Arvit (Ma’ariv) for Shabbat

Arvit Shel Shabbat is similar in essence and structure to the weekday evening prayer, but it distinguishes itself through its unique melodies and tunes, in the formulation of unified blessings, and in additional elements unique to it.

Following the psalms of welcoming the Shabbat, the prayer commences with either the Half Kaddish or Barechu, depending on customs, followed by the blessings of the Keriat Shema. In the Hashkivenu prayer, there is a modification in the prayer text for Shabbat, with the main addition being the request for God to spread over us the Sukkah of peace. In the Sephardic version, the detailed enumeration of afflictions found in the weekday prayer is minimized, likely to avoid addressing matters that might cause distress on Shabbat. After that, the congregation recites the "Veshameru" passage (Exodus 31:16-17).

The Amidah prayer for Shabbat has its own unique formulation. Instead of the thirteen intermediate blessings of the weekday Amidah, there is a single blessing that focuses on Shabbat, concluding with "Mekadesh HaShabbat," sanctifying the Shabbat. The worshiper engages solely in the experience of Shabbat.

Following the Amidah, the congregation remains standing and collectively recites with melody the verses "Vaykhulu Hashamayim..." (Genesis 2:1-3). These verses, excerpted from the Creation story, emphasize the blessing of the Shabbat, its sanctity, and the rest within it.

Immediately after, the cantor recites the abbreviated repetition of the Amidah, "Birkat Me'en Sheva". This unique custom aims to linger a bit in the synagogue so that those who delay coming to the popular evening prayer, won't need to return home alone. Usually, a sermon is delivered during the prayer, utilizing the pulpit for religious teachings. The prayer also offers a platform for community announcements. The evening prayer is highly popular, attracting Jews from all walks of life and often serving as a social gathering opportunity upon exiting the synagogue.

In many synagogues, there was even a practice to recite Kiddush after the evening prayer for the worshipers and guests, but today this custom has ceased.

At the end of the prayer, it is customary to sing the piyutim "Yigdal" or "Adon Olam".

In Nusach Sefard it is customary to precede the Friday evening prayer with KeGavna, taken from the Zohar: KEGAVNA Just as they [the “Zeir Anpin,”comprising the six divine Kabbalistic Sefirot of Chesed, Gevurah, Tiphereth, Netzach, Hod and Yesod] unite above in oneness, so does she [The Kabbalistic Sefira of Malkhut] unifies below in the secret of oneness, to be joined with them that are above, one against one. The Almighty, one above, does not sit on his throne of glory until she unifies in the secret of oneness, akin to Him, becoming one to one. And here we have been enlightened the secret of “God is one and His name is one” (Zechariah 14, 9). The secret of Shabbat: She, the Shabbat, unifies in the secret of oneness, to be imbued by the secret of oneness. [During] the Shabbat evening prayer, the holy throne [The Sefira of Malkhut] is unified by the secret of oneness, and prepares herself to be imbued by the supreme holy king. When Shabbat enters, she unifies and separates from the “Other Side'', and all judgments remove themselves from her, and she remains in the unification of the holy light, and is adorned with several crowns for the holy king, and all governments of anger and all prosecutors flee and withdraw from her, and there is no other government in all the worlds. And her face shines with transcendent light, and she is adorned below among the holy nation, and all are adorned with new souls. Then begins the prayer, to joyously bless her with a radiant face.

KRIAT SHEMA BLESSINGS The Chazzan says: Bless Hashem Who is blessed. The congregation responds and the Chazzan repeats: Blessed is Hashem, Who is blessed forever and ever.

