Shabbat Morning Service (Shacharit/Torah Service)

Blessed are you, Adonai, our God, sovereign of the universe Who has sanctified us with their commandments and commanded us to wrap ourselves in the tzitzit

Hareni m’kabel(et) alai mitzvot ha-boreh: Ve’ahavta l’re-echa camocha.

הֲרַינִי מְקַבֵּל(ת) עָלַי מִצווֹת הַבּוֹרֵא: וְאָהַבְתֳּ לְרֵעֳךָ כָּמְוֹךָ.

I hereby accept the obligation of fulfilling the instruction: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Psalm 92 — for Shabbat: Mizmor Shir

Mizmor shir leyom hashabbat.

Tov lehodot Ladonai, ulzamer leshimcha elyon.

Lehagid baboker chasdecha ve-emunatcha, baleylot.

Alei asor va-alei-navel; alei heegayon bekinor.

Ki simachtani adonai befoalecha; bema’asei yadecha aranen. Ma-gadlu ma’asecha Adonai, meod, amku machshevotecha. Ish ba’ar lo yeda, uchsil lo yavin et zot. Bifroach reshaim, kemo esev, vayatzitzu, ko-poalei aven. Lehishamdam adei-ad. Veatah marom — leolam Adonai. Ki hineh oyvecha, adonai — ki hineh oyvecha yo veidu. Yitpardu ko poalei aven. Vaterem kirem karni; baloti, beshemen ra’anan. Vatabet eini beshurai. Bakamim alay me’ra’eem — tishma’eina oznai.

Tzdik katamar yifrach; ke-erez balvanon yishgeh.

Shetulim beveit adonai; bechatzrot eloheinu yafrichu.

Od yenuvun beseiva; desheinim ve’ra’ananim yihiyu.

Lehagid, ki-yashar Adonai; tzuri, ve-lo avalatah bo.

לְהַגִּיד כִּי-יָשָׁר יְהוָה צוּרִי וְלֹא-עַוְלָתָה בּוֹ

A Psalm, a Song. For the sabbath day.

It is good to give thanks unto Adonai, and to sing praises unto Your name, O Most High;

To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness in the evening,

With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp.

For You, Adonai, have made me glad through Your work; I will exult in the works of Your hands.

How great are Your works, Adonai! How subtle are your designs.

The arrogant do not comprehend, neither does a fool understand this.

When the wicked spring up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish; it is that they may be abolished.

But You, Adonai, are on high for evermore.

For Your enemies, Adonai, Your enemies shall perish:

all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

But my horn You have exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with fresh oil.

My eyes gaze upon those that lie in wait for me,

My ears have heard the desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Planted in the house of Adonai, flourishing in the courts of our God.

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and richness;

Declaring that Adonai is upright, my Rock, in whom there is no flaw.

Magnified and sanctified is God’s great name in the world created according to Divine will. May God’s majesty reign during your lifetime and throughout your days, and during the life of all the people, speedily and soon, and let us say, Amen.

[Recited by the Leader and community in unison]

May the name of the Holy One be blessed, praised and glorified, exalted, extolled and honored, magnified and lauded: yet, we remember that God exists well beyond any (exceedingly beyond, in fact) the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that we say here on earth; and let us say, Amen.

Blessed are you, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, who forms light and creates darkness, who makes peace and creates all things… Blessed are you, Adonai who forms light.

Sh’mah and Ve’Ahavta

שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל, יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְהוָה אֶחָד

Sh’ma Yisra-eil, Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad.

Hear, O Israel: Adonai is our God, Adonai is one.

בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד

[Baruch shem k’vod malchuto l’olam va-ed.]

Blessed is God’s glory forever and ever.

And you shall love Adonai your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words, which I command you this day, shall be upon your heart: and you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. And you shall write them upon the door-posts of your house, and upon your gates.

What other power is like this one? What can transcend like holiness, awesomely powerful, working wonders? We experienced that power as the sea split before Moses. ‘This is my God!’ we exclaimed, ‘Majesty transcends all time and space!’ This is why it is said: Jacob was rescued from battling his brother, a peril he could not overcome himself. Praised are you, source of miracles, redeemer of Israel.

May Adonai open my lips as we speak these blessings.

Bless the compassion and the truth that has sustained generations. Guide of Abraham and Sarah; guide of Isaac and Rachel; guide of Rachel, Leah, and Jacob—profound, abundant, awesome, filling all dimensions and worlds; the highest power, source of all loving deeds; honoring the courage of ancestors, and enabling that courage to inspire generations toward redemption, in love, for that is its nature. Blessed is the compassion that shielded Abraham and strengthened Sarah.

