Seventh B’rakhah: Supplication for Peace

While the Amidah is said in silence, we proceed with “Grant Peace,” below. Upon repetition of the Amidah, the Priestly Blessing is recited by the leader.
Hebrew
אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ [וְאִמּוֹתֵינוּ],
בָּרְכֵנוּ בַבְּרָכָה הַמְשֻׁלֶּשֶׁת
בַּתּוֹרָה הַכְּתוּבָה עַל יְדֵי מֹשֶׁה עַבְדֶּךָ,
הָאֲמוּרָה מִפִּי אַהֲרֹן וּבָנָיו כֹּהֲנִים, עַם קְדוֹשֶׁךָ, כָּאָמוּר:
Israeli
Eloheinu veilohei avoteinu [ve-imoteinu],
barechenu vabrachah hameshuleshet
batorah haktuvah al yedei Mosheh avdecha,

English
Our God and God of our ancestors, bestow upon us the threefold blessing from the Torah that Moses Your servant wrote, spoken by Aaron and his descendants, the kohanim, Your people’s consecrated priests:
Hebrew
יְבָרֶכְךָ יהוה וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ.
כֵּן יְהִי רָצוֹן.
Israeli

Hebrew
שִׂים שָׁלוֹם בָּעוֹלָם טוֹבָה וּבְרָכָה,
חֵן וָחֶסֶד וְרַחֲמִים עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַמֶּךָ.
בָּרְכֵנוּ אָבִינוּ כֻּלָּנוּ כְּאֶחָד בְּאוֹר פָּנֶיךָ,
כִּי בְאוֹר פָּנֶיךָ נָתַתָּ לָנוּ, יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ,
תּוֹרַת חַיִּים וְאַהֲבַת חֶסֶד,
וּצְדָקָה וּבְרָכָה וְרַחֲמִים וְחַיִּים וְשָׁלוֹם.
וְטוֹב בְּעֵינֶיךָ לְבָרֵךְ אֶת־עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל
בְּכָל־עֵת וּבְכָל־שָׁעָה בִּשְׁלוֹמֶךָ.
Israeli
sim shalom ba-olam tovah uvrachah,
chen vachesed verachamim aleinu ve-al kol-yisra-el amecha.
barechenu avinu kulanu ke-echad be-or panecha,
ki ve-or panecha natata lanu, Adonai Eloheinu,
Torat chayim ve-ahavat chesed,
utzdakah uvrachah verachamim vechayim veshalom.
vetov be-einecha levarech et-amecha Yisra-el
b'chol-et uvchol-sha-ah bishlomecha.
English
Bestow peace upon the world, goodness and blessing, grace, love, and compassion, upon us and upon all the people Israel. Bless us, our creator, united as one with the radiance of Your presence; through that radiance, Adonai our God, You have given us a path for living, devotion to kindness, generosity, blessing, compassion, life, and peace. May You find it pleasing to bless Israel, Your people, in every season and at every hour with Your gift of peace.
On Shabbat Shuvah the paragraph below is recited, substituting for the line that comes after it:
Hebrew
בְּסֵפֶר חַיִּים, בְּרָכָה, וְשָׁלוֹם, וּפַרְנָסָה טוֹבָה,
נִזָּכֵר וְנִכָּתֵב לְפָנֶיךָ, אֲנַחְנוּ וְכָל־עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל,
לְחַיִּים טוֹבִים וּלְשָׁלוֹם.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה, עוֹשֶׂה הַשָּׁלוֹם.
Israeli
b'sefer chayim, b'rachah, veshalom, ufarnasah tovah,
nizacher venikatev lefanecha, anachnu vechol-amecha beit Yisra-el,
lechayim tovim uleshalom.
baruch atah Adonai, oseh hashalom.
English
May we, together with the whole house of Israel, be remembered and written down in the Book of Life for life, blessing, sustenance, and peace. Barukh atah Adonai, who causes peace.
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה, הַמְבָרֵךְ אֶת־עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּשָּׁלוֹם.
Israeli
baruch atah Adonai, hamevarech et-amo Yisra-el bashalom.
English
Barukh atah Adonai, who grants Your people Israel the blessing of peace.
When the leader recites the Amidah aloud, we proceed to Kaddish Shalem on page 203.
