Saturday, February 4, 2023 | 13 Sh’vat 5783
A Prayer Recited at the Celebration of the Birth of a Child Welcome, welcome to this breathtaking world. We have been waiting for you. Waiting to see your beautiful face, to hear the sound of your cry, to kiss you, rock you. You are the fruit of our love, of our hearts, of our souls. We have prayed for this day, and now it is here. But no amount of anticipation could have prepared us for you. You are a miracle. You are a gift from God. You are ours. May God watch over you in love and bless you with health. How can we express our gratitude to You, God? You have sent us a perfect blessing. Thank you, Bless You, source of all life. Amen. Written by Rabbi Naomi Levy
Tiny Treasures Everyone: We are overjoyed to welcome you with warmth and love to this holy community. We embrace you with all of the richness and wisdom that our families passed down to us, and pray that you will, in turn, be inspired by the beauty of our tradition. We hope that you will live lives imbued with the power of Torah, chuppah, and ma’asim tovim. Parents blessing sons: Yesimcha Elohim k’Ephraim ve’chi’Menashe. May God make you like Ephraim and Menashe. Parents blessing daughters: Yesimech Elohim k’Sarah, Rivka, Rahel, v’Leah. May God make you like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah. For all of our children: Yevarechecha Adonai veyishmerecha, Yaer Adonai panav eilecha vichuneka, Yisa Adonai panav eilecha veyasem lecha shalom.
May God bless you and keep you. May God turn God’s face toward you and be gracious to you. May God pay attention to you and bless you with peace. Everyone: Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha’olam, shehechiyanu vekiyemanu vehigiyanu lazman hazeh. Blessed are you, God, Sovereign of the universe, who has given us life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this miraculous moment.