Compassion’s might has no limit: sustaining the living with kindness, lovingly bringing life to the lifeless; stirring us to lift the fallen, heal the sick, free the bound, and keeping faith even with those who sleep in the dust. Who is like this source of mercy, binding its children into life, in mercy. Always it is the faithful source of life. Blessed is the compassion that fills matter with living spirit.

The leader then faces the congregation as these two lines are recited responsively.

L’cha Adonai HaGedulah & Procession with the Torah

The service leader turns to the right walks around the community, carrying the Torah to the reading table as the community responds:

L’cha Adonai hag’dulah v’hag’vurah v’hatiferet v’haneitzach v’hahod, ki chol bashamayim uva-aretz, l’cha Adonai hamamlachah, v’hamitnasei l’chol l’rosh. Rom’mu Adonai eloheinu, v’hishtachavu lahadom raglav, kadosh hu. Rom’mu Adonai eloheinu, v’hishtachavu l’har kad’sho, ki kadosh Adonai eloheinu.

Yours, Adonai, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is yours; yours, Adonai, is the kingdom, and the supremacy as head over all. Exalt Adonai our God, and worship in God’s temple: holy is Adonai. Exalt Adonai our God, and worship at God’s holy mount; for Adonai our God is holy.

Torah Blessings

Blessing of the Torah Before Reading

The scroll of the Torah is undressed and placed upon the reading table.

The service leader calls upon each person receiving an aliyah.

Those who are called to the Torah for an Aliyah (the honor of blessing the Torah before and after the reading of the Scroll) say the following blessing before beginning:

בָּרְכוּ אֶת יְיָ הַמְבֹרָךְ

Bar’chu et Adonai hamvorach.

בָּרוּךְ יְיָ הַמְבֹרָךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד

Baruch Adonai hamvorach l’olam va-ed.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר בָּנוּ מִכָּל הָעַמִּים וְנָתַן לָנוּ אֶת תּוֹרָתוֹ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, נוֹתֵן הַתּוֹרָה

Baruch atah Adonai eloheinu melech ha-olam, asher bachar banu mikol ha-amim v’natan lanu et torato. Baruch atah Adonai, notein hatorah.

Blessed is Adonai who is to be praised.

Blessed is Adonai who is to praised for ever and ever.

Blessed are you Adonai our God, Spirit of the universe who chose us and gave us your Torah. Blessed are you Adonai, Giver of the Torah.

Blessing of the Torah After Reading

After the Torah portion is read, the person called for the aliyah recites the following:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָנוּ תּוֹרַת אֱמֶת, וְחַיֵּי עוֹלָם נָטַע בְּתוֹכֵנוּ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, נוֹתֵן הַתּוֹרָה

Baruch atah Adonai eloheinu melech ha-olam, asher natan lanu torat emet, v’chayei olam nata b’tocheinu. Baruch atah Adonai, notein ha Torah.

Blessed are you Adonai our God, Spirit of the universe who gave us a Torah of truth and through it gave us eternal life. Blessed are you Adonai, Giver of the Torah.

Returning the Torah

The Torah scroll is raised for the congregation to see, as the scroll faces the community, all say:

V’zot hatorah asher sam mosheh lifnei b’nei yisra-eil, al pi Adonai b’yad Mosheh.

וְזֹאת הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר שָׂם מֹשֶׁה לִפְנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, עַל פִּי יְיָ בְּיַד משֶׁה.

עֵץ חַיִּים הִיא לַמַּחֲזִיקִים בָּהּ, וְתֹמְכֶיהָ מְאֻשָּׁר. דְּרָכֶיהָ דַרְכֵי נֹעַם, וְכָל נְתִיבוֹתֶיהָ שָׁלוֹם.

הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ יְיָ אֵלֶיךָ וְנָשׁוּבָה. חַדֵּשׁ יָמֵינוּ כְּקֶדֶם

And this is the Torah which Moses set before the children of Israel, according to the commandment of Adonai by the hand of Moses.

It is a tree of life to them that grasp it, and of them that uphold it every one is rendered happy. Its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all its paths are peace. Turn us toward You, Adonai, and we will return to You, make our days new again, like before.

Misheberach (Debbie Friedman Version)

מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אַבוֹתֵינוּ מְקוֹר הַבְּרָכָה לְאִמוֹתֵינוּ

Mi Shebeirach avoteinu M’kor habrachah l’imoteinu.

May the source of strength who blessed the ones before us. Help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing, and let us say Amen.

מִּי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אִמוֹתֵינוּ מְקוֹר הַבְּרָכָה לְאֲבוֹתֵינוּ.

Mi shebeirach imoteinu M’kor habrachah laavoteinu.

Bless those in need of healing with r’fu-a sh’lei-ma, The renewal of body, the renewal of spirit, and let us say Amen.