KRIAT SHEMA (Almighty, faithful King) Hear, Israel: Hashem is our God, Hashem is One. The following three lines are to be said silently: Blessed [is His] Name, Whose glorious kingdom is forever and ever. And you shall love Hashem your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your possessions. And these words which I command you today, shall be upon your heart. And you shall teach them sharply to your children. And you shall discuss them when you sit in your house, and when you travel on the road, and when you lie down and when you rise. And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for totafot between your eyes. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gateways. And it will be— if you vigilantly obey My commandments which I command you this day, to love Hashem your God, and serve Him with your entire hearts and with your entire souls— that I will give rain for your land in its proper time, the early (autumn) rain and the late (spring) rain; and you will harvest your grain and your wine and your oil. And I will put grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. Beware lest your hearts be swayed and you turn astray, and you worship alien gods and bow to them. And Hashem's fury will blaze among you, and He will close off the heavens and there will be no rain and the earth will not yield its produce; and you will perish swiftly from the good land which Hashem gives you. Place these words of Mine upon your hearts and upon your souls,— and bind them for a sign upon your hands, and they shall be for totafot between your eyes. And you shall teach them to your sons, to speak them when you sit in your house, and when you travel on the road, and when you lie down and when you rise. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gateways. In order that your days be prolonged, and the days of your children, upon the land which Hashem swore to your fathers to give them [for as long] as the heavens are above the earth. And Hashem spoke to Moses saying: Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them to make for themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations; and they will place with the fringes of each corner a thread of blue. And it will be to you for fringes, and you will look upon it and you will remember all the commandments of Hashem, and you will perform them; and you will not turn aside after your hearts and after your eyes which cause you to go astray. In order that you will remember and perform all My commandments; and you will be holy unto your God. I am Hashem, your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am Hashem, your God— —is true— The chazan repeats: Hashem, your God, is true. —and faithful is all this, and it is permanently established with us that he is Hashem, our God, and there is nothing besides Him, and that we, Israel, are His people. [He] Who liberated us from the hand of kings, [is] our King, Who redeemed us from the grasp of all the tyrants. [He is] the Almighty Who exacts payment [punishment] from our oppressors, and brings retribution on all those who are enemies of our soul. He does great things beyond comprehension, miracles and wonders without number. He sustains our soul in life and does not allow our feet to slip. He makes us tread upon the high places of our enemies, and exalts our strength over all who hate us. He performed miracles for us and vengeance upon Pharaoh, signs and wonders in the land of the Hamites. He slew in His wrath, all the firstborn of Egypt, and brought out His people, Israel, from their midst to everlasting freedom. He led His children through the divided parts of the Sea of Reeds, their pursuers and their enemies He drowned in its depths. And His children saw His mighty power— they praised and gave thanks to His Name, His sovereignty they willingly accepted; Moses and the children of Israel sang unto You with great joy, and they all said: “Who is like You among the mighty, Hashem! Who is like You? [You are] adorned in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders” Your children beheld Your sovereignty when You divided the sea before Moses. “This is my God,” they exclaimed, and declared, “Hashem will reign forever and ever.” And it is said, “For Hashem has liberated Jacob and redeemed him from a hand, mightier than his.” Blessed are You, Hashem Who has redeemed Israel.

And spread over us the shelter of mercy, life and peace. Blessed are You, Hashem, Who spreads the shelter of peace over us and over all His people, Israel and over Jerusalem.

Blessed are You, Hashem, Shield of Abraham.

DIVINE SANCTIFICATION You are holy and Your Name is holy and holy beings praise You every day, forever. For a great and Almighty King— great and holy—are You. Blessed are You, Hashem, the Almighty, the Holy One ( During the Ten Days of Repentance say: the King, the Holy One.) You have sanctified the seventh day to Your Name, [it was] the purpose of making heaven and earth; and You blessed it above all days and You sanctified it above all seasons. And so it is written in Your Torah: And the heavens and the earth were completed and [so were] all their hosts. And God completed by the seventh day His work which He had done, and He abstained on the seventh day, from all His work which He had done. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it for on it He abstained from all His work which God had created to do. They will rejoice in Your Kingship those who preserve the Shabbat and call it a delight The people who sanctify the seventh [day] will all be satisfied and delighted from Your goodness. And in the seventh [day], You took pleasure and made it holy. “Most desirable of days,” You called it, in commemoration of the work of the [world's] beginning. Our God, and God of our fathers, be pleased with our rest, sanctify us with Your commandments and give us our share in Your Torah; satisfy us from Your goodness and gladden us with Your deliverance, and purify our hearts to serve You in truth. And give us as our inheritance, Hashem our God, in love and in pleasure Your holy Shabbat; and may all Israel rest thereon— the sanctifiers of Your Name. Blessed are You Hashem, Sanctifier of Shabbat.

And may You always find pleasure with the service of Your people, Israel. On Rosh Chodesh and on Chol HaMoed, the following prayer is added: Our God and God of our fathers, may there ascend, come, and reach, appear, be desired, and heard, counted and recalled our remembrance and reckoning; the remembrance of our fathers; the remembrance of the Mashiach the son of David, Your servant; the remembrance of Jerusalem, city of Your Sanctuary; and the remembrance of Your entire people, the House of Israel, before You for survival, for well-being, for favor, kindliness, compassion, for good life and peace on this day of: Rosh Chodesh the Festival of Matzos the Festival of Sukkos Remember us Hashem, our God, on this day for well-being; be mindful of us on this day for blessing, and deliver us for good life.

And may our eyes behold Your merciful return to Zion. Blessed are You, Hashem, Who returns His Divine Presence to Zion.

