רִבּוֹן עוֹלָמִים וֶאֱלֹהֵי שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ, אֲשֶׁר הִבְטַחְתָּנוּ ”וְנָטַעְתִּי אֶתְכֶם וְלֹא אֶתּוֹשׁ“ (ירמיהו מב:י חלק) חַזֵּק־נָא יָדֵינוּ בְּבוֹאֵנוּ לָטַעַת בְּאַדְמַת אַרְצֶךָ וּלְהַעֲמִיק שֹׁרֶשׁ בְּקַרְקַע אַרְצֵנוּ, בְּהַמְשִׁיכֵנוּ אֶת מַעֲשֶׂה אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ, כַּכָּתוּב: ”וַיִּטַּע אֶשֶׁל בִּבְאֵר שָׁבַע.“ (בראשית כא:לג חלק)	Master of worlds and elo’ah of Heaven and Earth that has promised us: “I will plant you and not uproot you,”^[1] Jeremiah 42:10 partial may you strengthen our hands as we come to plant in the soil of your land, and to deepen our roots in the earth of our land, by continuing to do the deeds of Avraham our forefather, as it is written “And he planted a tamarisk in Be’er Shava.”^[2] Genesis 21:33 partial
בָּרֵךְ אֶת נְטִיעוֹתֵינוּ וְהַעֲמֵק שָׁרְשֵׁיהֶן כְּדִבְרֵי נְבִיאֵיךָ: ”וְאָנֹכִי נְטַעְתִּיךְ שׂוֹרֵק, כֻּלֹּה זֶרַע אֱמֶת,“ (ירמיהו ב:כא חלק) ”וְכָרַתִּי לָהֶם בְּרִית שָׁלוֹם…“ (יחזקאל לז:כו חלק) ”וְהוֹרַדְתִּי הַגֶּשֶׁם בְּעִתּוֹ, גִּשְׁמֵי בְרָכָה יִהְיוּ.“ (יחזקאל לד:כו חלק)	May you bless our plantings and deepen their roots, as your prophet said: “I planted you with noble vines, all with choicest seed,”^[3] Jeremiah 2:21 partial “I will make a covenant of peace with them…”^[4] Ezekiel 37:26 partial “…and I will cause the rainshowers to fall in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.”^[5] Ezekiel 34:26 partial
וִיהִי רָצוֹן שֶׁיִּתְקַיֵּם בָּנוּ, בְּבָנֵינוּ וּבְנוֹתֵינוּ מִקְרָא שֶׁכָּתוּב: ”וְשַׂשְׂתִּי עֲלֵיהֶם לְהֵטִיב אוֹתָם וּנְטַעְתִּים בָּאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת בֶּאֱמֶת.“ (ירמיהו לב:מא חלק)	And may it be your will that you will cause this to occur for our sons and daughters, as the Scripture says: “I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in truth.”^[6] Jeremiah 32:41 partial
הַנּוֹטְעִים בְּרִנָּה – בְּגִילָה יִבְצֹרוּ! וּתְנֵנוּ בִּמְהֵרָה בְּיָמֵינוּ אִישׁ תַּחַת גַּפְנוֹ וְתַחַת תְּאֵנָתוֹ, וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן.	Those who sow in joy, may they harvest in happiness! And may you place, quickly in our day, everyone under their vine and under their fig tree. And may we say Amen.

Masorti Movement in Israel

HaTenu'ah haMasortit (התנועה המסורתית, the Masorti Movement in Israel) creates opportunities for all Jews to live Jewish lives in Israel unhindered, and on their own terms. It is a religious movement based on values of inclusion combined with traditional practice and Halakha (Jewish Law). Masorti represents a “third” way. Not secular Judaism. Not ultra-Orthodoxy. But a Jewish life that integrates secular beliefs. Halakhah with inclusion and egalitarianism. Tradition that recognizes the realities of today’s world. The Masorti Movement is committed to a pluralistic, egalitarian, and democratic vision of Zionism. Masorti engages tens of thousands of Israelis each year, young and old, native born as well as olim from around the globe.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of volunteer contributors, or its institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.

ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." –Psalms 90:17
