The Blessing over the Children of Israel on Shabbat.
יְבָרֶכְךָ יְיָ וְיִשְׁמְרֶֽךָ.
יָאֵר יְיָ פָּנָיו אֵלֶֽיךָ וִיחֻנֶּֽךָּ.
יִשָּׂא יְיָ פָּנָיו אֵלֶֽיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם.
Y’varechecha Adonai v’yish’m’recha.
Ya-er Adonai panav eilecha vichuneka.
Yisa Adonai panav eilecha
v’yaseim l’cha shalom.
May God bless you and keep you.
May God’s light shine upon you, and may God be gracious to you.
May you feel God’s Presence within you always, and may you find peace.
