<br>

[MOTHERS AND FATHERS]<br>

May the Lord protect and defend you.<br>

May He always shield you from shame.<br>

May you come to be<br>

In Israel a shining name.<br>

<br>

May you be like Ruth and like Esther.<br>

May you be deserving of praise.<br>

Strengthen them, Oh Lord,<br>

And keep them from the strangers' ways.<br>

<br>

May God bless you and grant you long lives.<br>

(May the Lord fulfill our Sabbath prayer for you.)<br>

May God make you good mothers and wives.<br>

(May He send you husbands who will care for you.)<br>

<br>

May the Lord protect and defend you.<br>

May the Lord preserve you from pain.<br>

Favor them, Oh Lord, with happiness and peace.<br>

Oh, hear our Sabbath prayer. Amen.<br>