THANKSGIVING We are thankful to You that You Hashem are our God and the God of our fathers forever; Our Rock, Rock of our lives, the Shield of our deliverance, You are in every generation. We will give thanks to You and recount Your praise, for our lives which are committed into Your hand, and for our souls which are entrusted to You, and for Your miracles of every day with us, and for Your wonders and benefactions at all times— evening, morning and noon. (You are) The Beneficent One— for Your compassion is never withheld; And (You are) the Merciful One— for Your kindliness never ceases; for we have always placed our hope in You. (On Shabbat Chanukah the following prayer is added. [We thank You] for the miracles for the redemption, for the mighty deeds, for the deliverances, for the wonders for the consolations and for the wars that You performed for our fathers in those days at this season. In the days of Matisyahu, son of Yochanan the High Priest, the Hasmonean and his sons, when the evil Greek kingdom rose up against Your people Israel to make them forget Your Torah and to turn them away from the statutes of Your will— You, in Your abundant mercy, stood by them in their time of distress, You defended their cause, You judged their grievances, You avenged them. You delivered the mighty into the hands of the weak, many into the hands of the few, defiled people into the hands of the undefiled, the wicked into the hands of the righteous, and insolent [sinners] into the hands of diligent students of Your Torah. And You made Yourself a great and sanctified name in Your world. And for Your people, Israel, You performed a great deliverance and redemption unto this very day. Afterwards, Your sons entered the Holy of Holies of Your Abode, cleaned Your Temple, purified Your Sanctuary, and kindled lights in the Courtyards of Your Sanctuary, and designated these eight days of Chanukah to thank and praise Your great Name. And for all the foregoing blessed, exalted and extolled your Name, our King constantly, forever and ever. ( During the Ten Days of Repentance, add: Inscribe for a good life all the children of Your covenant.) And all the living shall thank You forever and praise and bless Your great Name with sincerity forever; for You are goodness— the Almighty, Who is our deliverance and our help forever— the benevolent Almighty. Blessed are You, Hashem, “The Beneficent” is Your Name and You it is fitting to praise.

PRAYER FOR PEACE Grant peace, goodness, and blessing, life favor, kindness and compassion upon us and upon all Israel, Your people. Bless us, our Father, all of us as one with the light of Your countenance. For by the light of Your countenance You gave us Hashem our God, a Torah of life and the love of kindliness, righteousness, blessing, compassion, life, and peace. In some Ashkanzi tradition this text is said: Abundant peace upon Israel, Your people, bestow forever, for You King are the Master of all peace. Up to here. And may it be good in Your sight to bless us and to bless Your people Israel, at all times and at every moment with Your peace (with much strength and peace). ( During the Ten Days of Repentance continue here: In the book of life, blessing, peace and abundant maintenance, good decrees, salvations and condolences, may we be remembered and inscribed before You; we and all Your people, the House of Israel for a good life and peace.) Blessed are You, Hashem, Who blesses His people Israel with peace. May they be acceptable the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart, before You Hashem, my Rock and my Redeemer. My God, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceitfully. To those who curse me, may my soul be unresponsive; and let my soul be like dust to all. Open my heart to Your Torah and let my soul pursue Your commandments. And all who plan evil against me, quickly annul their counsel and frustrate their intention. (May it it be Your will Hashem, my God and God of my fathers, that no person be envious of me and that I not be envious of others, that I not be brought to anger this day, and that I not cause Your anger; and save me from the evil inclination, and help me be humble and any modest. Our King and our Father, unify Your Name in Your world, rebuild Your city, establish Your house and perfect your sanctuary. Gather our exiles, redeem Your people, rejoice Your congregation. Act for the sake of Your Name. Act for the sake of Your right hand. Act for the sake of Your Torah. Act for the sake of Your holiness. In order that Your loved ones be released, deliver [with] Your right hand and answer me. May they be acceptable— the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart—before You Hashem, my Rock and my Redeemer. He Who makes peace in His high heavens may He make peace upon us and upon all Israel and say Amen. May it be Your will, Hashem, our God, and the God of our Fathers that the Holy Temple be rebuilt speedily in our days, and grant us our share in Your Torah. And there we will serve You reverently as in the days of old, and in earlier years. And let Hashem be pleased with the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem as in the days of old and in earlier years.

And God completed by the seventh day His work which He had done, and He abstained on the seventh day, from all His work which He had done. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it for on it He abstained from all His work which God had created to do.

