Welcoming the Sabbath
bonayikh [your builders—scholars are the true builders of the ideal of peace].
Abundant peace have they who love thy Torah, and there is no stumbling for them. Peace be within your walls, and security within your palaces. In behalf of my brethren and friends, let me pronounce peace for you. For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good. The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.1
KADDISH D’RABBANAN
Mourners:
Glorified and sanctified be God’s great name throughout the world which he has created according to his will. May he establish his kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire house of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen.
May his great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.
Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be he, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.
[We pray] for Israel, for our teachers and their disciples and the disciples of their disciples, and for all who study the Torah, here and everywhere. May they have abundant peace, loving- kindness, ample sustenance and salvation from their Father who is in heaven; and say, Amen.
May there be abundant peace from heaven, and a happy life, for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.
He who creates peace in his celestial heights, may he in his mercy create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.— 1 Psalms 119:165; 122:7-9; 29:11
