מִי שֶׁבֵּרֵךְ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב
וְאִמּוֹתֵינוּ שָׂרָה רִבְקָה רָחֵל וְלֵאָה,
הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת כָּל יַלְדֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַיּוֹצְאִים לְחֻפְשָׁתָם הַשְּׁנָתִית,
וְאֶת כָּל הַמּוֹרִים וְהַהוֹרִים הַמְּסַיְּמִים יַחַד אִתַּם אֶת שְׁנַת הַלִּמּוּדִים.
יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ שֶׁתּוֹלִיכֵם לְשָׁלוֹם וְתַצְעִידֵם לְשָׁלוֹם
וְתַגִיעַם לִשְׁנַת הַלִּמּוּדִים הַבָּאָה לְאַחַר מְנוּחָה וּבְכוֹחוֹת מְחֻדָּשִׁים.‏
May he who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
and our foremothers Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel and Leah
bless all of us, the students, as we go out to our yearly vacation,
and all of our parents and teachers who are finishing the school year with us.
We hope that you will let us walk in peace and guide us in peace,
and bring us back to the next school year after rest and with renewed insight.
מְקוֹר הַבְּרָכָה יַעֲנִיק לָהֶם בִּינָה וְדַעַת
לְהַמְשִׁיךְ לִצְמֹחַ,
לְהִסְתַּקְרֵן, לִלְמֹד וְלַחֲקֹר אֶת הָעוֹלָם
לְפִי קִצְבָּם,
וְיוֹסִיפוּ לְגַלּוֹת אֶת יְפִי הָעוֹלָם
דֶּרֶך עֵינַיִם מְלֵאוֹת פְּלִיאָה
וְלֵב מְלֵא חֶסֶד.‏
May the source of blessing give us wisdom and knowledge
so we can continue to grow,
investigate, learn, and explore the world
at our pace,
and may we continue to discover the beauty of the world
through eyes full of wonder
and a heart full of loving-kindness.
יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָֹה, וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ
יָאֵר יְהוָֹה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ
יִשָּׂא יְהוָֹה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם.‏
May YHVH bless you and guard you.
May YHVH make their face shed light upon you and be gracious unto you.
May YHVH lift up their face unto you and give you peace.[1] Numbers 6:23-27
