(responsive)
It is good to praise Adonai;
To sings hymns to Your name, Oh Most High,
To proclaim Your steadfast love at daybreak, your faithfulness each night,
with harp, voice, and lyre together.
You have gladdened me by your deeds, Oh Adonai;
I shout for joy at Your handiwork. How great are Your works, Adonai,
How subtle Your designs.
A brute cannot know, a fool cannot understand this:
The righteous bloom like a date­palm, They thrive like a cedar in Lebanon;
Planted in the House of Adonai,
They flourish in the courts of our God.
In old age they still produce fruit;
They are still full of sap and freshness,
Attesting that Adonai is upright,
My Rock, in Whom there is no wrong.

Ma’ariv Aravim
Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who speaks the evening into being,
skillfully opens the gates,
thoughtfully alters the time and changes the seasons, and arranges the stars in their heavenly courses according to plan.
You are the Creator of day and night,
rolling light away from darkness and darkness from light, transforming day into night and distinguishing one from the other.
Adonai Tz’vaot is Your Name.
Ever­living God, may You reign continually over us into eternity.
Blessed are You, Adonai, who brings on evening.

As You taught Torah

teach me Torah, too.
It’s mystery beckons,
yet I struggle with its truth.
You meant Torah for me;
did You mean the struggle for me, too? Don’t let me struggle alone;
help me
to understand,
to be wise, to listen, to know…
Lead me into the mystery.

V’ahavta
You shall love Adonai your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
Take to heart these words which I command you this day, teach them to your children.
Recite them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as tefillin on your forehead;
Inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Thus you shall remember to observe all My commandments and to be holy to your God.
I am Adonai, your God, who brought you forth from Mitzrayim to be your God:
I am Adonai your God. Adonai Eloheichem EMET.

Mi Chamocha
Mi cha­mo­cha ba­ei­lim A­do­nai. Mi ka­mo­cha ne­’dar ba­ko­desh. No­ra t’hi­lot o­sei fe­le.
Who is like You, O God,
among the gods that are worshipped? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in splendor, working wonders?
Your children witnessed Your sovereignty, the sea splitting before Moses and Miriam. “This is our God!” they cried.
“Adonai will reign forever and ever!”
Thus it is said,
“Adonai redeemed Jacob,
from a hand stronger
than his own.”
Praised are You, adonai, for redeeming Israel.
Baruch atah, Adonai, gaal Yisrael.

Mourner’s Kaddish
We remember those who have passed before us, those who have affected us, led us, and brought us closer to the Transcendant One.
I send you on with love in my heart,
Crying tears of joy for the life you have lived
Praising the Source of Life for connecting our lives,
I send you on to the next life
I send you on the way you lived
Embracing who you were, not the space that you leave Praising the Source of Life for allowing us to love, I send you on to the next life
I send you on without fear;
I will not curse or rend my garments
Praising the Source of Life for granting us time, I send you on to the next life.
