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.

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.

Your universe is eternal, and your reign extends to every generation.

Adonai is sovereign. Adonai was sovereign. Adonai will be sovereign forever and ever.

Adonai will give strength to God’s people. Adonai will bless God’s people with peace.

Sh’ma Yisrael

The Service leader picks up the Torah scroll.

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

שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְיָ אֶחָד

Sh’ma yisra-eil, Adonai eloheinu, Adonai echad.

אֶחָד אֱלֹהֵינוּ גָּדוֹל אֲדוֹנֵנוּ, קָדוֹשׁ שְׁמוֹ

Echad Eloheynu, Gadol Adonaynu, Kadosh Shemo.

Hear, O Israel, Adonai is our God; Adonai is One.

One Is Our God; Great Is Our God; Holy Is God’s Name.

גַּדְּלוּ לַייָ אִתִּי, וּנְרוֹמְמָה שְׁמוֹ יַחְדָּו

Gad’lu l’Adonai iti, un’rom’mah sh’mo yachdav.

Praise the Holy One with me, and let us exalt the Name together.

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:

לְךָ יְיָ הַגְּדֻלָּה וְהַגְּבוּרָה וְהַתִּפְאֶרֶת וְהַנֵּצַח וְהַהוֹד, כִּי כֹל בַּשָּׁמַיִם וּבָאָֽרֶץ, לְךָ יְיָ הַמַּמְלָכָה, וְהַמִּתְנַשֵּׂא לְכֹל לְרֹאשׁ. רוֹמְמוּ יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ, וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָיו, קָדוֹשׁ הוּא. רוֹמְמוּ יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ, וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְהַר קָדְשׁוֹ, כִּי קָדוֹשׁ יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ

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:

Bar’chu et Adonai hamvorach.

בָּרְכוּ אֶת יְיָ הַמְבֹרָךְ

Blessed is Adonai who is to be praised.

Baruch Adonai hamvorach l’olam va-ed.

בָּרוּךְ יְיָ הַמְבֹרָךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד

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

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

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

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:

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

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

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.

Eitz chayim hi lamachazikim bah, v’tom’cheha m’ushar. D’racheha darchei noam, v’chol n’tivoteha shalom.

Hashivenu adonai eliecha v’nashuva. Chadesh yamenu k’kedem

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)

Mi Shebeirach avoteinu M’kor habrachah l’imoteinu.

מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אַבוֹתֵינוּ מְקוֹר הַבְּרָכָה לְאִמוֹתֵינוּ

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.

Mi shebeirach imoteinu M’kor habrachah laavoteinu.

מִּי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אִמוֹתֵינוּ מְקוֹר הַבְּרָכָה לְאֲבוֹתֵינוּ

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.

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.

We sanctify Your name in the world, in the same way as they sanctify it in the Heavens above. As it is written by the hand of Your prophets, “And the angels called, to one another, saying:

Holy, holy, holy is the Adonai the Source, the whole world is full of Your glory.

From one generation to the next we will declare Your greatness and sanctify You with praises, for You are Adonai, great and holy.

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.”

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.