במסורות הספרדיות ובנוסח ספרד נהוג לומר כאן: תהלים כג מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד, ה' רֹעִי לֹא אֶחְסָר: בִּנְאוֹת דֶּשֶׁא יַרְבִּיצֵנִי, עַל־מֵי מְנֻחוֹת יְנַהֲלֵנִי: נַפְשִׁי יְשׁוֹבֵב, יַנְחֵנִי בְמַעְגְּלֵי־צֶדֶק לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ: גַּם כִּי־אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת לֹא־אִירָא רָע כִּי־אַתָּה עִמָּדִי, שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ הֵמָּה יְנַחֲמֻנִי: תַּעֲרֹךְ לְפָנַי שֻׁלְחָן נֶגֶד צֹרְרָי, דִּשַּׁנְתָּ בַשֶּׁמֶן רֹאשִׁי, כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה: אַךְ טוֹב וָחֶסֶד יִרְדְּפוּנִי כָּל־יְמֵי חַיָּי, וְשַׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית־ה' לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים:	In Sephardic traditions and in Nusach Sefard, it is customary to say at this point: TEHILIM 23 A Psalm of David, Hashem is my shepherd, I shall lack nothing. In lush pastures He makes me lie, besides tranquil waters, He leads me. My soul, He restores, He directs me in paths of righteousness for the sake of His Name. Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me, Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table for me in the full presence of my enemies, You anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. [May] only good and kindness pursue me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the House of Hashem for long days.

The congregation responds and the Chazzan repeats: Blessed is Hashem, Who is blessed forever and ever. It is our obligation to praise the Master of all, to ascribe greatness to the Creator of the [world in the] beginning: that He has not made us like the nations of the lands, and has not positioned us like the families of the earth; that He has not assigned our portion like theirs, nor our lot like that of all their multitudes. For they prostrate themselves to vanity and nothingness, and pray to a god that cannot deliver. But we bow, prostrate ourselves, and offer thanks before the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One blessed is He, Who spreads the heavens, and establishes the earth, and the seat of His glory is in heaven above, and the abode of His invincible might is in the loftiest heights. He is our God, there is nothing else. Our King is true, all else is insignificant, as it is written in His Torah: “And You shall know this day and take into Your heart that Hashem is God in the heavens above and upon the earth below; there is nothing else.” We therefore put our hope in You, Hashem our God, to soon behold the glory of Your might in banishing idolatry from the earth, and the false gods will be utterly exterminated to perfect the world as the kingdom of Shadai. And all mankind will invoke Your Name, to turn back to You, all the wicked of the earth. They will realize and know, all the inhabitants of the world, that to You, every knee must bend, every tongue must swear [allegiance to You]. Before You, Hashem, our God, they will bow and prostrate themselves, and to the glory of Your Name give honor. And they will all accept [upon themselves] the yoke of Your kingdom, and You will reign over them, soon, forever and ever. For the kingdom is Yours, and to all eternity You will reign in glory, as it is written in Your Torah: “Hashem will reign forever and ever.” And it is said: “And Hashem will be King over the whole earth; on that day Hashem will be One and His Name One.” It is customary to sing after the prayer the piyut Adon Olam, and some say these Pesukim after: Do not fear sudden terror nor the destruction of the wicked when it comes. Take counsel together and it will be foiled speak the word and it will not stand for God is with us. To your old age I am [with you], to your older years I will sustain you, I have made you, and I will carry you, I will sustain you and save you.

In Nusach Sefard it is customary to precede the Friday evening prayer with KeGavna, taken from the Zohar:

KEGAVNA

Just as they [the “Zeir Anpin,”comprising the six divine Kabbalistic Sefirot of Chesed, Gevurah, Tiphereth, Netzach, Hod and Yesod] unite above in oneness, so does she [The Kabbalistic Sefira of Malkhut] unifies below in the secret of oneness, to be joined with them that are above, one against one. The Almighty, one above, does not sit on his throne of glory until she unifies in the secret of oneness, akin to Him, becoming one to one. And here we have been enlightened the secret of “God is one and His name is one” (Zechariah 14, 9).
The secret of Shabbat: She, the Shabbat, unifies in the secret of oneness, to be imbued by the secret of oneness.
[During] the Shabbat evening prayer, the holy throne [The Sefira of Malkhut] is unified by the secret of oneness, and prepares herself to be imbued by the supreme holy king.

When Shabbat enters, she unifies and separates from the “Other Side'', and all judgments remove themselves from her, and she remains in the unification of the holy light, and is adorned with several crowns for the holy king, and all governments of anger and all prosecutors flee and withdraw from her, and there is no other government in all the worlds.
And her face shines with transcendent light, and she is adorned below among the holy nation, and all are adorned with new souls. Then begins the prayer, to joyously bless her with a radiant face.

