Those who welcomed the return to school
May it be the will of the Lord our God, the God of our fathers and our mothers, that you lead them into the house of the book in peace, and guide them within its walls in peace, and bring them to the end of the year of study, which is near, to life, to joy and to peace.
And grant the hearts of our sons and daughters to understand, to be enlightened, to hear, to learn, and to teach all the words of the Talmud of Your Torah with love, and all the diverse wealth of culture, knowledge, arts, and dimensions revealed to their eyes from day to day, so that they may discover every day a new thing to be activated by the miracle. And to be alarmed by every small manifestation.
Grant in their hearts the courage to do one act of mercy every day, that they may know how to overcome the evil and appreciate the unknown, and that they may be able to find one thing each day to be grateful for.
The Lord of the world has opened the eyes of our sons and daughters who stand at the threshold of a new life of worldly discoveries, to touch and to discover new worlds within themselves.
Who will grant that our teachers, our sons and daughters, who are engaged in the kingdom of God, will know how to bestow upon them love and patience, that they will know how to cultivate and preserve in our sons and daughters the natural spark of innocence, curiosity, joy and the joy of life? Who will grant that their teachers will know how to be A model and a guide for them and for us.
May we parents have the ability to believe in the hidden strengths of our children, the ability To give them the space they need to succeed and fail at times, and the wisdom to instill in them a love of learning.
Who will give and the letters of the thousand house shall be consumed, our sons and our daughters in one day, to build the heaps of heaps of the land of Yitz'rah, for their sake, for the sake of the whole house of Israel, and for the sake of all the inhabitants of Tabeel?.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the LORD make his face shine upon you and bless you.
The LORD lift up his face toward you and give you peace.
