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.

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.

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.

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.

^[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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

Pardon us, our Father, for we have sinned; forgive us, our King, for

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.

Restore our judges as at first and our counselors as in the beginning; remove from us sorrow and sighing; and reign over us, You alone, L‑rd, with kindness and compassion, with righteousness and justice. Blessed are You, L‑rd, the King of judgment.

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.

Look with favor, L‑rd our G‑d, on Your people Israel and pay heed to their prayer; restore the service to the inner sanctuary of Your House, and accept with love and favor Israel's fire-offerings and prayer; and may the service of Your people Israel always find favor.

May our eyes behold Your return to Zion in mercy. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who restores His Divine Presence to Zion.

We thankfully acknowledge that You are the L‑rd our G‑d and the G‑d of our fathers forever. You are the strength of our life, the shield of our salvation in every generation. 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.

(Amen) Beyond all the blessings, hymns, praises and consolations that are uttered in the world; and say, Amen. (Amen)

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!

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. May He establish His kingship, bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming of His Moshiach.

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

The L‑rd is King; He has garbed Himself with grandeur; the L‑rd has robed Himself, He has girded Himself with strength; He has also established the world firmly that it shall not falter.

Your throne stands firm from of old; You have existed forever.

The rivers have raised, O L‑rd, the rivers have raised their voice; the rivers raise their raging waves.

More than the sound of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea, is the L‑rd mighty on high.

Your testimonies are most trustworthy; holiness befits Your House, O L‑rd, for all time.

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.

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.

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."

Indeed, the righteous will extol Your Name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.

Tehillim, chapter 20

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 Jacob fortify you.

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

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

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

We will rejoice in your deliverance, and raise our banners in the Name of our G‑d; may the L‑rd fulfill all your wishes.

Now I know that the L‑rd has delivered His anointed one, answering him from His holy heavens with the mighty saving power 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, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

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 9th day [of the month]

Tehillim, Chapter 49

1 For the Conductor, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.

2 Hear this, all you peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world —

3 sons of common man and sons of nobility alike, rich and poor together.

4 My mouth will speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart is understanding.

5 I will incline my ear to a parable; I will set forth my riddle with the lyre.

6 Why should I fear in days of evil, when the iniquity [I trod upon] with my heels surrounds me?

7 [There are] those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches.

8 Yet a man cannot redeem his brother, nor give his ransom to G‑d.

9 Too costly is the redemption of their soul, and one must forever let it be,

10 that he should live on eternally and never see the grave.

11 For he sees that wise men die; the fool and the senseless perish together, and leave their wealth to others.

12 Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever, their dwellings for all generations; they call their lands by their own names.

13 But man in his glory does not endure; he is likened to the beasts that perish.

14 This is their way, their folly is with them; yet those who come after them approve of their words, Selah.

15 Like sheep they are destined for the grave; death shall shepherd them, and the upright shall rule over them in the morning; their form shall waste away in the grave, far from its dwelling.

16 But G‑d will redeem my soul from the grip of the grave, for He will take me, Selah.

17 Do not fear when a man grows rich, when the glory of his house increases;

18 for when he dies he will take nothing along; his glory will not descend after him.

19 Though in his lifetime he blesses his own soul, and men praise you when you do well for yourself,

20 it shall come to the generation of his fathers; they shall never again see light.

21 Man who is in glory but does not understand is likened to the beasts that perish.

Tehillim, Chapter 50

1 A psalm of Asaph. The Almighty, G‑d, the L‑rd, has spoken and called to the earth, from the rising of the sun to its setting.

2 Out of Zion, perfect in beauty, G‑d has shone forth.

3 Our G‑d will come and will not keep silent; a fire devours before Him, and all around Him it storms fiercely.

4 He calls to the heavens above, and to the earth, to judge His people:

5 “Gather to Me My pious ones, who made a covenant with Me over sacrifice.”

6 And the heavens declared His righteousness, for G‑d is Judge, Selah.

7 “Hear, My people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you: I am G‑d, your G‑d.

8 Not for your sacrifices will I rebuke you, nor for your burnt‑offerings, which are always before Me.

9 I will not take a bull from your house, nor he‑goats from your pens.

10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, the cattle upon a thousand mountains.

11 I know every bird of the mountains, and the creatures of the field are with Me.

12 Were I hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and all that fills it is Mine.

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer thanksgiving to G‑d, and pay your vows to the Most High.

15 And call upon Me on the day of distress; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

16 But to the wicked G‑d said: “What right have you to recount My statutes and to bear My covenant upon your lips?

17 For you hate discipline, and you cast My words behind you.

18 When you saw a thief you ran along with him, and your lot was with adulterers.

19 You let loose your mouth for evil, and your tongue weaves deceit.

20 You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.

21 These things you have done, and I kept silent; you imagined that I was just like you. I will rebuke you and set it out before your eyes.

