Mourner: Magnified and sanctified may His great name be, in the world that will in future be renewed, reviving the dead and raising them up to eternal life. He will rebuild the city of Jerusalem and in it reestablish His Temple. He will remove alien worship from the earth and restore to its place the worship of Heaven. Then the Holy One, blessed be He, will reign in His sovereignty and splendor. May He establish His kingdom, make His salvation flourish, and hasten His messiah, in your lifetime and in your days, and in the lifetime of all the house of Israel, swiftly and soon – and say: Amen.
