Guardian of mitzvot
Keeper of truths,
Hand of protection and peace,
We are blessed with your humor
and compassion,
Your zest for life
And your zeal for family.
You remind us to open our lives
to G-d’s majesty
and mystery,
G-d’s justice and mercy.
You remind us to seek radiance
and splendor,
Awe for creation and
compassion for each other,
And choose joy over grief,
Laughter over tears.
G-d of fatherly patience
and strength,
Bless our family with love
And our father with vision,
endurance and hope.
May his devotion inspire us
to righteousness and charity,
Guided by Torah
Bless our lives with abundance
And our days with vigor,
So that we bring majesty
and mystery to our lives
And into the world.
Blessed are You,
G-d of our ancestors,
Who provides just and
righteous people
In every generation.
