מִי שֶׁחוֹנֵן לְאָדָם דַּעַת
וּמְלַמֵּד לֶאֱנוֹשׁ בִּינָה
הוּא יִתֵּן בְּלִבְּכֶם חָכְמָה תְּבוּנָה וְדֵעָה.
יִפְקַח אֶת עֵינֵיכֶם לְגִלּוּי חָדָשׁ בְּכׇל יוֹם,
לְיָפְיוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם,
לְעָצְמָתָהּ שֶׁל הַבְּרִיאָה,
לִפְעִימָתוֹ שֶׁל הַלֵּב,
וּלְכֹחוֹ שֶׁל הַחֶסֶד.
May the One who grants knowledge to humans
and teaches understanding to people
to place in their hearts wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge.
May the One open your eyes to a new revelation each day,
to the beauty of the world,
to the power of creation,
to the beating of the heart,
and to the potential of lovingkindness.
יְבָרְכְכֶם יהוה וְיִשְׁמָרְכֶם.
יָאֵר יהוה פָּנָיו אֲלֵיכֶם וִיחֻנּכֶם.
יִשָּׂא יהוה פָּנָיו אֲלֵיכֶם וְיָשֵׂם לָכֶם שָׁלוֹם.
May YHVH bless them and protect them
May YHVH shine Their face towards them and be gracious to them
May YHVH lift Their face towards them and grant them peace.
הַמַּלְאָךְ הַגֹּאֵל אֹתִי מִכׇּל רָע
יְבָרֵךְ אֶת הַנְּעָרִים וְהַנְּעָרוֹת
וְיִקָּרֵא בָהֶם שְׁמִי
וְשֵׁם אֲבֹתַי וְאִמּוֹתַי
אַבְרָהָם וְשָׂרָה יִצְחָק וְרִבְקָה
וְיִדְגּוּ לָרֹב בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ׃
May the angel who redeemed me from all evil
Bless the young people
And may my name be recalled in them,
and the name of my ancestors
Avraham and Sarah, Yitsḥaq and Rivqah
And may they grow into a multitude throughout the earth.