KRIAT SHEMA BLESSINGS
The Chazzan says: Bless Hashem Who is blessed.
The congregation responds and the Chazzan repeats: Blessed is Hashem, Who is blessed forever and ever.

Blessed are You, Hashem,
our God, King of the Universe,
With His word He brings on evenings,
with wisdom He opens the gates (of heaven);
and with understanding changes the times
and alternates the seasons,
and arranges the stars
in their watches, in the sky,
according to His will.
He creates day and night,
He rolls the light away from before darkness,
and darkness from before light;
He causes day to pass
and brings night,
and separates between day and night;
Hashem of Hosts is His Name.
The Almighty,
[Who is] living and enduring
will always reign over us
forever and ever.
Blessed are You, Hashem,
Who brings on the evenings.

[With] An everlasting love
You loved the House of Israel, Your people.
Torah and commandments,
statutes and laws,
You taught us.
Therefore, Hashem, our God,
when we lie down and when we rise,
we will discuss Your statutes,
and rejoice
in the words of the teachings of Your Torah
and in Your commandments forever.
For they are our life
and they lengthen our days,
and on them we will meditate day and night.
[May] Your love
never be removed from us
Blessed are You, Hashem,
Who loves His people Israel.

The following three lines are to be said silently: Blessed [is His] Name, Whose glorious kingdom is forever and ever.

And you shall love Hashem your God
with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your possessions.
And these words
which I command you today,
shall be upon your heart.
And you shall teach them sharply
to your children.
And you shall discuss them
when you sit in your house,
and when you travel on the road,
and when you lie down and when you rise.
And you shall bind them for a sign
upon your hand,
and they shall be for totafot
between your eyes.
And you shall write them
upon the doorposts of your house
and upon your gateways.

And it will be—
if you vigilantly obey My commandments
which I command you this day,
to love Hashem your God,
and serve Him
with your entire hearts
and with your entire souls—
that I will give rain for your land
in its proper time,
the early (autumn) rain
and the late (spring) rain;
and you will harvest your grain
and your wine and your oil.
And I will put grass
in your fields for your cattle,
and you will eat and be satisfied.
Beware lest your hearts be swayed
and you turn astray,
and you worship alien gods
and bow to them.
And Hashem's fury will blaze among you,
and He will close off the heavens
and there will be no rain
and the earth will not yield its produce;
and you will perish swiftly
from the good land
which Hashem gives you.
Place these words of Mine
upon your hearts and upon your souls,—
and bind them for a sign
upon your hands,
and they shall be for totafot
between your eyes.
And you shall teach them to your sons,
to speak them
when you sit in your house,
and when you travel on the road,
and when you lie down and when you rise.
And you shall write them
upon the doorposts of your house
and upon your gateways.
In order that your days be prolonged,
and the days of your children,
upon the land
which Hashem swore to your fathers
to give them [for as long]
as the heavens are above the earth.

And Hashem spoke to Moses saying:
Speak to the children of Israel,
and tell them
to make for themselves fringes
on the corners of their garments
throughout their generations;
and they will place with the fringes
of each corner
a thread of blue.
And it will be to you for fringes,
and you will look upon it
and you will remember
all the commandments of Hashem,
and you will perform them;
and you will not turn aside after your hearts
and after your eyes
which cause you to go astray.
In order that you will remember
and perform all My commandments;
and you will be holy unto your God.
I am Hashem, your God,
Who brought you out
of the land of Egypt
to be your God:
I am Hashem, your God—
—is true—

The chazan repeats:
Hashem, your God, is true.

—and faithful is all this,
and it is permanently established with us
that he is Hashem, our God,
and there is nothing besides Him,
and that we, Israel, are His people.
[He] Who liberated us
from the hand of kings,
[is] our King, Who redeemed us
from the grasp of all the tyrants.
[He is] the Almighty
Who exacts payment [punishment]
from our oppressors,
and brings retribution
on all those who are enemies of our soul.
He does great things
beyond comprehension,
miracles and wonders without number.
He sustains our soul in life
and does not allow our feet to slip.
He makes us tread
upon the high places of our enemies,
and exalts our strength
over all who hate us.
He performed miracles for us
and vengeance upon Pharaoh,
signs and wonders
in the land of the Hamites.
He slew in His wrath,
all the firstborn of Egypt,
and brought out His people, Israel,
from their midst
to everlasting freedom.
He led His children
through the divided parts of
the Sea of Reeds,
their pursuers and their enemies
He drowned in its depths.
And His children saw His mighty power—
they praised and gave thanks to His Name,
His sovereignty
they willingly accepted;
Moses and the children of Israel
sang unto You with great joy,
and they all said:
“Who is like You among the mighty, Hashem!
Who is like You?
[You are] adorned in holiness,
awesome in praise, performing wonders”
Your children beheld Your sovereignty
when You divided the sea before Moses.
“This is my God,” they exclaimed,
and declared,
“Hashem will reign forever and ever.”
And it is said,
“For Hashem has liberated Jacob
and redeemed him
from a hand, mightier than his.”
Blessed are You, Hashem
Who has redeemed Israel.

and over Jerusalem.

