted.

Congregation responds:

His majesty is over the earth and the heavens. He has raised the glory of His people, the praise of all His pious ones, the children of Israel, the people close to Him. Praise the L‑rd.

AFTER THE ARK IS CLOSED YOU MAY BE SEATED

A prayer of David:

Incline Your ear, L‑rd, answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Guard my soul, for I am pious; You, my G‑d, save Your servant who trusts in You.

Be gracious to me, my L‑rd, for to You I call all the day.

Gladden the soul of Your servant, for to You, my L‑rd, I lift up my soul.

For You, my L‑rd, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.

Give ear, L‑rd, to my prayer, and hearken to the voice of my supplications.

On the day of my distress I call upon You, for You will answer me.

There is none like You among the heavenly powers, my L‑rd, and nothing like Your works.

All the nations which You have made will come and bow down before You, my L‑rd, and will give honor to Your Name.

For You are great and perform wonders; You alone are G‑d.

Teach me Your way, L‑rd, that I may walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your Name.

I will thank You, my L‑rd, my G‑d, with all my heart, and I will honor Your Name forever.

For Your kindness toward me is great, and You have saved my soul from the lowest depths of the grave.

O G‑d, arrogant men have risen against me, and a band of ruthless men have sought my life, and they have not set You before them.

But You, my L‑rd, are a G‑d compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in kindness and truth.

Turn to me and be gracious to me; grant Your strength to Your servant, and save the son of Your handmaid.

Show me a sign of favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, because You, L‑rd, have helped me and comforted me.

House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the L‑rd.

For all the nations walk each in the name of its god, but we walk in the Name of the L‑rd our G‑d forever and ever.

May the L‑rd our G‑d be with us as He was with our fathers; may He not leave us nor forsake us;

to incline our hearts to Him, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes and His laws, which He commanded our fathers.

May these words of mine, which I have supplicated before the L‑rd, be near to the L‑rd our G‑d day and night, that He may maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, each day's need in its day;

so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the L‑rd is G‑d; there is none else.

A Song of Ascents, by David.

Were it not for the L‑rd who was with us, let Israel declare,

were it not for the L‑rd who was with us when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning rage against us.

Then the waters would have inundated us, the torrent would have swept over our soul;

then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.

Blessed is the L‑rd, who did not permit us to be prey for their teeth.

Our soul is like a bird which has escaped from the fowler's snare; the snare broke and we escaped.

Our help is in the Name of the L‑rd, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Today is the second day of the week, on which the Levi'im would recite in the Beis Hamikdash:

A song, a psalm by the sons of Korach.

Great is the L‑rd and highly praised in the city of our G‑d, His holy mountain.

Beautiful in landscape, the joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion, on the northern slopes, the city of the great King.

In her citadels, G‑d is known as a stronghold.

For behold, the kings assembled, they advanced together.

They saw and were astounded; they were terrified and fled in haste.

Trembling seized them there, pangs as of a woman in childbirth;

as with an east wind, You shatter the ships of Tarshish.

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the L‑rd of hosts, in the city of our G‑d; may G‑d establish it forever, Selah.

G‑d, we have meditated on Your kindness within Your Sanctuary.

As Your Name, G‑d, so is Your praise, to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the towns of Judah exult, because of Your judgments.

Walk around Zion and encircle it; count its towers.

Consider well its ramparts, behold its palaces, that you may recount it to a later generation.

For this is G‑d, our G‑d, forever and ever; He will guide us beyond death.

Save us, L‑rd our G‑d, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy Name and glory in Your praise.

Blessed is the L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel, to all eternity; and all the people said: Amen, praise the L‑rd.

Blessed is the L‑rd from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem; praise the L‑rd.

Blessed is the L‑rd G‑d, the G‑d of Israel, who alone performs wonders.

Blessed is His glorious Name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with His glory, Amen and Amen.

1 By David. The L‑rd is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear? The L‑rd is the strength of my life — whom shall I dread?

2 When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, my oppressors and my foes, it was they who stumbled and fell.

3 Should an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; should war rise against me, in this I trust.

4 One thing I have asked of the L‑rd, this I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the L‑rd all the days of my life, to behold the pleasantness of the L‑rd and to visit His Sanctuary.

