Birchot ---Family Blessings

Before beginning the Sabbath Dinner celebration, blessings are said

over family members.

FOR THE SONS: Genesis 48:14-16

May G-d make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.

May our Father in heaven instill in your heart His love and reverence.
May Adonai bless you and safeguard you and make peace for you.

FOR THE DAUGHTERS: Ruth 4:11

May G-d make you like Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel and Leah.
May our Father in heaven instill in your heart His love and reverence.
May Adonai bless you and safeguard you and make peace for you.

FOR THE WIFE: Proverbs 31:10-31

An excellent wife, who can find?

For her worth is far above jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.
She looks for wool and flax,
And works with her hands in delight.
She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
She rises also while it is still night,
And gives food to her husband,
And her portion to her hand maidens.
She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She girds herself with strength,
And makes her arms strong.
She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
She stretches out her hand to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
She extends her hand to the poor;
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She makes coverings for herself,
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tounge.
She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and bless her,
Her husband also praises her saying:
“Many daughters have done nobly,
But you exceed them all.”
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.
Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.

FOR THE HUSBAND: Psalm 112

Praise Adonai! How blessed is the man who fears Adonai,

Who greatly delights in His commandments.
His descendants will be mighty on the earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
Light arises in the darkness of the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He will maintain his cause in judgment.
He will never be shaken;
The righteous will be remembered forever.
He will not fear evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast; trusting in Adonai.
His heart is upheld, he will not fear,
Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries.
He has given freely to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted in honor.
The wicked will see it and be vexed;
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked will perish.

Qidush L’leil Shabbat

Blessings over the Sabbath Meal

G-d saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And
there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Thus the
heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. By the
Seventh day G-d completed His work which He had done, and He
rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then
G=d blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He
Rested from all His work which G-d had created and made.

Blessed are You, Adonai our G-d, King of the Universe, Who has
sanctified us by Your commandments and has taken pleasure in us,
and in love and favor has given us Your Holy Sabbath, as an
inheritance, a memorial of the Creation; that day also the first of the
Holy Convocations, in remembrance of the departure from Egypt. For
You have chosen us and sanctified us above all nations, and in
love and favor have given us Your Holy Sabbath, as an inheritance.
Blessed are You, Yahweh our G-d, Who sanctified the Sabbath.
