Sabbath Blessings - Jonathan Settel

Baruch ata Adonai

Blessed are you O Lord our God

Who separated day from night

And commanded us to kindle the lights

May you be blessed all you daughters of Zion

May you be like our mothers of old

Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel and Leah

And may your names be more precious than gold.

Baruch ata Adonai

Blessed are you O Lord our God

And blessed be this cup of wine

As we drink it in Your presence divine

Baruch ata Adonai (Melech ha olam)

O Lord our God and wondrous king, (Elohim)

Who brings forth bread from the earth,

Blessed be he who has done great things

(hamotzi lechem min ha’aretz)

May you be blessed all ye sons of Israel

May you be like our fathers of old

God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

Lead them safely into your fold

Baruch ata Adonai

Blessed are you O Lord our God

Who separated day from night

And commanded us to kindle the lights

Baruch ata Adonai Eloheinu melech ha olam

Asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav
