Praised are You, Lord, our God, Ruler of the universe who separates the sacred from the mundane, light from darkness, Israel from the nations, the seventh day from the six workdays. Praised are You, Lord, who separates the sacred from the mundane.

Havdalah following a Yom Tov that does not coincide with Shabbat consists only of the blessing on the wine and the final blessing. Havdalah following Yom Kippur that falls on a weekday consists of the blessings on the wine and the flame, and the final blessing.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust and will not be afraid, for the Lord is my strength and song, and He is my salvation. With joy shall you draw water from the wells of salvation. Salvation belongs to the Lord, your great blessings are on your people. The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge. The Jews had light and joy and gladness and honor. So may it be with us. I life the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord.

‫קידוש יום שבת‬ KIDDUSH FOR SHABBAT DAY “And the Children of Israel shall observe the Shabbat, by establishing the Shabbat for their generations as an eternal covenant. Between Me and the Children of Israel it is an eternal sign, that in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He ceased from work and rested.” (Exodus 31:16-17)

“Remember the Shabbat day to sanctify it. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is Shabbat for the Lord your God. You shall not do any work — you, your son, and your daughter, your manservant and your maidservant, and your cattle, and the stranger who is in your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day.

gives food to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She girds her loins with strength, and makes strong her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good; her lamp does not go out at night. She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. She stretches out her hand to the poor; she reaches forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She makes for herself coverlets; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates where he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them; and delivers girdles unto the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing; and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom and the law of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household, and eats not the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband, too, and he praises her: “Many daughters have done valiantly, but you excell them all.” Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her works praise her in the gates.

Give thanks to God, who is good, whose mercy endures forever. Open Your hand and satisfy every living being. Blessed is the one who trusts in God, that God becomes his trust. I was young and now I’ve aged, but I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken, or their descendents lacking bread. God will give His people strength; God will bless His people with peace.

In the days of the Hasmonean Mattityahu ben Yochanan, the high priest, and his sons, when the evil government of Greece rose up against Your people Israel to make them forget Your Torah and to make them leave the laws of Your will — in Your great mercy You rose up with them in their time of trouble, and fought in their fight, judged their cause just, and avenged them with a vengeance. You delivered the mighty into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few, the unclean into the hands of the pure, the evil into the hands of the righteous, and the arrogant into the hands of those who engage in Your Torah. For You, You made a great and holy name in Your world; and for Your people Israel, You brought about a great triumph and redemption on that very day. And then Your children came to the Holy of Holies, and emptied Your temple, and purified Your holy place, and lit candles in Your holy courts, and established these eight days of Chanukah gratefully to acknowledge and to praise Your great name.

Praised are You, Lord, our God, Ruler of the universe, who in goodness, with grace, kindness and mercy, feeds the entire world. He provides bread for all creatures, for His kindness is never-ending. And because of His magnificent greatness we have never wanted for food, nor will we ever want for food, to the end of time. For His great name, because He is God who feeds and provides for all and who does good to all by preparing food for all of His creatures whom He created: Praised are You, Lord, who feeds all.

Our God, thank You for having given a beautiful and spacious land to our ancestors as their inheritance; and, Lord our God, for having brought us out of the land of Egypt; and for freeing us from the house of slaves; and for Your covenant, which You sealed with our flesh and blood; and for Your Torah, which You taught us; and for Your laws, which You made known to us; and for life, grace and love, which You bestowed upon us; and for the food You grant and provide us always, every day, every season, every hour.

A Song of Ascents: We were as dreamers when the Lord returned Zion’s exiles. Then our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongues with rejoicing. Then it was said among the nations: “God has done great things for them.” God has done great things for us, and we celebrated! Lord, return our exiles, like the streams in the Negev. Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. Who walks in tears carrying a sack of seed, returns rejoicing carrying its produce!

Let my mouth proclaim God’s praise, as all creatures praise His holy name for ever and ever. Let us praise God from now and ever more: Halleluyah! Give thanks to God, who is good, whose mercy endures forever. Who can count God’s mighty acts, or recite all His praise!
