Avot v'Imahot


Blessed are You Adonai, our G-d, who showered our ancestors with blessings in days gone by.
Bless us now, Adonai, as you did for our fathers.
Bless us by the merit of Abraham, who abandoned the faith of his fathers.
Bless us by the merit of Isaac, who loved one above another.
Bless us by the merit of Jacob, who wrestled with El.
Bless us now, Adonai, as you did for our mothers.
Bless us by the merit of Rachael, who stole her father’s idols.
Bless us by the merit of Leah, who took her sister's place.
Bless us by the merit of Rebekah, who set brother against brother.
Bless us by the merit of Sarah, who laughed at You,
and laughed, and laughed, and laughed.
As I do.
