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.
