Baruch atah Adonai, hazan et hakol:
Blessed are You, HaShem our God, King of the Universe, who nourishes the whole world in goodness, with grace, kindness, and compassion. He gives bread to all flesh, for His mercy endures forever. And through His great goodness we have never lacked, nor will we lack food forever, for the sake of His great name. For He is God, Who nourishes and sustains all, and does good to all, and prepares food for all His creatures which He created. Blessed are You, HaShem, Who nourishes all. Amen.

On Chanukah: Bimei Matityahu ben Yochanan kohein gadol chashmonai uvanav, k’she-am’dah malchut yavan har’sha-ah al am’cha yisra-eil, l’hashkicham toratecha, ul’ha-aviram meichukei r’tzonecha. v’atah b’rachamecha harabim, amadta lahem b’eit tzaratam, ravta et rivam, danta et dinam, nakamta et nikmatam. masarta giborim b’yad chalashim, v’rabim b’yad m’atim, ut’meiim b’yad t’horim, ursha’im b’yad tzadikim, v’zeidim b’yad os’kei toratecha, ul’cha asita sheim gadol v’kadosh b’olamecha, ul’am’cha yisra-eil asita t’shuah g’dolah ufurkan k’hayom hazeh. v’achar kein bau vanecha lidvir veitecha, ufinu et heichalecha, v’tiharu et mikdashecha, v’hidliku neirot b’chatzrot kod’shecha, v’kav’u sh’monat y’mei chanukah eilu, l’hodot ul’haleil l’shimcha hagadol.
In the days of Mattityahu, the son of Yochanan the High Priest, the Hasmonean, and his sons, when the wicked kingdom of Greece rose up against Your people Israel, to make them forget Your Torah and to compel them to stray from the statutes of Your will. But You in Your compassion which is abundant, stood up for them in the time of their distress. You championed their cause, judged their claim, and You avenged their wrong. You delivered the strong into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few, the impure into the hands of the pure, the wicked into the hands of the righteous, and the willful sinners into the hands of the diligent students of Your Torah. For Yourself You made a Name that is great and holy, in Your world, and for Your people Israel You performed a victory of great magnitude and a salvation as this very day. Thereafter came Your children to the Holy of Holies of Your House, cleansed Your Temple, purified Your holy site, and kindled lights in the courtyards of Your Sanctuary; and they established the eight days of Chanukah, to express thanks and praise to Your Name that is great.

In the days of Mordechai and Esther, in Shushan, the capital, when rise up against them did Haman, the wicked, sought to destroy, to slay, and to exterminate all the Jews, from young to old, infants and women, on the same day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month which is Adar, and their possessions plundered. But You in Your mercy which is abundant, nullified his counsel and frustrated his intention and returned to him his recompense upon his own head, and they hanged him and his sons on the gallows.

Have mercy, Lord our God, on Israel Your people, on Jerusalem Your city, on Zion the home of your glory, on the kingdom of the house of David, Your anointed one, and on the great and holy house which is called by Your name. Our God, our Father, look after us and feed us, give us a livelihood and support us, and provide a respite for us — a respite for us, Lord our God, soon, from all our troubles. And please, let us not be dependent, Lord our God, neither on a gift, nor on a loan from a human being, but rather on Your full, open, holy and generous hand, so that we should never feel embarrassed or ashamed.

V’hareinu Adonai eloheinu b’nechamat tziyon irecha, uv’vinyan y’rushalayim ir kod’shecha, ki atah hu ba-al hayshuot uva-al hanechamot:
Be pleased, Lord our God, to strengthen us through Your commandments, especially the commandment of the seventh day, this great and holy Shabbat. For this is indeed a great and holy day for You; to rest and be at ease, with loving concern for the command of Your will. So may it please You to grant us rest, Lord our God, with no trouble, or unhappiness, or weeping on our day of rest. And let us witness, Lord our God, the consolation of Zion, Your city, and the building up of Jerusalem, Your holy city, for you are the Lord of redemption, and the Lord of consolation.

May a plea be heard on high, for them and for us, which will result in the security of peace.
So may we receive a blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of our salvation.
So may we find favor and understanding in the sight of God and man.
On the Sabbath: May the Merciful One bring us the day that will be totally Shabbat
and rest in everlasting life.
On the New Moon: The Compassionate One! May He inaugurate upon us this month for blessing and goodness.
On Festivals: The Compassionate One! May He cause us to inherit the day which is completely good.

יְראוּ אֶת יְיָ קְדוֹשָׁיו, כִּי אֵין מַחְסוֹר לִירֵאָיו. כְּפִירִים רָשׁוּ וְרָעֵֽבוּ, וְדוֹרְשֵׁי יְיָ לֹא יַחְסְרוּ כָל טוֹב. הוֹדוּ לַייָ כִּי טוֹב, כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ. פּוֹתֵֽחַ אֶת יָדֶֽךָ, וּמַשְׂבִּֽיעַ לְכָל חַי רָצוֹן. בָּרוּךְ הַגֶּֽבֶר אֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בַּייָ, וְהָיָה יְיָ מִבְטַחוֹ. נַֽעַר הָיִֽיתִי גַם זָקַֽנְתִּי, וְלֹא רָאִֽיתִי צַדִּיק נֶעֱזָב, וְזַרְעוֹ מְבַקֶּשׁ לָֽחֶם. יְיָ עֹז לְעַמּוֹ יִתֵּן, יְיָ יְבָרֵךְ אֶת עַמּוֹ בַשָּׁלוֹם.

Stand in awe of the Lord, you who are His holy ones, for there is nothing lacking to those who stand in awe of Him. Even young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting.
You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of all living. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and who makes the Lord the object of his trust. I was young and I have become old,
and yet I never overlooked a deserving man who was destitute, with his children begging for bread. May the Lord give strength to His people May the Lord bless his people with peace.
