רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם מַלֵּא מִשְׁאֲלוֹת לִבִּינוּ לְטוֹבָה וְהָפֵק רְצוֹנִינוּ וְתֵן שְׁאֵלָתִינוּ. וְזַכֵּה לִנוּ וְכָל בְּנֵי בֵיתִינוּ לַעֲשוֹת רְצוֹנְךָ בְּלֵבָב שָׁלֵם. וּמַלְּטֵנוּ מִיֵּצֶר הָרָע וְתֵן חֶלְקֵנוּ בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ. וְזַכֵּנוּ שֶׁתִּשְׁרֶה שְׁכִינָתְךָ עָלֵינוּ. וְהוֹפַע עָלֵינוּ רוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה. וְיִתְקַיֵּם בָּנוּ מִקְרָא שֶׁכָּתוּב וְנָחָה עָלָיו רוּחַ ה’ רוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה רוּחַ עֵצָה וּגְבוּרָה רוּחַ דַּעַת וְיִרְאַת ה’:

וּבְכֵן יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ ה’ אֱלהֵינוּ וֵאלהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ. שֶׁתְּזַכֵּנוּ לַעֲשוֹת מַעֲשים טוֹבִים בְּעֵינֶיךָ וְלָלֶכֶת בְּדַרְכֵי יְשָׁרִים לְפָנֶיךָ. וְקַדְּשֵׁנוּ בִּקְדֻשָׁתֶךָ כְּדֵי שֶׁנִּזְכֶּה לְחַיִּים טוֹבִים וַאֲרוּכִּים וּלְחַיֵּי הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא. וְתִשְׁמְרֵנוּ מִמַּעֲשּים רָעִים וּמִשָׁעוֹת רָעוֹת הַמִתְרַגְשׁות לָבא לְעוֹלָם. וְהַבּוֹטֵחַ בה’ חֶסֶד יְסוֹבְבֶנְּהוּ אָמֵן:

וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּתִי לְךָ ה’ עֵת רָצוֹן אֱלֹהִים בְּרָב חַסְדֶּךָ עֲנֵנִי בֶּאֱמֶת יִשְׁעֶךָ.

Caption: Blue and white synagogue tile decorated with Moorish arch and floral motif and inscribed with the Hebrew word אתה “atah” (you), Morocco, 18th century. This tile is most likely from one of the four imperial cities: Fez, Meknes, Marrakesh, or Rabat. Original record notes that this tile came from a Moroccan synagogue. Possibly from the formula “barukh atah bevo’echa uvarukh ata btsetekha” (ברוך אתה בבואך וברוך אתה בצאתך), Deuteronomy 28:6; cf. tiled inscriptions in Lazama synagogue, Marrakech. (From the Magnes Museum collection, Tile [77-275].)
