מִי שֶׁבֵּירַךְ אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן וְדָוִד וּשְׁלֹמֹה׃ הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת כׇּל־הַקְּהִלּוֹת הַקְּדוֹשׁוֹת וְהַטְּהוֹרוֹת, גְּדוֹלִים וּקְטַנִּים הֵם וּבְנֵיהֶם וּנְשֵׁיהֶם וְתַלְמִידֵיהֶם וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר לָהֶם׃ |
May the One who blessed our ancestors, Avraham, Yitsḥaq, and Yaaqov, Mosheh and Aharon, David and Shlomo; bless all the holy and pure congregations, both great and small; they, their children, wives, disciples, and all belonging to them. |
מַלְכָּא דְעָֽלְמָא הוּא יְבָרֵךְ יַתְהוֹן וִיזַכֶּה יַתְהוֹן וְיִשְּׁמַע בְּקָל צְלֽוֹתְהוֹן וִיקַיֵּם בָּהֶם מִקְרָא שֶׁכָּתוּב יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵכֶם יֹסֵף עֲלֵיכֶם כָּכֶם אֶלֶף פְּעָמִים וִיבָרֵךְ אֶתְכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר לָכֶם (דברים א:יא) (בשרת ימי תשובה אומרים: וְיִכְתְּבֵם בְּסֵפֶר חַיִּים טוֹבִים) וְכֵן יְהִי רָצוֹן וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן׃ |
May the supreme King of the universe, bless them and purify them; and hearken to the voice of their supplication: so that he may fulfil in them, what is written, [that] “YHVH, eloah of your ancestors make you a thousand times as many more as you are, and bless you as he has promised you.” (Deuteronomy 1:11) (During the Penitential Days, say also: And may Hashem write them in the book of life.) Which in Hashem’s infinite mercy grant: and let us say, amen. |
This is the mi sheberakh prayer, the Brakhah la’Qehilot, (Blessing for All the Jewish Congregations [worldwide]) as found in Seder haTefilot: The Order of the Daily Prayers in Hebrew and English According to the Custom of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews (1789, 2nd ed. 1810) p. 130v-131r. I have re-Hebraized names, replaced archaisms, and made other minor edits to the translation. –Aharon Varady

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
![Reading [the Torah]
JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq -- Chaplain (Capt.) Sarah Schechter, 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing rabbi, describes the newly arrived Jewish Torah following a Torah dedication ceremony at Gilbert Memorial Chapel here March 21. A Torah is a big parchment leather scroll on which the Five Books of Moses are handwritten in Hebrew. For thousands of years, this is how Jews have maintained their law, teachings, religion and society.
