Amalya was born right after Shavuot, on which we have a tradition to eat dairy. In fact, milk itself is associated with the acceptance of Torah, as described in the following Midrash which quotes a verse from Song of Songs (4:11): “Sweetness drops from your lips, O bride; honey and milk are under your tongue and the scent of your robes is like the scent of Lebanon.” . . . Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., ceremony, dairy foods, הדר Hadar, infants, naming, parent, Parents blessing children, prayers concerning children, Prayers on behalf of children, שבועות Shavuot, שמחת בת simḥat bat, soporifics, Torah as milk Contributor(s): I wrote this brachah on the occasion of my son Oryah’s bar mitsvah. The Aramaic/Hebrew and the translation are mine. My partner and I recited the blessing after my son was called up to the Torah. The brachah replaces the ברוך שפטרנו which is recited in some communities. This blessing (which is basically self-explanatory) expresses gratitude for Divine favor leading to this moment and a prayer for Heavenly guidance for my son’s continued path. Though the translation is gender neutral in relation to God, the Hebrew/Aramaic is gendered masculine. This is my practice with regards to my children. I bless my daughter with feminine God language and my son with masculine God language. The blessing can be grammatically adapted for a bat mitsvah. . . . This Simḥat Brit was prepared by David Zvi Kalman and circulated via a public post on Facebook on 9 July 2018. . . . Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., infants, Needing Vocalization, Parents blessing children, שמחת בת simḥat bat, traditional egalitarian Contributor(s): A “mi sheberakh” blessing for children and the parents of children returning to school at the beginning of the new school year. . . . A prayer for children at the onset of the school year. . . . This formulation of the Birkat Yeladim (Blessing of the Children) maintains a connection with tradition and serves to degender the blessing by calling upon quoted, mixed gender texts which have merit for children of any gender. . . . “Blessing for a Premature Birth” was written by Rabbi Elliot Kukla and was first published in Where Healing Resides (CCAR 2013), p. 48. . . . | ||
