ADDITIONAL BLESSINGS

After relieving oneself and washing one's hands, say:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר יָצַר אֶת הָאָדָם בְּחָכְמָה, וּבָרָא
בּוֹ נְקָבִים נְקָבִים, חֲלוּלִים חֲלוּלִים. גָּלוּי וְיָדוּעַ לִפְנֵי כִסֵּא כְבוֹדֶךָ, שֶׁאִם יִפָּתֵחַ
אֶחָד מֵהֶם אוֹ יִסָּתֵם אֶחָד מֵהֶם, אִי אֶפְשַׁר לְהִתְקַיֵּם וְלַעֲמוֹד לְפָנֶיךָ אֲפִלּוּ
שָׁעָה אֶחָת. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה, רוֹפֵא כָל בָּשָׂר וּמַפְלִיא לַעֲשׂוֹת.
Sephardi
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam, asher yatzar et ha'adam bechochmah, uvara
bo nekavim nekavim, chalulim chalulim. Galui veyadua lifnei kise kevodecha, she'im yipateach
echad meihem o yisatem echad mehem, i efshar lehitkayem vela'amod lefanecha afilu
sha'ah echat. Baruch atah Adonai, rofei chol basar umafli la'asot.
English
Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who formed man in wisdom and created in him many orifices and cavities. It is revealed and known before the throne of Your glory that were one of them to be ruptured or blocked, it would be impossible to survive and stand before You, even for one moment. Blessed are You, LORD, Healer of all flesh who does wondrous deeds.
On visiting a cemetery, or seeing a Jewish grave, for the first time in thirty days:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר יָצַר אֶתְכֶם בַּדִּין, וְזָן וְכִלְכֵּל
אֶתְכֶם בַּדִּין, וְהֵמִית אֶתְכֶם בַּדִּין, וְיוֹדֵעַ מִסְפַּר כֻּלְּכֶם בַּדִּין, וְהוּא עָתִיד
לְהַחֲיוֹתְכֶם וּלְקַיֵּם אֶתְכֶם בַּדִּין. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה, מְחַיֵּה הַמֵּתִים.
Sephardi
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam, asher yatzar etchem badin, vezan vechilkel
etchem badin, vehemit etchem badin, veyodea mispar kulchem badin, vehu atid
lehachayotchem ulekayem etchem badin. Baruch atah Adonai, mechayeh hameitim.
English
Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who formed you in judgment, who nourished and sustained you in judgment, who brought death on you in judgment, who knows the number of you all in judgment, and who in the future will restore you to life in judgment. Blessed are You, LORD, who revives the dead.
Hebrew
אַתָּה גִּבּוֹר לְעוֹלָם אֲדֹנָי, מְחַיֵּה מֵתִים אַתָּה, רַב לְהוֹשִׁיעַ. מְכַלְכֵּל חַיִּים
בְּחֶסֶד, מְחַיֵּה מֵתִים בְּרַחֲמִים רַבִּים, סוֹמֵךְ נוֹפְלִים, וְרוֹפֵא חוֹלִים, וּמַתִּיר
אֲסוּרִים, וּמְקַיֵּם אֱמוּנָתוֹ לִישֵׁנֵי עָפָר. מִי כָמוֹךָ בַּעַל גְּבוּרוֹת וּמִי דּוֹמֶה לָּךְ,
מֶלֶךְ מֵמִית וּמְחַיֶּה וּמַצְמִיחַ יְשׁוּעָה, וְנֶאֱמָן אַתָּה לְהַחֲיוֹת מֵתִים.
Sephardi
Atah gibor le'olam Adonai, mechayeh meitim atah, rav lehoshi'a. Mechalkel chayim
bechesed, mechayeh meitim berachamim rabim, somech noflim, verofe cholim, umatir
asurim, umekayem emunato lishenei afar. Mi chamocha ba'al gevurot umi domeh lach,
melech memit umechayeh umatzmiach yeshu'ah, vene'eman atah lehachayot meitim.