5 For He will hide me in His shelter on the day of adversity; He will conceal me in the hidden place of His tent; He will lift me up upon a rock.

6 And now my head will be raised above my enemies around me, and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with joyous shouts; I will sing and chant praises to the L‑rd.

7 L‑rd, hear my voice when I call; be gracious to me and answer me.

8 On Your behalf my heart says, “Seek My face”; Your face, L‑rd, I will seek.

9 Do not hide Your face from me; do not turn Your servant away in anger. You have been my help; do not abandon me nor forsake me, G‑d of my salvation.

10 Though my father and my mother have forsaken me, the L‑rd will take me in.

11 L‑rd, teach me Your way, and lead me on a straight path because of those who lie in wait for me.

12 Do not deliver me to the will of my oppressors, for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe violence.

13 Had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the L‑rd in the land of the living!

14 Hope in the L‑rd; be strong and let your heart take courage, and hope in the L‑rd.

Hope in the L‑rd; be strong and let your heart be valiant, and hope in the L‑rd.

There is none holy as the L‑rd, for there is none besides You, and there is no rock like our G‑d.

For who is G‑d except the L‑rd, and who is a rock except our G‑d?

There is none like our G‑d; there is none like our L‑rd; there is none like our King; there is none like our Savior.

Who is like our G‑d? Who is like our L‑rd? Who is like our King? Who is like our Savior?

Let us give thanks to our G‑d; let us give thanks to our L‑rd; let us give thanks to our King; let us give thanks to our Savior.

Blessed is our G‑d; blessed is our L‑rd; blessed is our King; blessed is our Savior.

You are our G‑d; You are our L‑rd; You are our King; You are our Savior; You will save us.

You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to be gracious to her; the appointed time has come.

You are the L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, before whom our fathers burned the offering of incense.

The compounding of the incense.

(1) The balm

(2) and the onycha

(3) the galbanum

(4) and frankincense, each weighing seventy maneh;

(5) myrrh,

(6) cassia,

(7) spikenard,

(8) and saffron, each weighing sixteen maneh;

(9) costus, twelve;

(10) aromatic bark, three;

(11) cinnamon, nine.

Lye of Carshina, nine kav; Cyprus wine, three se'ah and three kav — and if one has no Cyprus wine, he brings old white wine.

Salt of Sodom, a quarter kav; maaleh ashan [a smoke-raising herb], a minute amount.

Rabbi Nassan the Babylonian says:

Also a minute amount of Jordan amber. If one put honey into it, he rendered it unfit; and if he left out any one of all its ingredients, he is liable to death.

Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says:

The balm is nothing but a resin

which drips from the balsam trees. The lye of Carshina was used to rub the onycha, to make it beautiful; the Cyprus wine was used to steep the onycha, to make it pungent. Would not urine be well suited for it? But urine is not brought into the Beis Hamikdash, out of respect.

It was taught in the school of Elijah: Whoever studies Torah laws every day is assured of a place in the World to Come, for it is said: "The ways of the world are his"; do not read halichos (ways) but halachos (laws).

Rabbi Elazar said in the name of Rabbi Chanina: Torah scholars increase peace in the world, as it is said: "And all your children will be learned in the Torah of the L‑rd, and great will be the peace of your children."

Do not read banayich (your children), but bonayich (your builders).

Those who love Your Torah have abundant peace, and there is no stumbling for them.

May there be peace within your walls, serenity within your palaces.

For the sake of my brethren and friends, I ask that there be peace within you.

For the sake of the House of the L‑rd our G‑d, I seek your good.

The L‑rd will give strength to His people; the L‑rd will bless His people with peace.

He who makes peace (During the Ten Days of Teshuvah: the peace) in His heavens, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. (Amen)

It is upon us to praise the Master of all, to ascribe greatness to the Creator of the beginning, that He has not made us like the nations of the lands, nor set us like the families of the earth; that He has not made our portion like theirs, nor our lot like that of all their multitudes.

for they bow to vanity and nothingness.

But we bend the knee, bow down and offer praise before the Supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He,

who stretches forth the heavens and establishes the earth, the seat of whose glory is in the heavens above, and the abode of whose majesty is in the loftiest heights. He is our G‑d; there is none else.

