Prayer

Aronic Blessing

Adonai said to Moshe, “Speak to Aharon and his sons, and tell them that this is how you are to bless the people of Isra’el: you are to say to them:

יברכך ה’ וישמרך 

יאר ה’ פניו אליך ויחנך

ישא ה’ פניו אליך וישם לך שלום

HEBREW (transliterated):

Y’va-reh-ch’cha Adonai v’yeesh-m’reh-cha.
Ya-air Adonai pa-nahv ay-leh-cha vee-chu-neh-ka.
Yee-sa Adonai pa-nahv ay-leh-cha v’ya-same l’cha Shalom.

ENGLISH:

May the Lord bless you and keep you;
May the Lord shine His face upon you and be gracious unto you;
May the Lord manifest His presence to you and give you peace.
“In this way they are to put my name on the people of Isra’el,
so that I The Lord will bless them.”

The Lords prayer

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
