The New Jew: A Field Guide

On Shabbat, the congregation stands and, together with the Leader, says:

Ex. 31

Hebrew

וְשָׁמְרוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַשַּׁבָּת
לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת־הַשַּׁבָּת לְדֹרֹתָם בְּרִית עוֹלָם:
בֵּינִי וּבֵין בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, אוֹת הִוא לְעֹלָם
כִּי־שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים עָשָׂה יְהֹוָה אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ
וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי שָׁבַת וַיִּנָּפַשׁ:

Sephardi

Veshameru venei Yisrael et haShabbat
la'asot et haShabbat ledorotam berit olam:
beini uvein benei Yisrael, ot hi le'olam
ki sheshet yamim asa Adonai et hashamayim ve'et ha'aretz
uvayom hashevi'i shavat vayinafash:

English

The children of Israel must keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath in every generation as an everlasting covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel for ever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He ceased work and refreshed Himself.

On Yom Tov of the Three Festivals, say:

Lev. 23

Hebrew

וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה אֶת־מֹעֲדֵי יְהֹוָה אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל:

Sephardi

Vayedaber Moshe et mo'adei Adonai el benei Yisrael:

English

Thus Moses announced the LORD’s appointed seasons to the children of Israel.

Leader: Magnified and sanctified may His great name be, in the world He created by His will. 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. All: May His great name be blessed for ever and all time. Leader: Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, raised and honored, uplifted and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond any blessing, song, praise and consolation uttered in the world – and say: Amen.
