על הצדיקים

THE RIGHTEOUS

Hebrew

עַל־הַצַּדִּיקִים וְעַל־הַחֲסִידִים וְעַל־זִקְנֵי עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל־פְּלֵיטַת בֵּית סוֹפְרֵיהֶם וְעַל־גֵּרֵי הַצֶּדֶק וְעָלֵינוּ יֶהֱמוּ נָא רַחֲמֶיךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ. וְתֵן שָׂכָר טוֹב לְכָל־הַבּוֹטְחִים בְּשִׁמְךָ בֶּאֱמֶת, וְשִׂים חֶלְקֵנוּ עִמָּהֶם, וּלְעוֹלָם לֹא נֵבוֹשׁ כִּי בְךָ בָטָחְנוּ וְעַל חַסְדְּךָ הַגָּדוֹל בֶּאֱמֶת נִשְׁעָנְנוּ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה, מִשְׁעָן וּמִבְטָח לַצַּדִּיקִים.

English

To the righteous, the pious, the elders of the remnant of Your people the house of Israel, the survivors among their scholars, the righteous converts, and to us, may Your compassion be aroused, please, LORD our God. Grant a good reward to all who sincerely trust in Your name. Set our lot with them, so that we may never be ashamed, for in You we trust, and upon Your great loving-kindness we truly depend. Blessed are You, LORD, who is the support and trust of the righteous.

REBUILDING JERUSALEM

Hebrew

וְלִירוּשָׁלַיִם עִירְךָ בְּרַחֲמִים תָּשׁוּב, וְתִשְׁכּוֹן בְּתוֹכָהּ כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ, וּבְנֵה אוֹתָהּ בְּקָרוֹב בְּיָמֵינוּ בִּנְיַן עוֹלָם, וְכִסֵּא דָוִד עַבְדְּךָ מְהֵרָה לְתוֹכָהּ תָּכִין. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה, בּוֹנֵה יְרוּשָׁלָיִם.

English

To Jerusalem, Your city, may You return in compassion, and may You dwell in it as You promised. May You rebuild it rapidly in our days as an everlasting structure, and install within it soon the throne of David, Your servant. Blessed are You, LORD, who builds Jerusalem.

// Commentary

עַל הַצַדִּיקִים Blessing 13: The Righteous. After mentioning those who harm the Jewish people, we go on to describe those who endow it with greatness: the righteous, the pious, the elders, scholars and converts. פְּלֵיטַת סוֹפְרֵיהֶם The survivors among their scholars is a reference to those Jews who endured religious persecution under the Greeks and Romans, and later, those who survived the Crusades and those who lived through the Holocaust. Judaism lost many of its greatest scholars as martyrs.

וְלִירוּשָׁלַיִם Blessing 14: Rebuilding Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the home of the Jewish soul, the place to which we turn in prayer and for whose restoration Jews prayed in every generation. The book of Psalms has left us an indelible description of how Jews felt when the city fell to the Babylonians in the sixth century BCE: “By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion... May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy” (Psalm 137). Jerusalem is mentioned more than 600 times in the Hebrew Bible.
