מִי שֶׁבֵּרֵךְ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב וְאִמּוֹתֵינוּ שָׂרָה רִבְקָה רָחֵל וְלֵאָה, הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת כָּל יַלְדֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַיּוֹצְאִים לְחֻפְשָׁתָם הַשְּׁנָתִית, וְאֶת כָּל הַמּוֹרִים וְהַהוֹרִים הַמְּסַיְּמִים יַחַד אִתַּם אֶת שְׁנַת הַלִּמּוּדִים. יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ שֶׁתּוֹלִיכֵם לְשָׁלוֹם וְתַצְעִידֵם לְשָׁלוֹם וְתַגִיעַם לִשְׁנַת הַלִּמּוּדִים הַבָּאָה לְאַחַר מְנוּחָה וּבְכוֹחוֹת מְחֻדָּשִׁים. |
May he who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and our foremothers Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel and Leah bless all of us, the students, as we go out to our yearly vacation, and all of our parents and teachers who are finishing the school year with us. We hope that you will let us walk in peace and guide us in peace, and bring us back to the next school year after rest and with renewed insight. |
מְקוֹר הַבְּרָכָה יַעֲנִיק לָהֶם בִּינָה וְדַעַת לְהַמְשִׁיךְ לִצְמֹחַ, לְהִסְתַּקְרֵן, לִלְמֹד וְלַחֲקֹר אֶת הָעוֹלָם לְפִי קִצְבָּם, וְיוֹסִיפוּ לְגַלּוֹת אֶת יְפִי הָעוֹלָם דֶּרֶך עֵינַיִם מְלֵאוֹת פְּלִיאָה וְלֵב מְלֵא חֶסֶד. |
May the source of blessing give us wisdom and knowledge so we can continue to grow, investigate, learn, and explore the world at our pace, and may we continue to discover the beauty of the world through eyes full of wonder and a heart full of loving-kindness. |
יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָֹה, וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ יָאֵר יְהוָֹה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ יִשָּׂא יְהוָֹה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם. |
May YHVH bless you and guard you. May YHVH make their face shed light upon you and be gracious unto you. May YHVH lift up their face unto you and give you peace.[1] Numbers 6:23-27 |

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.
