מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ וְאִמּוֹתֵינוּ
אַבְרָהָם וְשָׁרָה, יִצְחָק וְרִבְקָה, יַעֲקֹב, רָחֵל, לֵאָה, בִּלְהָה וְזִלְפָּה, הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת אֵלֶּה הָעוֹמְדִים וְהָעוֹמְדוֹת עַל מִשְׁמַר הַדֵּמוֹקְרַטְיָה, הַשִּׁוְיוֹן וְהַשָּׁלוֹם, מִקֶּרֶב עַמֵּנוּ וּבְכָל רַחֲבֵי תֵּבֵל, שֶׁאֵינָם עוֹמְדִים מִנֶּגֶד וּפוֹעֲלִים לְתִקּוּן חֶבְרָתִי לְנֹכַח אִיּוּם עַל מַעֲרֶכֶת הַמִּשְׁפָּט וּפְגִיעָה בְּשִׁלְטוֹן הַחֹק. |
May the One who blessed our ancestors:
Avraham and Sarah, Yitsḥaq and Rivqah, Yaaqov, Raḥel, Leah, Bilhah, and Zilpah, bless those who stand in defense of democracy, equality, and peace from among our people and those all over the world, who work to repair society in the face of the threat to the justice system and the rule of law. |
יִשְׁמְרֵם הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא וְיַצִּילֵם
מִכָּל צָרָה וְצוּקָה וּמִכָּל נֶגַע ומַחֲלָה, מִכָּל הִתְנַכְּלוּת וּפְגִיעָה וּמִכָּל נִסָּיוֹן לְהַשְׁפִּילָם וּלְעַרְעֵר אֶת מְחֻיָּבוּתָם בַּמַּאֲבָק נֶגֶד הָאֲדִישׁוּת, חֹסֶר הַמַּעַשׂ וְהֵעָדֵר הַמְעֹרָבוּת. |
May the Holy One protect them and save them
from all trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, From all harassment and injury and any attempt to humiliate them and undermine their commitment in the fight against indifference, inaction, and noninvolvement |
מִי יִתֵּן וְיַצְלִיחוּ בְּמַאֲמַצֵּיהֶם,
וְיִהְיוּ בָּהֶם עַיִן טוֹבָה לְמַעַן יִרְאוּ עַוָּלוֹת, לֵב טוֹב לְמַעַן לֹא יַעַמְדוּ מִנֶּגֶד וְכוֹחוֹת לְמַעַן יִפְעֲלוּ עֲבוּר שְׁמִירַת הַזְּכוּיוֹת שֶׁל כָּל אָדָם בַּאֲשֶׁר הוּא אָדָם לְכוֹנֵן צֶדֶק וּלְהַשְׁכִּין שָׁלוֹם עֲבוּר כָּל אִשָּׁה וָאִישׁ, יַלְדָּה וְיֶלֶד, צֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים בָּעוֹלָם. |
May their efforts be successful
and may they have a good eye (to see wrongs done) A good heart (so as not to stand idly by) And the strength to act to protect the rights of all To do justice and bring peace to every person made in the image of God in the world. |
וִיקֻיַּם בִּזְכוּתָם.ן הַכָּתוּב:
“כִּי בִּגְלַל הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בְּכָל מַעֲשֶׂךָ וּבְכֹל מִשְׁלַח יָדֶךָ” (דְּבָרִים טו:י), וְנֹאמַר: אָמֵן. |
May the words of the Torah be fulfiled:
“For because of this thing God will bless you in all of your efforts and in all of your undertakings” (Deut. 15:10) And let us say: Amen. |