Truly He is our King; there is nothing besides Him, as it is written in His Torah:

"Know this day and take unto your heart that the L‑rd is G‑d; in the heavens above and upon the earth below there is nothing else."

And therefore we hope to You, L‑rd our G‑d, that we may speedily behold the splendor of Your might, to banish idolatry from the earth, and the false gods will be utterly destroyed; to perfect the world under the sovereignty of the Almighty;

and all mankind shall invoke Your Name, to turn to You all the wicked of the earth.

Then all the inhabitants of the world will recognize and know that every knee should bend to You, every tongue should swear by Your Name.

Before You, L‑rd our G‑d, they will bow and prostrate themselves, and give honor to the glory of Your Name; and they will all take upon themselves the yoke of Your kingdom. May You soon reign over them forever and ever, for kingship is Yours, and to all eternity You will reign in glory, as it is written in Your Torah:

"The L‑rd will reign forever and ever."

And it is said: "The L‑rd shall be King over the whole earth; on that day the L‑rd shall be One and His Name One."

To your old age I am He, and to your hoary years I will sustain you; I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.

Indeed, the righteous will extol Your Name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.

Tehillim, chapter 112

1 Praise the L‑rd! Fortunate is the man who fears the L‑rd, who greatly desires His commandments.

2 His descendants will be mighty in the land; a generation of upright men who will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Even in darkness a light shines for the upright, for he is gracious, compassionate and righteous.

5 Good is the man who is gracious and lends; he conducts his affairs with justice.

6 For he will never falter; the righteous man will be an everlasting remembrance.

7 He will not fear an evil report; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the L‑rd.

8 His heart is steadfast, he will not fear, until he sees his oppressors' downfall.

9 He has distributed, he has given to the needy; his righteousness endures forever; his strength will be exalted in honor.

10 The wicked man will see and be vexed; he will gnash his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked will perish.

Tehillim for the 5th day of the month

Tehillim, Chapter 29

1 A psalm of David. Render to the L‑rd, you children of the mighty, render to the L‑rd glory and strength.

2 Render to the L‑rd the glory due His Name; bow down to the L‑rd in the splendor of holiness.

3 The voice of the L‑rd is over the waters; the G‑d of glory thunders; the L‑rd is over many waters.

4 The voice of the L‑rd is in power; the voice of the L‑rd is in majesty.

5 The voice of the L‑rd breaks cedars; the L‑rd shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Siryon like a young wild ox.

7 The voice of the L‑rd cleaves flames of fire.

8 The voice of the L‑rd makes the desert tremble; the L‑rd makes the desert of Kadesh tremble.

9 The voice of the L‑rd causes the hinds to calve and strips the forests bare; and in His Sanctuary all proclaim, "Glory!"

10 The L‑rd sat enthroned at the Flood; the L‑rd sits as King forever.

11 The L‑rd will give strength to His people; the L‑rd will bless His people with peace.

Tehillim, Chapter 30

1 A psalm, a song for the dedication of the House, by David.

2 I will exalt You, L‑rd, for You have drawn me up, and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

3 L‑rd my G‑d, I cried out to You, and You healed me.

4 L‑rd, You brought up my soul from the grave; You kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

5 Sing to the L‑rd, you His pious ones, and give thanks to His holy Name.

6 For His anger lasts but a moment, there is life in His favor; weeping may lodge for the night, but in the morning there is joyous song.

7 And I said in my tranquility, "I shall never falter."

8 L‑rd, by Your favor You established my mountain as a stronghold; when You hid Your face, I was terrified.

9 To You, L‑rd, I called, and to my L‑rd I made supplication:

10 "What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?

11 Hear, L‑rd, and be gracious to me; L‑rd, be a help to me."

12 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have loosened my sackcloth and girded me with joy,

13 so that my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. L‑rd my G‑d, I will thank You forever.

Tehillim, Chapter 31

1 For the Conductor, a psalm by David.

2 In You, L‑rd, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; in Your righteousness, rescue me.

3 Incline Your ear to me, save me speedily; be for me a rock of strength, a fortress to save me.

4 For You are my rock and my fortress; for the sake of Your Name, lead me and guide me.

5 Free me from the net they have hidden for me, for You are my stronghold.

6 Into Your hand I entrust my spirit; You have redeemed me, L‑rd, G‑d of truth.

7 I hate those who cling to worthless vanities, but I trust in the L‑rd.

8 I will exult and rejoice in Your kindness, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the troubles of my soul.