DIVINE SANCTIFICATION
You are holy and Your Name is holy
and holy beings
praise You every day, forever.
For a great and Almighty King—
great and holy—are You.
Blessed are You, Hashem,
the Almighty, the Holy One ( During the Ten Days of Repentance say: the King, the Holy One.)

You have sanctified the seventh day
to Your Name,
[it was] the purpose of
making heaven and earth;
and You blessed it above all days
and You sanctified it above all seasons.
And so it is written in Your Torah:
And the heavens and the earth were completed
and [so were] all their hosts.
And God completed by the seventh day
His work which He had done,
and He abstained on the seventh day,
from all His work which He had done.
And God blessed the seventh day
and sanctified it
for on it He abstained
from all His work
which God had created to do.
They will rejoice in Your Kingship
those who preserve the Shabbat
and call it a delight
The people who sanctify the seventh [day]
will all be satisfied
and delighted from Your goodness.
And in the seventh [day], You took pleasure
and made it holy.
“Most desirable of days,” You called it,
in commemoration
of the work of the [world's] beginning.
Our God, and God of our fathers,
be pleased with our rest,
sanctify us with Your commandments
and give us our share in Your Torah;
satisfy us from Your goodness
and gladden us with Your deliverance,
and purify our hearts to serve You in truth.
And give us as our inheritance,
Hashem our God,
in love and in pleasure
Your holy Shabbat;
and may all Israel rest thereon—
the sanctifiers of Your Name.
Blessed are You Hashem,
Sanctifier of Shabbat.

PRAYER FOR RETURN OF DIVINE SERVICE
Be pleased, Hashem, our God,
with Your people Israel
and pay heed to their prayer;
and restore the service
to the Holy of Holies in Your abode,
and the fire-offerings of Israel;
and accept their prayer, lovingly
and willingly.
And may You always find pleasure
with the service of Your people, Israel.

On Rosh Chodesh and on Chol HaMoed, the following prayer is added:
Our God and God of our fathers,
may there ascend, come, and reach,
appear, be desired, and heard,
counted and recalled
our remembrance and reckoning;
the remembrance of our fathers;
the remembrance of the Mashiach
the son of David, Your servant;
the remembrance of Jerusalem,
city of Your Sanctuary;
and the remembrance of Your entire people,
the House of Israel, before You
for survival, for well-being,
for favor, kindliness, compassion,
for good life and peace
on this day of:
Rosh Chodesh
the Festival of Matzos
the Festival of Sukkos
Remember us Hashem, our God,
on this day for well-being;
be mindful of us on this day for blessing,
and deliver us for good life.
In accord with the promise of deliverance
and compassion,
spare us and favor us,
have compassion on us and deliver us;
for to You our eyes are directed
because You are the Almighty
Who is King, Gracious, and Merciful.

And may our eyes behold
Your merciful return to Zion.
Blessed are You, Hashem,
Who returns His Divine Presence to Zion.

THANKSGIVING
We are thankful to You
that You Hashem are our God
and the God of our fathers forever;
Our Rock, Rock of our lives,
the Shield of our deliverance,
You are in every generation.
We will give thanks to You
and recount Your praise,
for our lives
which are committed into Your hand,
and for our souls
which are entrusted to You,
and for Your miracles of every day with us,
and for Your wonders and benefactions
at all times—
evening, morning and noon.
(You are) The Beneficent One—
for Your compassion is never withheld;
And (You are) the Merciful One—
for Your kindliness never ceases;
for we have always placed our hope in You.

(On Shabbat Chanukah the following prayer is added.

