עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל רַבָּנָן וְעַל תַּלְמִידֵיהוֹן…	Al Yisrael, v’al rabbanan, v’al talmideihon… For our community, for our teachers and students: those who receive and learn and hand down the teachings of all who have gone before us;
	For those who explain, those who discern, those who make connections, those who draw out the truths patiently waiting to be revealed;
	For those who challenge words that cause harm, those who reinterpret, reframe and redeem meanings that might otherwise lead us astray;
	For those who learn through study and those who learn from experience, those who learn from all peoples, cultures and traditions, those who live out the wisdom they have gained, who know that every conversation, every move, every breath is a precious opportunity to learn Torah anew;
יְהֵא לְהוֹן וּלְכוֹן שְׁלָמָא רַבָּא חִנָּא וְחִסְדָּא וְרַחֲמִין…	Y’hei l’hon ul’khon sh’lama raba, ḥina, v’ḥisda v’raḥamin… May the source of all wisdom grant us abundant peace, loyalty love and compassion, and let us say, Amen.
