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

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.

Ze'ev Kainan

Ze'ev is the coordinator of the Elul program and manages and supervises every element of the month-long seminar for rabbinical students from the United States. Before arriving in Hanaton, Ze'ev was the CEO of Keren Malki - an Israeli nonprofit organization that assists families of children with special needs, and the director of education and special projects in the Hatikvati network. Ze'ev worked for years with youth and was a delegate to the Ramah camps (California, Canada, Poconos, and the Rama Seminary in Israel) as well as other JCC camps. From 1997 to 2000, he served as a central emissary for the USY movement in North America, on behalf of the Jewish Agency. He later served as the director of the youth movement of the Masorti Movement in Israel for seven years and is also the editor of the siddur "Ani Tefilati - Siddur Yisraeli" and the "Poteach Sha'ar" Machzor for the High Holidays of the Masorti Movement. Ze'ev was born and raised in the religious kibbutz of Sa'ad in the northern Negev, three kilometers east of Gaza City and now lives in Jerusalem with his wife, Dr. Lisa Keinan and their three children - all graduates of Noam.

Masorti Movement in Israel

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.