[We thank You] for the miracles
for the redemption, for the mighty deeds,
for the deliverances, for the wonders
for the consolations and for the wars
that You performed for our fathers
in those days at this season.
In the days of Matisyahu,
son of Yochanan the High Priest,
the Hasmonean and his sons,
when the evil Greek kingdom rose up
against Your people Israel
to make them forget Your Torah
and to turn them away
from the statutes of Your will—
You, in Your abundant mercy,
stood by them in their time of distress,
You defended their cause,
You judged their grievances,
You avenged them.
You delivered the mighty
into the hands of the weak,
many into the hands of the few,
defiled people into the hands of the undefiled,
the wicked into the hands of the righteous,
and insolent [sinners] into the hands of
diligent students of Your Torah.
And You made Yourself
a great and sanctified name in Your world.
And for Your people, Israel,
You performed a great deliverance
and redemption unto this very day.
Afterwards, Your sons entered
the Holy of Holies of Your Abode,
cleaned Your Temple,
purified Your Sanctuary,
and kindled lights
in the Courtyards of Your Sanctuary,
and designated these eight days of Chanukah
to thank and praise Your great Name.

And for all the foregoing
blessed, exalted and extolled
your Name, our King
constantly, forever and ever.

( During the Ten Days of Repentance, add:
Inscribe for a good life
all the children of Your covenant.)
And all the living shall thank You forever
and praise and bless
Your great Name with sincerity forever;
for You are goodness—
the Almighty, Who is our deliverance
and our help forever—
the benevolent Almighty.
Blessed are You, Hashem,
“The Beneficent” is Your Name
and You it is fitting to praise.

PRAYER FOR PEACE
Grant peace, goodness, and blessing,
life favor, kindness and compassion
upon us and upon all Israel, Your people.
Bless us, our Father, all of us as one
with the light of Your countenance.
For by the light of Your countenance
You gave us Hashem our God,
a Torah of life and the love of kindliness,
righteousness, blessing, compassion,
life, and peace.

In some Ashkanzi tradition this text is said:
Abundant peace
upon Israel, Your people,
bestow forever,
for You King
are the Master of all peace.
Up to here.

And may it be good in Your sight
to bless us
and to bless Your people Israel,
at all times and at every moment
with Your peace
(with much strength and peace).

( During the Ten Days of Repentance continue here: In the book of life, blessing, peace
and abundant maintenance, good decrees, salvations and condolences,
may we be remembered and inscribed before You; we and all Your people, the House of Israel for a good life and peace.)

Blessed are You, Hashem,
Who blesses His people Israel
with peace.

May they be acceptable
the words of my mouth
and the thoughts of my heart, before You
Hashem, my Rock and my Redeemer.

My God, guard my tongue from evil
and my lips from speaking deceitfully.
To those who curse me,
may my soul be unresponsive;
and let my soul be like dust to all.
Open my heart to Your Torah
and let my soul pursue Your commandments.
And all who plan evil against me,
quickly annul their counsel
and frustrate their intention.
(May it it be Your will
Hashem, my God and God of my fathers,
that no person be envious of me
and that I not be envious of others,
that I not be brought to anger this day,
and that I not cause Your anger;
and save me from the evil inclination,
and help me be humble and any modest.

Our King and our Father,
unify Your Name in Your world,
rebuild Your city, establish Your house
and perfect your sanctuary.
Gather our exiles,
redeem Your people, rejoice Your congregation.
Act for the sake of Your Name.
Act for the sake of Your right hand.
Act for the sake of Your Torah.
Act for the sake of Your holiness.
In order that Your loved ones be released,
deliver [with] Your right hand and answer me.

May they be acceptable—
the words of my mouth
and the thoughts of my heart—before You
Hashem, my Rock and my Redeemer.

He Who makes peace
in His high heavens
may He make peace
upon us and upon all Israel
and say Amen.

May it be Your will,
Hashem, our God, and the God of our Fathers
that the Holy Temple be rebuilt
speedily in our days,
and grant us our share in Your Torah.
And there we will serve You reverently
as in the days of old,
and in earlier years.
And let Hashem be pleased
with the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem
as in the days of old and in earlier years.

VAYKHULU
And the heavens and the earth were completed
and [so were] all their hosts.
And God completed by the seventh day
His work which He had done,
and He abstained on the seventh day,
from all His work which He had done.
And God blessed the seventh day
and sanctified it
for on it He abstained
from all His work
which God had created to do.

BIRKAT ME'EN SHEVA
Blessed are You, Hashem,
our God and God of our fathers,
God of Abraham, God of Isaac,
and God of Jacob;
the Almighty,
the Great, the Powerful, the Awesome,
the most high Almighty,
Possessor of heaven and earth.

