May the One Who blessed our ancestors bless also [name], Rabbinical Intern, who was called to the Torah to honor Heaven [and the Sabbath] in recognition of their service to the congregation and to this minyan. May the blessed Holy One protect them; grant them long life; and as they travel their path of Torah, may The Eternal bless their work; may their example bring Jews ever closer to Torah, to devotion, and to good deeds; and may they, like Moses our Rabbi, merit to be acknowledged a “faithful servant”^[1] In “Yismaḥ Mosheh,” in the Shabbat morning Amidah, after Numbers 12:7. of the Almighty.
[בין ר״ה וי״כ: וְיִכְתְּבֵנּוּ בְּסֵ֫פֶר חַיִּים טוֹבִים]	[בין ר״ה וי״כ: וְיִכְתְּבֵנּוּ בְּסֵ֫פֶר חַיִּים טוֹבִים]	[between Rosh haShana and Yom Kippur: and may we all be inscribed for a good life in this new year].
וְכֵן יְהִי רָצוֹן וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן:	וְכֵן יְהִי רָצוֹן וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן:	So may it be their will, and may we say, Amen.