9 You have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place.

10 Be gracious to me, L‑rd, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted away with vexation, my soul and my body.

11 For my life is spent in sorrow and my years in sighing; my strength has failed because of my iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.

12 Because of all my adversaries I have become a disgrace, and exceedingly so to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me.

13 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I have become like a lost vessel.

14 For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side; when they take counsel together against me, they plot to take my life.

15 But I trust in You, L‑rd; I say, "You are my G‑d."

16 My times are in Your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my pursuers.

17 Let Your face shine upon Your servant; save me in Your kindness.

18 L‑rd, let me not be put to shame, for I have called upon You; let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silenced in the grave.

19 Let lying lips be struck dumb, which speak arrogantly against the righteous, with pride and contempt.

20 How great is Your goodness which You have stored away for those who fear You, which You have done for those who take refuge in You, in the sight of men!

21 You hide them in the shelter of Your presence from the schemes of men; You conceal them in a shelter from the strife of tongues.

22 Blessed is the L‑rd, for He has shown me His wondrous kindness in a besieged city.

23 And I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before Your eyes"; yet You heard the voice of my supplications when I cried out to You.

24 Love the L‑rd, all His pious ones; the L‑rd preserves the faithful, and repays in full measure the one who acts with arrogance.

25 Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the L‑rd.

Tehillim, Chapter 32

1 By David, a maskil. Fortunate is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered over.

2 Fortunate is the man to whom the L‑rd does not reckon iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 When I kept silent, my bones wore away through my groaning all day long.

4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was turned as in the droughts of summer, Selah.

5 I made my sin known to You, and did not cover up my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the L‑rd," and You forgave the iniquity of my sin, Selah.

6 For this let every pious one pray to You at a time when You may be found; only that the flood of many waters not reach him.

7 You are a shelter for me; You preserve me from distress; You surround me with songs of deliverance, Selah.

8 I will enlighten you and instruct you in the way you should go; I will counsel you, with My eye upon you.

9 Do not be like a horse, like a mule, without understanding, whose mouth must be restrained with bit and bridle when it is adorned, so that it not come near you.

10 Many are the pains of the wicked, but he who trusts in the L‑rd is surrounded by kindness.

11 Rejoice in the L‑rd and exult, you righteous ones, and sing joyously, all you upright in heart.

Tehillim, Chapter 33

1 Sing joyously to the L‑rd, you righteous ones; praise is fitting for the upright.

2 Give thanks to the L‑rd with the harp; sing to Him with the ten-stringed lyre.

3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with sounds of jubilation.

4 For the word of the L‑rd is upright, and all His deeds are done in faithfulness.

5 He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the kindness of the L‑rd.

6 By the word of the L‑rd the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their hosts.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea like a mound; He places the depths in storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the L‑rd; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

9 For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.

10 The L‑rd annuls the counsel of nations; He thwarts the designs of peoples.

11 The counsel of the L‑rd stands forever, the thoughts of His heart through all generations.

12 Fortunate is the nation whose G‑d is the L‑rd, the people He has chosen as His heritage.

13 From heaven the L‑rd looks down; He sees all mankind.

14 From His dwelling place He watches over all the inhabitants of the earth.

15 He who fashions the hearts of them all, who understands all their deeds.

16 A king is not saved by a great army; a mighty man is not rescued by great strength.

17 A horse is a false hope for victory; with all its great strength it provides no escape.

18 Behold, the eye of the L‑rd is upon those who fear Him, upon those who hope for His kindness,

19 to rescue their soul from death and to sustain them in famine.