Shield of [our] fathers with His word,
Resurrector of the dead
with His utterance;
the Almighty, the Holy One ( In Shabbat Shuva, substitute: the King, the Holy One)
Who has no peer.
He gives rest to His people
on the day of His holy Shabbat
for with them He was pleased
to grant them rest.
Before Him we will serve
with fear and trepidation,
and give thanks to His Name
every day continuously,
from the essence of the blessings.
Almighty of thanksgiving,
Master of peace,
Sanctifier of the Shabbat,
Who blesses the seventh day
and grants rest in sanctity
to a people sated with delight—
in commemoration of the work of creation.
Our God, and God of our fathers,
be pleased with our rest,
sanctify us with Your commandments
and give us our share in Your Torah;
satisfy us from Your goodness
and gladden us with Your deliverance,
and purify our hearts to serve You in truth.
And give us as our inheritance,
Hashem our God,
in love and in pleasure
Your holy Shabbat;
and may Israel rest thereon—
the sanctifiers of Your Name.
Blessed are You Hashem,
Sanctifier of Shabbat.

במסורות הספרדיות ובנוסח ספרד נהוג לומר כאן:

תהלים כג

מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד, ה' רֹעִי לֹא אֶחְסָר: בִּנְאוֹת דֶּשֶׁא יַרְבִּיצֵנִי, עַל־מֵי מְנֻחוֹת יְנַהֲלֵנִי: נַפְשִׁי יְשׁוֹבֵב, יַנְחֵנִי בְמַעְגְּלֵי־צֶדֶק לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ: גַּם כִּי־אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת לֹא־אִירָא רָע כִּי־אַתָּה עִמָּדִי, שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ הֵמָּה יְנַחֲמֻנִי: תַּעֲרֹךְ לְפָנַי שֻׁלְחָן נֶגֶד צֹרְרָי, דִּשַּׁנְתָּ בַשֶּׁמֶן רֹאשִׁי, כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה: אַךְ טוֹב וָחֶסֶד יִרְדְּפוּנִי כָּל־יְמֵי חַיָּי, וְשַׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית־ה' לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים:

In Sephardic traditions and in Nusach Sefard, it is customary to say at this point:

TEHILIM 23

A Psalm of David,
Hashem is my shepherd, I shall lack nothing.
In lush pastures He makes me lie,
besides tranquil waters, He leads me.
My soul, He restores,
He directs me in paths of righteousness
for the sake of His Name.
Though I walk
in the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil for You are with me,
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table for me
in the full presence of my enemies,
You anointed my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
[May] only good and kindness pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the House of Hashem
for long days.

ALEINU LESHABEAH
Bless Hashem Who is blessed.
The congregation responds and the Chazzan repeats: Blessed is Hashem, Who is blessed
forever and ever.
It is our obligation to praise
the Master of all,
to ascribe greatness
to the Creator of the [world in the] beginning:
that He has not made us
like the nations of the lands,
and has not positioned us
like the families of the earth;
that He has not assigned
our portion like theirs,
nor our lot like that of all their multitudes.
For they prostrate themselves
to vanity and nothingness,
and pray to a god that cannot deliver.
But we bow, prostrate ourselves,
and offer thanks
before the Supreme King of Kings,
the Holy One blessed is He,
Who spreads the heavens,
and establishes the earth,
and the seat of His glory is in heaven above,
and the abode of His invincible might
is in the loftiest heights.
He is our God, there is nothing else.
Our King is true,
all else is insignificant,
as it is written in His Torah:
“And You shall know this day
and take into Your heart
that Hashem is God
in the heavens above
and upon the earth below;
there is nothing else.”
We therefore put our hope in You,
Hashem our God,
to soon behold the glory of Your might
in banishing idolatry from the earth,
and the false gods
will be utterly exterminated
to perfect the world
as the kingdom of Shadai.
And all mankind will invoke Your Name,
to turn back to You,
all the wicked of the earth.
They will realize and know,
all the inhabitants of the world,
that to You, every knee must bend,
every tongue must swear [allegiance to You].
Before You, Hashem, our God,
they will bow and prostrate themselves,
and to the glory of Your Name give honor.
And they will all accept [upon themselves]
the yoke of Your kingdom,
and You will reign over them, soon,
forever and ever.
For the kingdom is Yours,
and to all eternity You will reign in glory,
as it is written in Your Torah:
“Hashem will reign forever and ever.”
And it is said:
“And Hashem will be King
over the whole earth;
on that day Hashem will be One
and His Name One.”

It is customary to sing after the prayer the piyut Adon Olam, and some say these Pesukim after:
Do not fear sudden terror
nor the destruction of the wicked
when it comes.
Take counsel together and it will be foiled
speak the word and it will not stand
for God is with us.
To your old age I am [with you],
to your older years I will sustain you,
I have made you, and I will carry you,
I will sustain you and save you.
