THANKSGIVING

Bow at the first nine words.

Hebrew

מוֹדִים אֲנַחְנוּ לָךְ
שָׁאַתָּה הוּא יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ
וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד.
צוּר חַיֵּינוּ, מָגֵן יִשְׁעֵנוּ
אַתָּה הוּא לְדוֹר וָדוֹר.
נוֹדֶה לְךָ וּנְסַפֵּר תְּהִלָּתֶךָ
עַל חַיֵּינוּ הַמְּסוּרִים בְּיָדֶךָ
וְעַל נִשְׁמוֹתֵינוּ הַפְּקוּדוֹת לָךְ
וְעַל נִסֶּיךָ שֶׁבְּכָל יוֹם עִמָּנוּ
וְעַל נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ וְטוֹבוֹתֶיךָ
שֶׁבְּכָל עֵת
עֶרֶב וָבֹקֶר וְצָהֳרָיִם.
הַטּוֹב, כִּי לֹא כָלוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ
וְהַמְרַחֵם, כִּי לֹא תַמּוּ חֲסָדֶיךָ
כִּי מֵעוֹלָם קִוִּינוּ לָךְ.

Modim anachnu lach
She'attah hu Adonai Eloheinu
Veilohei avoteinu le'olam va'ed.
Tzur chayeinu, magen yisheinu
Atah hu ledor vador.
Nodeh lecha unesaper tehilatecha
Al chayeinu hamesurim beyadecha
Ve'al nishmoteinu hapekudot lach
Ve'al nisecha shebechol yom imanu
Ve'al nifle'otecha vetovotecha
Shebechol et
Erev vavoker vetzohorayim.
Hatov, ki lo chalu rachamecha
Vehamerachem, ki lo tamu chasadecha
Ki me'olam kivinu lach.

We give thanks to You, for You are the LORD our God and God of our ancestors for ever and all time. You are the Rock of our lives, Shield of our salvation from generation to generation. We will thank You and declare Your praise for our lives, which are entrusted into Your hand; for our souls, which are placed in Your charge; for Your miracles which are with us every day; and for Your wonders and favors at all times, evening, morning and midday. You are good – for Your compassion never fails. You are compassionate – for Your loving-kindnesses never cease; for we have always placed our hope in You.

During the Leader’s Repetition, the congregation says quietly:

Hebrew

מוֹדִים אֲנַחְנוּ לָךְ
שָׁאַתָּה הוּא יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ
וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ
אֱלֹהֵי כָל בָּשָׂר
יוֹצְרֵנוּ, יוֹצֵר בְּרֵאשִׁית.
בְּרָכוֹת וְהוֹדָאוֹת
לְשִׁמְךָ הַגָּדוֹל וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ
עַל שֶׁהֶחֱיִיתָנוּ וְקִיַּמְתָּנוּ.
כֵּן תְּחַיֵּנוּ וּתְקַיְּמֵנוּ
וְתֶאֱסֹף גָּלֻיּוֹתֵינוּ
לְחַצְרוֹת קָדְשֶׁךָ
לִשְׁמֹר חֻקֶּיךָ
וְלַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹנְךָ וּלְעָבְדְּךָ
בְּלֵבָב שָׁלֵם
עַל שֶׁאָנוּ מוֹדִים לָךְ.
בָּרוּךְ אֵל הַהוֹדָאוֹת.

Modim anachnu lach
She'attah hu Adonai Eloheinu
Veilohei avoteinu
Elohei chol basar
Yotzreinu, yotzer bereshit.
Berachot vehoda'ot
Leshimcha hagadol vehakadosh
Al shehecheyitanu vekiyamtanu.
Ken techayyenu utekayyemenu
Vete'esof galuyoteinu
Lechatzrot kodshecha

Vela'asot retzoncha ule'ovdecha
Belevav shalem
Al she'anu modim lach.
Baruch Eil hahoda'ot.

English

We give thanks to You, for You are the LORD our God and God of our ancestors, God of all flesh, who formed us and formed the universe. Blessings and thanks are due to Your great and holy name for giving us life and sustaining us. May You continue to give us life and sustain us; and may You gather our exiles to Your holy courts, to keep Your decrees, do Your will and serve You with a perfect heart, for it is for us to give You thanks. Blessed be God to whom thanksgiving is due.

Hebrew

וְעַל כֻּלָּם
יִתְבָּרַךְ וְיִתְרוֹמַם וְיִתְנַשֵּׂא שִׁמְךָ מַלְכֵּנוּ תָּמִיד לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד.
וְכָל הַחַיִּים יוֹדוּךָ סֶלָה
וִיהַלְלוּ וִיבָרְכוּ אֶת שִׁמְךָ הַגָּדוֹל בֶּאֱמֶת לְעוֹלָם כִּי טוֹב
הָאֵל יְשׁוּעָתֵנוּ וְעֶזְרָתֵנוּ סֶלָה, הָאֵל הַטּוֹב.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה, הַטּוֹב שִׁמְךָ וּלְךָ נָאֶה לְהוֹדוֹת.

Ve'al kulam

Ha'El yeshu'atenu ve'ezratenu selah, Ha'El hatov.
Baruch Atah Adonai, hatov shimcha ulecha na'eh lehodot.

English

For all these things may Your name be blessed and exalted and raised up, our King, continually, for ever and all time. Let all that lives thank You, Selah! and praise and bless Your great name in truth, always, because it is good, God, our Savior and Help, Selah! the beneficent God. Blessed are You, LORD, whose name is “the Good” and to whom thanks are due.