20 Our soul yearns for the L‑rd; He is our help and our shield.

21 For in Him our heart rejoices, for in His holy Name we have trusted.

22 May Your kindness, L‑rd, be upon us, as we have hoped in You.

Tehillim, Chapter 34

1 By David, when he feigned madness before Avimelech, who drove him away, and he left.

2 I will bless the L‑rd at all times; His praise is always in my mouth.

3 My soul glories in the L‑rd; let the humble hear and rejoice.

4 Exalt the L‑rd with me, and let us extol His Name together.

5 I sought the L‑rd and He answered me, and from all my fears He delivered me.

6 They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not put to shame.

7 This poor man called, and the L‑rd heard, and saved him from all his troubles.

8 The angel of the L‑rd encamps around those who fear Him and rescues them.

9 Taste and see that the L‑rd is good; fortunate is the man who takes refuge in Him.

10 Fear the L‑rd, you His holy ones, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

11 Young lions are in want and go hungry, but those who seek the L‑rd shall not lack any good.

12 Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the L‑rd.

13 Who is the man who desires life, who loves days in which to see good?

14 Guard your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

15 Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

16 The eyes of the L‑rd are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.

17 The face of the L‑rd is set against evildoers, to cut off their remembrance from the earth.

18 They cried out and the L‑rd heard, and He rescued them from all their troubles.

19 The L‑rd is near to the brokenhearted, and He saves those crushed in spirit.

20 Many are the misfortunes of the righteous, but the L‑rd rescues him from them all.

21 He guards all his bones; not one of them is broken.

22 Evil will slay the wicked, and the enemies of the righteous will be condemned.

23 The L‑rd redeems the soul of His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

Three chapters — 5 Tishrei

Tehillim, Chapter 100

1 A psalm of thanksgiving. Call out to the L‑rd, all the earth.

2 Serve the L‑rd with joy; come before Him with song.

3 Know that the L‑rd is G‑d; He made us and we are His, His people and the flock of His pasture.

4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving, His courtyards with praise; give thanks to Him, bless His Name.

5 For the L‑rd is good; His kindness is everlasting, and His faithfulness is for all generations.

Tehillim, Chapter 101

1 Of David, a psalm. Of kindness and justice I will sing; to You, L‑rd, I will chant praise.

2 I will contemplate the way of integrity — when will it come to me? I will walk with wholeness of heart within my house.

3 I will not set any base thing before my eyes; I hate the doing of those who turn aside; it shall not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil.

5 One who slanders his neighbor in secret, him I will cut off; one of haughty eyes and arrogant heart, him I cannot bear.

6 My eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; one who walks in the way of integrity, he shall serve me.

7 One who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; one who speaks falsehood shall not stand firm before my eyes.

8 Each morning I will cut off all the wicked of the land, to eliminate from the city of the L‑rd all the workers of iniquity.

Tehillim, Chapter 102

1 A prayer of the afflicted one when he is faint, and pours out his plea before the L‑rd.

2 L‑rd, hear my prayer, and let my cry come to You.

3 Do not hide Your face from me on the day of my distress; incline Your ear to me; on the day I call, answer me speedily.

4 For my days are consumed in smoke, and my bones are scorched like a hearth.

5 My heart is smitten and withered like grass, for I have forgotten to eat my bread.

6 From the sound of my sighing, my bones cleave to my flesh.

7 I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl of the ruins.

8 I lie awake, and have become like a lone bird upon a roof.

9 All day long my enemies revile me; those who mock me curse by my name.

10 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with weeping,

11 because of Your wrath and Your anger, for You have lifted me up and cast me down.

12 My days are like a lengthening shadow, and I wither like grass.

13 But You, L‑rd, are enthroned forever, and Your remembrance endures for all generations.

14 You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to be gracious to her, for the appointed time has come.

15 For Your servants cherish her stones and hold her dust dear.

16 Then the nations will fear the Name of the L‑rd, and all the kings of the earth Your glory.

17 For the L‑rd has built Zion; He has appeared in His glory.

18 He has turned to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

19 Let this be written for a later generation, so that a people yet to be created will praise the L‑rd.

20 For He has looked down from His holy height; from heaven the L‑rd gazed upon the earth,

21 to hear the groan of the prisoner, to set free those condemned to death,

22 to proclaim the Name of the L‑rd in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem,

23 when peoples are gathered together, and kingdoms, to serve the L‑rd.

24 He has weakened my strength along the way; He has shortened my days.

25 I say: My G‑d, do not take me away in the midst of my days; Your years endure throughout all generations.

26 Of old You founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

27 They will perish, but You will endure; they will all wear out like a garment; You will change them like clothing, and they will pass away.

