Guide to Daily Prayers The first thing you do each day is pray to G-d.
Modeh Ani:
On waking each morning, say:
Mo-deh a-ni l’fa-ne-cha
me-lech chai v’ka-yam
she-he-che-zar-ta bi nish-ma-ti
b’chem-la ra-bah e-mu-na-te-cha.
I give thanks before You,
living and eternal King,
who has returned my soul into me
in compassion; great is Your faithfulness.
Next is the Shema
According to Deuteronomy 6:4-9, we are to say the Shema a minimum of two times a day, “when we arise and when we lie down”.Below is the Hebrew transliteration with the English translation below that.
Shema Y’israel Adonai Eloheynu, Adonai echad.
Hear O Israel the Lord, G-d, The Lord is One!
Barukh Shem k’vod malchuto l’olam va’ed.
Blessed be His Name, His glorious kingdom forever and ever.
Then I suggest The Aaronic Blessing over your family:
Yevarekhekha Adonai v’yishmerekha, ya’er Adonai, panav eleykha v’chuneckha, yissa Adonai panav eleykha, v’yasem lekha shalom
May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord shine His face to you and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn his face to you and give you peace.
V’ahavta et Adonai Elohey’cha b’chol l’vav’cha uv’chol naf’shecha uv’chol modecha; V’ha’yu hadevarim ha eleh asher ano’chi metzave’cha hayom al-le’vavecha: V’shinann’tam levanei’cha, v’dibarta bam b’ shiv’techah b’vei’techa uv’lech’techa vaderech u’vesha’kebcha u’vekumecha: Uq’shartam l’totafot bein ei’neicha: Uk’tavtam al’mezuzot beitecha, u’vishahrecha.
And you are to love Adonai your G-d with all of you heart, all of your soul and all of your resources. Let these matters that I command you today be on your heart. Teach them thoroughly to your children and speak of them while you sit your home, while you walk on the way, when you retire and when you arise. Bind them as a sign upon your arm and let them be tefillin between your eyes. And you shall write them on the door posts of your homes and gates.
Then the Kaddish. Traditionally this has become the Mourners Prayer, but if you clook closely, it resembles the prayer Yahoshuah prayed when teaching us to pray. Kaddish Yit-ga-dal v’yit-ka-dash sh’mei ra-ba, (A-mein.)
b’al-ma di-v’ra chi-ru-tei, v’yam-lich mal-chu-tei
[ v’yats-mach pur-ka-nei, vi-ka-reiv m’shi-chei. (A-mein). ]
b’chai-yei-chon uv’yo-mei-chon
uv’chai-yei d’chawl^beit Yis-ra-eil,
ba-a-ga-la u-viz-man ka-riv,
v’im’ru: A-mein. (A-mein.) Y’hei sh’mei ra-ba m’va-rach
l’a-lam ul’al-mei al-ma-ya. [Yit-ba-rach] Yit-ba-rach v’yish-ta-bach,
v’yit-pa-ar v’yit-ro-mam v’yit-na-sei,
v’yit-ha-dar v’yit-a-leh v’yit-ha-lal, sh’mei d’ku-d’sha, b’rich hu,
(b’rich hu) [Some Chassidic and Sfardic congregations say “A-mein“]
l’ei-la min^kawl^bir-cha-ta v’shi-ra-ta,
tush-b’cha-ta v’ne-che-ma-ta, da-a-mi-ran b’al-ma,
v’im’ru: A-mein. (A-mein.)
Y’hei sh’la-ma ra-ba min sh’ma-ya,
v’cha-yim [ to-vim ], a-lei-nu v’al kawl^Yis-ra-eil,
v’im’ru: A-mein. (A-mein.)
O-seh sha-lom bim-ro-mav,
hu ya-a-seh sha-lom a-lei-nu v’al kawl^Yis-ra-eil,
v’im’ru: A-mein. (A-mein.)
Exalted and sanctified is G-d’s great Name, Amen, in the world which He created according to His will, and may He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the lifeof the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen Amen. May His geat Name be blessed forever and for all eternity. May His great Name be blessed forever and for all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, elevated and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He, (blessed be He) beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are spoken in the world, and day, Amen. (Amen) May there be great peace from heaven, and life, for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. (Amen)