Ashrei

אַשְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵי בֵיתֶֽךָ עוֹד יְהַלְלֽוּךָ

אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם שֶׁכָּֽכָה לּוֹ. אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם שֶׁיְיָ אֱלֹהָיו

Ashrei yosheiv beitekha,

od y’hali’ lukha..

Ashrei ha’am she’ka’kha lo,

ashrei ha’am she’adonai elohav.

Adaptation:

Dwelling with you is happiness

and praising, even more so.

There is contentment for a people

so at home with You.

There is serenity knowing you as our God.

You are magnificent,

but your greatness is beyond knowing;

While others may speak

of Your awesome power,

I stress Your great kindness:

All that You have made,

You hold in Your tenderness;

You open Your hand

and each being receives what it needs.

You are close by

when we call on You;

Especially, when we fully mean it.

You shape the will of those

who respect You;

You hear their pleading,

and You help.

And we will bless You,

from now on, and for as long

as there is life on this world.

–R. Zalman

We praise You, Eternal God, your presence fills creation: You have called faithful prophets to speak words of truth. We praise You, O God, for the revelation of Torah, for Moses Your servant, and Israel Your people, and for the prophets of truth and righteousness.

We thank You and give You praise, Adonai our God, for the Torah, for worship, for the prophets, and for this Shabbat, which You have given us for holiness and rest, for dignity and splendor. We thank You and praise You for all things. May Your name be praise continually by every living creature. Praised are you Adonai, who sanctifies Shabbat.

There is none like our God: none like Adonai. There is none like our Sovereign: none like our Savior.

Who is like our God: who is like Adonai? Who is like our Sovereign: who is like our Savior?

We will give thanks unto our God: we will give thanks unto Adonai. We will give thanks unto our Sovereign: we will give thanks unto our Savior.

Blessed be our God: blessed be Adonai. Blessed be our Sovereign: blessed be our Savior.

You are our God: you are Adonai. You are our Sovereign: You are our Savior.

You are the one before whom our ancestors worshipped.

It is our duty to praise the Ruler of all things, to ascribe greatness to the One who formed the world in the beginning. So we bend the knee and offer worship and thanks before the supreme Sovereign of sovereigns, the Holy One, who stretched forth the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, the seat of whose glory is in the heavens above, and the residence of whose might is in the loftiest heights. Adonai is our God; there is none else: in truth Adonai is our Ruler; there is none else; as it is written in the Torah: “And you shall know this day, and lay it to your heart, that Adonai is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.”

As it is written in Your Torah, “Adonai shall reign forever and ever.” And it is said, “Adonai shall be ruler over all the Earth: in that day, Adonai shall be One and God’s name shall be One.”

Magnified and sanctified is God’s great name in the world created according to divine will. May God’s majesty reign during your lifetime and throughout your days, and during the life of all people, speedily and soon, and let us say, Amen.

(Recited by mourners and community in unison)

Let God’s great Name be blessed forever and for all eternity.

Blessed, praised and glorified, exalted, extolled and honored, magnified and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, though God reigns high above all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations, which are uttered in this world; and let us say: Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life for us and for all Israel; and let us say, Amen.

אֲדון עולָם אֲשֶׁר מָלַךְ. בְּטֶרֶם כָּל יְצִיר נִבְרָא

לְעֵת נַעֲשה בְחֶפְצו כּל. אֲזַי מֶלֶךְ שְׁמו נִקְרָא

וְאַחֲרֵי כִּכְלות הַכּל. לְבַדּו יִמְלךְ נורָא

וְהוּא הָיָה וְהוּא הוֶה. וְהוּא יִהְיֶה בְּתִפְאָרָה

וְהוּא אֶחָד וְאֵין שֵׁנִי. לְהַמְשִׁיל לו לְהַחְבִּירָה

בְּלִי רֵאשִׁית בְּלִי תַכְלִית. וְלו הָעז וְהַמִּשרָה

וְהוּא אֵלִי וְחַי גואֲלִי. וְצוּר חֶבְלִי בְּעֵת צָרָה

וְהוּא נִסִּי וּמָנוס לִי. מְנָת כּוסִי בְּיום אֶקְרָא

בְּיָדו אַפְקִיד רוּחִי. בְּעֵת אִישָׁן וְאָעִירָה

וְעִם רוּחִי גְּוִיָּתִי. ה’ לִי וְלא אִירָא

Power of the universe, reigning before anything existed: when all was made as it willed, its sovereignty was declared.

And after all is finished, that awesome power will reign alone, in splendor She was, He is, It will be.

There is only One, no second compares or accompanies; without beginning, without end, origin of all energy and design.

This is my strength. This frees my life. My solid rock in troubled times. My banner, my sign, my miracle, that fills my cup when I call.

I place my soul in its hands, when I sleep and when I wake: my soul, and my body as well. Adonai is mine; I will not fear.
