“This is the day the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and celebrate on it.”
On this Shabbat when our daughter becomes a Bat Mitzvah, we have come with her and our loved ones to join in worship and to offer our prayer of thanksgiving.
We are grateful, O God, for the privilege of passing along the miracle of creation. We are grateful for the years of nurturing this life, for the unnumbered joys and challenges which these years have brought us. Amen
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ
אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הַעוֹלָם,
שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ וְקִיְּמָנוּ
וְהִגִּיעָנוּ לַזְּמַן הַזֶּה.
Baruch atah adonai
elohenu, melech ha'olam,
shehecheyanu vekiyemanu
vehigiyanu lazman hazeh.
Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe who has given us life and sustained us and enabled us to reach this blessed moment.

“This is the day the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and celebrate on it.”
We give thanks for the wondrous privilege of seeing our son grow day by day, week by week, year by year. For the health and strength You have given him, for the mind and spirit with which You have endowed him, for his ability to elicit and return love – for all these precious gifts we thank You.
Watch over him, O God, on this special day and every day. Grant him a growing understanding of the true significance of this occasion and a deepening loyalty to everything which it represents. May the teachings of our heritage guide him throughout life; and may he lead a life worthy of Your blessings. Amen.
