	Mi sheBerakh Avoteinu Avraham Yiztchak veYa’akov, ve’Imoteinu Sarah Rivkah, Rachel, veLeah – May the One who blessed our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah, bless this scribe who has, through the commitment of her heart, devotion of her soul, and skill of her hands, invited us to return to Torah, turn with Torah, and turn Torah over and over again.
	Please, God, sweeten the words of Torah in our mouths and in the mouths of all people. May we all, old and young, touch the Sacred and be preserved and strengthened.
	We thank You, Adonai, for the privilege of experiencing the overflowing well of Torah, and for the sweetness of those who give it life.
	May this Soferet, our friend and teacher, be blessed to do her work in this world experiencing abundant safety, security, and love. May she only know the grace she bestows on her People Israel, her community who needs her gift so very deeply.
	May we all learn and love Torah, even more than we already did.
אָמֵן׃	Amen.

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.

Source (Hebrew)	Translation (English)
מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב, וְאִמּוֹתֵינוּ שָׂרָה רִבְקָה רָחֵל וְלֵאָה, הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת (______), בַּעֲבוּר שֶׁעָלָה לַתּוֹרָה לִכְבוֹד הַמָּקוֹם לִכְבוֹד הַתּוֹרָה וְלִכְבוֹד הַשַּׁבָּת, וְלִכְבוֹד סִיּוּמוֹ הַקְּרִיאָה בְּקוֹל שֶׁל כָּל הַתּוֹרָה כֻּלָּהּ.	May the one who blessed our ancestors Abraham Isaac and Jacob, Sarah Rebecca Rachel and Leah, bless (______), who came up to the Torah in honor of God, the Torah and Shabbat, and in honor of his completion of chanting the entire Torah.
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.
