Birkat Ha-Mazon

 

We bless You God — you have nourished all the world

With goodness, graciousness and kindness

May You give food and life to every living thing.

May we all learn to do the same.

 

And so we thank the One Who gives us food for life.

May we provide for every living soul.

Baruch atah Adonai hazan et ha-kol.

 

We thank You, God, for the legacy we share

For the rich fertile land we inherit and steward

For the gift of freedom, of Torah and of life.

 

You give us food to live

You give us strength to give

Every day, every moment, with bracha

B’chol eit u-v’chol sha-ah.

 

O You, the God of our present and our past

Please remember those who came before us

That every blessing make our lives more whole

That every one of us be strengthened by Your light.

 

O, Source of compassion, through the ages we’ve been blessed

May all people make our world a place of peace and freedom

In our day, now, the time has come.

 

Your love surrounds us now and forever more.

You give us days of goodness and sacred times.

Here at this table, we nourish one and all.

Bring truth and justice to Heaven and to Earth.

 

Oseh shalom bimromav – hu ya-aseh shalom aleinu v’al kol yisrael v’imru amein.

 

May the One who creates peace in the heavens above create peace upon us,

upon all the Jewish people and upon all who dwell on earth and say: Amen.