28 But You are the same, and Your years will never end.

29 The children of Your servants will abide, and their offspring will be established before You.

Mishnayos

(7) If one immersed a bed in it, even though its legs sink into the thick mud, it is pure, because the water touches them first.

A mikveh whose water is shallow: one may press down even bundles of wood, even bundles of reeds, so that the water may rise, and then go down and immerse. A needle that is lying on the steps of the cave: if one moved it back and forth in the water, once a wave has passed over it, it is pure.

Rabbi Chananya ben Akashya says: The Holy One, blessed be He, wished to grant merit to Israel; therefore He gave them Torah and mitzvos in abundance, as it is said: The L‑rd desired, for the sake of his [Israel's] righteousness, to make the Torah great and glorious.

Tefillin of Rabbeinu Tam

Hear, O Israel, the L‑rd is our G‑d, the L‑rd is One.

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

You shall love the L‑rd your G‑d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart.

You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise.

You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes.

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

(Deuteronomy 11:13-21)

And it will be, if you will diligently obey My commandments which I command you this day, to love the L‑rd your G‑d and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

I will give rain for your land at the proper time, the early rain and the late rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine and your oil.

And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be sated.

Take care lest your heart be lured away, and you turn astray and worship other gods and bow down to them.

For then the L‑rd's wrath will flare up against you, and He will close the heavens so that there will be no rain and the earth will not yield its produce, and you will swiftly perish from the good land which the L‑rd gives you.

Therefore, place these words of Mine upon your heart and upon your soul, and bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes.

You shall teach them to your children, to speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise.

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates,

so that your days and the days of your children may be prolonged on the land which the L‑rd swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying:

Speak to the children of Israel and tell them to make for themselves tzitzis on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to attach a thread of blue on the tzitzis of each corner.

They shall be to you as tzitzis, and you shall look upon them and remember all the commandments of the L‑rd and fulfill them, and you will not follow after your heart and after your eyes, after which you go astray,

so that you may remember and fulfill all My commandments and be holy to your G‑d.

I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your G‑d; I am the L‑rd your G‑d. It is true.

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying:

Sanctify to Me every firstborn, the first issue of every womb among the children of Israel, of man and of beast; it is Mine.

Moses said to the people: Remember this day on which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for with a strong hand the L‑rd brought you out from here; no leavened bread shall be eaten.

Today you are going out, in the month of spring.

And it shall be, when the L‑rd brings you into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you shall perform this service

in this month.

Seven days you shall eat matzos, and on the seventh day there shall be a festival to the L‑rd.

Matzos shall be eaten throughout the seven days; no leavened bread shall be seen in your possession, nor shall leaven be seen in your possession, in all your borders.

And you shall tell your son on that day, saying: It is because of this that the L‑rd did for me when I went out of Egypt.

And it shall be for you as a sign upon your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, so that the Torah of the L‑rd may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the L‑rd brought you out of Egypt.

You shall observe this statute at its appointed time, from year to year.

And it shall be, when the L‑rd brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as He swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,

you shall set apart for the L‑rd every first issue of the womb; and every firstling of cattle that you will have, the males shall be the L‑rd's.

Every firstling of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it, you shall break its neck; and every firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.

And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, "What is this?" you shall say to him: With a strong hand the L‑rd brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, that the L‑rd slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man to the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to the L‑rd every male first issue of the womb, and every firstborn of my sons I redeem.

And it shall be as a sign upon your hand and as tefillin between your eyes, for with a strong hand the L‑rd brought us out of Egypt.

So that you may remember the day you went out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

Only take heed and guard your soul diligently, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; make them known to your children and to your children's children:

the day you stood before the L‑rd your G‑d at Horeb.

Remember what Amalek did to you on the way, when you came out of Egypt;

how he met you on the way and cut down all the weak who straggled behind you, when you were faint and weary, and he did not fear G‑d.

Therefore, when the L‑rd your G‑d has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land which the L‑rd your G‑d gives you as an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens; you shall not forget.

Remember, do not forget, how you provoked the L‑rd your G‑d to anger in the wilderness.

Remember what the L‑rd your G‑d did to Miriam on the way, when you came out of Egypt.

Remember the Shabbos day to sanctify it.
