אַהֲבָה רַבָּה אֲהַבְתָּנוּ יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ. בְּאַהֲבָה נִבְרֵאנוּ וּבָאנוּ אֶל עוֹלָמְךָ, וַתִּתֵּן לָנוּ חַיִּים וּבָהֶם יֹפִי, חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת. |
You have loved us with a great love, o YHVH our elo’ah. With love we were created, and with love we came into your world. You gave us life – a life of beauty, kindness, and truth. |
וְהָאֵר עֵינֵנוּ לִרְאוֹת, וְלָשׁוּב וְלִרְאוֹת אֶת אֵלֶּה בְּעוֹלָמְךָ, וְדַבֵּק לִבֵּנוּ בִּקְדֻשָּׁתָם שֶׁל חַיֵּינוּ וְשֶׁל חַיֵּי כָּל הַבְּרוּאִים. |
Enlighten our eyes that we may see them in your world, every single day. May our hearts cling to the sanctity of our own lives and to the sanctity of the lives of all created beings. |
וְלֹא תִּקְהֶה בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ הַפְּלִיאָה מִפֶּלֶא הַבְּרִיאָה וְלֹא תֵּעָלֵם מִלִּבֵּנוּ הַיִּרְאָה לְנֹכַח קְדֻשָּׁתָהּ, וְלֹא תִּרְפֶּה רוּחֵנוּ לַעֲמֹל וּלְכוֹנֵן צֶדֶק, שָׁלוֹם וּרְפוּאָה בְּכָל אֲשֶׁר נֵלֵךְ, בְּשָׁכְבֵנוּ וּבְקוּמֵנוּ וּבְהוֹלְכֵנוּ בַּדֶּרֶךְ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה הַנּוֹתֵן חַיִּים בְּאַהֲבָה. |
May the wonder within never fade, the wonder of creation May awe of its holiness never disappear from our hearts. May our spirit never tire of the struggle to establish justice, peace, and healing wherever we might wander when we lie down when we rise and when we are on our way. You are blessed, YHVH, You who lovingly gives us life. |

Support this work:
The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libré 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. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
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