22 Understand this now, you who forget G‑d, lest I tear you apart and there be none to rescue.

23 He who offers thanksgiving honors Me, and to him who sets his way aright I will show the salvation of G‑d.”

Tehillim, Chapter 51

1 For the Conductor, a psalm by David.

2 when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

3 Be gracious to me, O G‑d, according to Your kindness; according to Your abundant mercies, erase my transgressions.

4 Wash me thoroughly of my iniquity, and cleanse me of my sin.

5 For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

6 Against You alone have I sinned, and done what is evil in Your eyes; so that You are just when You speak and right when You judge.

7 Indeed, I was formed in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

8 Indeed, You desire truth in the inward parts; teach me wisdom in the hidden places of my heart.

9 Purge me with hyssop and I shall be pure; wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

10 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.

11 Hide Your face from my sins, and erase all my iniquities.

12 Create a pure heart for me, O G‑d, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

13 Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your holy spirit from me.

14 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and let a generous spirit sustain me.

15 I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.

16 Save me from bloodguilt, O G‑d, G‑d of my salvation; my tongue will sing joyously of Your righteousness.

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

18 For You do not desire sacrifice, else I would give it; You do not want a burnt‑offering.

19 The sacrifices of G‑d are a broken spirit; a broken and crushed heart, O G‑d, You will not despise.

20 In Your goodwill, do good to Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.

21 Then You will desire offerings of righteousness, burnt‑offering and whole‑offering; then they will offer up bulls upon Your altar.

Tehillim, Chapter 52

1 For the conductor, a maskil of David,

2 when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, saying to him: “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”

3 Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The kindness of G‑d endures all day long.

4 Your tongue devises ruin, like a sharpened razor, working deceit.

5 You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking righteousness, Selah.

6 You love all devouring words, a deceitful tongue.

7 G‑d will likewise shatter you forever; He will snatch you up and pluck you out of your tent, and uproot you from the land of the living, Selah.

8 The righteous will see it and be in awe, and they will laugh at him:

9 “Here is the man who did not make G‑d his stronghold, but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong in his treachery.”

10 But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of G‑d; I trust in the kindness of G‑d forever and ever.

11 I will thank You forever, for You have done it; and I will hope in Your Name, for it is good, before Your pious ones.

Tehillim, Chapter 53

1 For the conductor, on machalas, a maskil of David.

2 The fool says in his heart, “There is no G‑d.” They have acted corruptly and done abominable wrong; there is none who does good.

3 G‑d looked down from heaven upon mankind, to see whether there is any man of understanding who seeks G‑d.

4 Every one of them has turned away, together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.

5 Do the workers of iniquity not know, those who devour My people as they eat bread, and do not call upon G‑d?

6 There they were seized with fear where there had been nothing to fear, for G‑d has scattered the bones of those who encamp against you; you have put them to shame, for G‑d has rejected them.

7 O that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When G‑d returns the captivity of His people, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

Tehillim, Chapter 54

For the conductor, with instrumental music, a maskil of David.

2 when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding among us?”

3 O G‑d, save me by Your Name, and vindicate me by Your might.

4 O G‑d, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

5 For strangers have risen against me, and tyrants seek my life; they have not set G‑d before them, Selah.

6 Behold, G‑d is my helper; my L‑rd is among those who uphold my soul.

7 He will repay the evil to those who lie in wait for me; in Your truth, cut them off.

8 With a free‑will offering I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks to Your Name, L‑rd, for it is good.

9 For He has rescued me from every trouble, and my eye has seen the downfall of my enemies.

Three chapters — 9 Tishrei

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.

8 His heart is steadfast, he will not fear, until he sees his oppressors' downfall.

1. Praise the L‑rd! Give praise, you servants of the L‑rd; praise the Name of the L‑rd.
2. May the Name of the L‑rd be blessed from now and forever.
3. From the rising of the sun to its setting, the Name of the L‑rd is praised.
4. The L‑rd is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.
5. Who is like the L‑rd our G‑d, who dwells on high,
6. who looks down so low upon heaven and earth?
7. He raises the poor from the dust; He lifts the needy from the dunghill,
8. to seat them with nobles, with the nobles of His people.
9. He makes the barren woman dwell in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the L‑rd!
Tehillim, Chapter 114
1. When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Yaakov from a people of a foreign tongue,
2. Yehudah became His holy one, Israel His dominion.
3. The sea saw and fled; the Jordan turned back.
4. The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
5. What is with you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?
6. You mountains, that you skip like rams; you hills, like young sheep?
7. Tremble, O earth, before the Master, before the G‑d of Yaakov,
8. who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.

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.
