מי שברך לסיום קריאת התורה | Mi sheBerakh for Completion of Reading the Entire Torah, by Cantor Ethan Levin Goldberg

A “Mi Sheberakh” prayer for someone who completed public chanting of the entire Torah over the course of thirty years. It takes inspiration from the standard Mi Sheberakh for an aliyah, the “hadran” ritual for a siyyum, and quotes Exodus 24:7.

מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ

הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת (______),
בַּעֲבוּר שֶׁעָלָה לַתּוֹרָה לִכְבוֹד הַמָּקוֹם

May the one who blessed our ancestors

bless (______),
who came up to the Torah in honor of God,

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ ה׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ,
כְּשֵׁם שֶׁעֲזַרְתָּהוּ לְסַיֵּם הַקְּרִיאָה,
כֵּן תְּעַזְּרֵהוּ לְהַתְחִיל מְסֶכְּתוֹת וּסְפָרִים אֲחֵרִים וּלְסַיֵּמָם,
לִלְמֹד וּלְלַמֵּד,
לִשְׁמֹר וְלַעֲשׂוֹת
וּלְקַיֵּם אֶת כָּל דִּבְרֵי תַּלְמוּד תּוֹרָתֶךָ בְּאַהֲבָה,
שֶׁלֹּא תָּמוּשׁ הַתּוֹרָה מִפִּיו וּמִפִּי זַרְעוֹ עַד עוֹלָם.
May it be your will Adonai our God,
that just as you helped him to complete the reading,
so may you help him begin other tractates and books and finish them,
to learn and to teach,
to guard and to do,
and to fulfill all the words of Your Torah in love,
so words of Torah will never leave his and his descendants’ mouth.
וַיִּתְקַיֵּם בּוֹ הַכָּתוּב:
“וַיִּקַּח סֵפֶר הַבְּרִית
וַיִּקְרָא בְּאָזְנֵי הָעָם
וַיֹּאמְרוּ
כֹּל אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר ה׳
נַעֲשֶׂה וְנִשְׁמָע.” (שמות כד:ז)
וּבִשְׂכַר זֶה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא
יִשְׁמְרֵהוּ וְיַצִּילֵהוּ
מִכָּל צָרָה וְצוּקָה
וּמִכָּל נֶגַע וּמָחֲלָה
וְיִשְׁלַח בְּרָכָה וְהַצְלָחָה
בְּכָל מַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו
עִם כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶחָיו וְאַחַיּוֹתָיו
וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן:
Fulfill through him the verse:
“He took the book of the covenant
and read it in the ears of the people,
and they said
‘Everything that Adonai spoke
we will do and we will listen.’” (Exodus 24:7)
By this merit may the Holy Blessed One
protect and rescue him
from all distress and sorrow,
and from all affliction and disease,
and send blessing and success
to all his endeavors,
along with all his fellow Jews,
and let us say: Amen.