English
You are eternally mighty, LORD. You give life to the dead and have great power to save. He sustains the living with loving-kindness, and with great compassion revives the dead. He supports the fallen, heals the sick, sets captives free, and keeps His faith with those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, Master of might, and who can compare to You, O King who brings death and gives life, and makes salvation grow? Faithful are You to revive the dead.
In special cases of urgency only (see law 364), the following short form of the Amida may be said. First say the first three blessings of the Amida from "O LORD" on page 112 until "the holy God" page 118, then say:
Hebrew
הֲבִינֵנוּ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ לָדַעַת דְּרָכֶיךָ, וּמוֹל אֶת לְבָבֵנוּ לְיִרְאָתֶךָ, וְתִסְלַח לָנוּ
לִהְיוֹת גְּאוּלִים, וּרְחָקֵנוּ מִמַּכְאוֹב, וְדַשְּׁנֵנוּ בִּנְאוֹת אַרְצֶךָ, וּנְפוּצוֹתֵינוּ מֵאַרְבַּע
תְּקַבֵּץ, וְהַתּוֹעִים עַל דַּעְתְּךָ יִשָּׁפֵטוּ, וְעַל הָרְשָׁעִים תָּנִיף יָדֶךָ, וְיִשְׂמְחוּ צַדִּיקִים
בְּבִנְיַן עִירֶךָ וּבְתִקּוּן הֵיכָלֶךָ, וּבִצְמִיחַת קֶרֶן לְדָוִד עַבְדֶּךָ וּבַעֲרִיכַת נֵר לְבֶן יִשַׁי
מְשִׁיחֶךָ, טֶרֶם נִקְרָא אַתָּה תַעֲנֶה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה, שׁוֹמֵעַ תְּפִלָּה.
Sephardi
Havinenu Adonai Eloheinu lada'at derachecha, umol et levaveinu leyir'atecha, vetislach lanu
lihyot ge'ulim, urechakenu mimach'ov, vedashnenu bin'ot artzecha, unefutzoteinu me'arba
tekabetz, vehato'im al da'techa yishafetu, ve'al harsha'im tanif yadecha, veyismechu tzadikim
bebinyan irecha uvetikun heichalecha, uvitzmichat keren ledavid avdecha uva'arichat ner leven yishai
meshichecha, terem nikra atah ta'ane. Baruch atah Adonai, shomea tefilah.
English
Grant us understanding, LORD our God, to know Your ways. Sensitize our hearts so that we may revere You, and forgive us so that we may be redeemed. Keep us far from suffering and satisfy us with the pastures of Your land. Gather our scattered people from the four quarters of the earth. May those who go astray be judged according to Your will: raise Your hand against the wicked. May the righteous rejoice in the rebuilding of Your city, the restoration of Your Temple, the flowering of Your servant David's glory, and the radiant light of the son of Jesse, Your anointed. May You answer us even before we call. Blessed are You, LORD, who listens to prayer.
Continue with the final three blessings from "Find favor" on page 130 until the end.
In extreme cases where there is no time to say the abbreviated Amida above, one may say the following. However, if prayer is then possible at a later time, one should say the complete Amida.
Hebrew
צָרְכֵי עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל מְרֻבִּים וְדַעְתָּם קְצָרָה. יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ
וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, שֶׁתִּתֵּן לְכָל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד כְּדֵי פַרְנָסָתוֹ, וּלְכָל גּוּיָה וּגְוִיָּה דֵּי
מַחְסוֹרָהּ, וְהַטּוֹב בְּעֵינֶיךָ עֲשֵׂה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה, שׁוֹמֵעַ תְּפִלָּה.
Sephardi
Tzarchei amecha Yisrael merubim veda'tam ketzarah. Yehi ratzon milfanecha Adonai Eloheinu
veilohei avoteinu, shetiten lechol echad ve'echad kedei parnasato, ulechol guyah ugviyah dei
machsorah, vehatov be'einecha aseh. Baruch atah Adonai, shomea tefilah.
English
The needs of Your people Israel are many, and their patience is thin. May it be Your will, LORD our God and God of our ancestors, to give each one of them enough to sustain him, and to every single body, all that it lacks – and perform what is right in Your eyes. Blessed are You, LORD, who listens to prayer.
