יִתְגַּדֵּל וְיִתְקַדֵּשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא. (אָמֵן)
בְּעָלְמָא דִּי בְרָא כִרְעוּתֵהּ, וְיַמְלִיךְ מַלְכוּתֵהּ,
וְיַצְמַח פּוּרְקָנֵהּ וִיקָרֵב מְשִׁיחֵהּ. (אָמֵן)
בְּחַיֵּיכוֹן וּבְיוֹמֵיכוֹן וּבְחַיֵּי דְכָל בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל,

רַבָּא מְבָרַךְ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי עָלְמַיָּא יִתְבָּרֵךְ)
יְהֵא שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא מְבָרַךְ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי
עָלְמַיָּא. יִתְבָּרֵךְ, וְיִשְׁתַּבַּח, וְיִתְפָּאַר, וְיִתְרוֹמַם,
וְיִתְנַשֵּׂא, וְיִתְהַדָּר, וְיִתְעַלֶּה, וְיִתְהַלָּל, שְׁמֵהּ

לְעֵלָּא מִן כָּל בִּרְכָתָא וְשִׁירָתָא, תֻּשְׁבְּחָתָא
וְנֶחָמָתָא, דַּאֲמִירָן בְּעָלְמָא, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן: (אָמֵן)
תִּתְקַבֵּל צְלוֹתְהוֹן וּבָעוּתְהוֹן דְּכָל בֵּית

May God’s great name be exalted and holy (Amen)—throughout the universe, which He created as He wanted. May He establish His kingdom over the entire universe, bring His redemption, and speed up the coming of His Mashiach, (Amen)—in your lifetime and in your days, and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon. And everyone say Amen. (Amen. May God’s great name be blessed forever and ever—it will be blessed.) May God’s great name be blessed forever and ever. The name of the Holy One, Who is blessed, will be blessed, celebrated, glorified, exalted, raised, honored, uplifted, and praised (Amen)—more than all the blessings, songs, praises, and comforting words that are said in the world. And everyone say Amen. (Amen) May the prayers and requests of the entire House of Israel be accepted before God, their Father in heaven, and everyone say Amen.

We have full trust in God

Hebrew
לְדָוִד, יְיָ אוֹרִי וְיִשְׁעִי מִמִּי אִירָא,
יְיָ מָעוֹז חַיַּי מִמִּי אֶפְחָד:
בִּקְרֹב עָלַי מְרֵעִים לֶאֱכֹל אֶת
בְּשָׂרִי, צָרַי וְאֹיְבַי לִי, הֵמָּה כָשְׁלוּ
וְנָפָלוּ: אִם תַּחֲנֶה עָלַי מַחֲנֶה לֹא
יִירָא לִבִּי, אִם תָּקוּם עָלַי מִלְחָמָה,
בְּזֹאת אֲנִי בוֹטֵחַ:

The following was composed by King David: My troubles are like darkness, and the Lord is my light and my salvation. So of whom should I be afraid? The Lord is the strength of my life, so whom should I fear? When wicked people approached me to attack me, they wanted to eat my flesh, but God protected me from my oppressors and my enemies; they stumbled and fell. Even if an entire army would attack me, my heart would not be afraid of it. If a war would start against me, I would trust in this; I would trust in the fact that God is my light and my salvation.

May God bring us to a time of peace and protection

Hebrew
אַחַת שָׁאַלְתִּי מֵאֵת יְיָ, אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ, שִׁבְתִּי
בְּבֵית יְיָ כָּל יְמֵי חַיַּי, לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹעַם

Adonai ul'vaker b'heichalo:
English
I have asked the Lord for only one thing, it is something that I seek: to be free from any worries so I can sit in the house of the Lord and serve Him all the days of my life; to see the pleasantness of the Lord and to learn Torah in His sanctuary.
Hebrew
כִּי יִצְפְּנֵנִי בְּסֻכּוֹ בְּיוֹם רָעָה, יַסְתִּירֵנִי בְּסֵתֶר
אָהֳלוֹ<sup>1</sup>, בְּצוּר יְרוֹמְמֵנִי: וְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי עַל

God will hide me in His shelter on a day of danger, when enemies want to attack me He will hide me in the hidden places in His tent.<sup>1</sup> He will lift me onto a rock so my enemies cannot reach me. And then my head will be proudly raised above my enemies around me, for I will have defeated them, and I will bring offerings in the Tabernacle, God’s holy tent, with joyous song. I will sing and play music to the Lord for saving me. Lord, hear my voice when I call; be gracious to me and answer me. God, my heart speaks for You and says, “Seek My presence and look for Me.” And yes, Lord, I do seek Your presence. Do not hide Your presence from me. Do not throw Your servant away in anger. You have been my rescuer from my enemies; now help my soul find You. God of my salvation, do not abandon me or forsake me. Although my father and mother have forsaken me when they sent me out on my own, the Lord will take me in and never abandon me. Lord, teach me Your way and lead me in the straight and righteous path of Torah, because my enemies who watch me will celebrate if I sin. God, do not give me over to my enemies; do not let me be controlled by the will of my oppressors, because false witnesses have come up to testify against me, and they speak evil. My enemies would have crushed me if I would not have believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the World to Come, which is called “the land of life.” Have hope in the Lord; be strong, let your heart be brave, and have hope in the Lord.
On Chanukah, the menorah is lit in the synagogue at this point, page 644.

We thank God for not making us like other nations, who serve worthless beings

It is our duty to praise God, the Master of all things, to give greatness to the Creator of all existence. Praise Him because He has not made us like the other nations of the world. He has given each of us a soul that is part of Himself, and He has not placed us to be like the other families of the earth, who do not have the Torah and its commandments. We should praise Him because He has not given us a portion like theirs; He has given us His Torah. He has not given us a share like all of their people; for they bow down to false gods—to emptiness and nothingness. But we bend our knees and bow down and
