Welcoming The Shabbat


Visible layers
Hebrew
צַדִּיק כַּתָּמָר יִפְרָח,
כְּאֶרֶז בַּלְּבָנוֹן יִשְׂגֶּה:<sup>1</sup>
שְׁתוּלִים בְּבֵית יְיָ, בְּחַצְרוֹת
אֱלֹהֵינוּ יַפְרִיחוּ: עוֹד יְנוּבוּן
בְּשֵׂיבָה, דְּשֵׁנִים וְרַעֲנַנִּים
יִהְיוּ: לְהַגִּיד כִּי יָשָׁר יְיָ, צוּרִי
וְלֹא עַוְלָתָה בּוֹ:
Sephardi
Tzadik katamar yifrach,
k’erez baLevanon yisgeh:<sup>1</sup>
Shetulim beveit Adonai, bechatzrot
Eloheinu yafrichu: od yenuvun
b’seivah, deshenim v’ra’ananim
yihyu: l’hagid ki yashar Adonai, tzuri
v'lo avlatah bo:
English
The righteous will blossom and bear children as a palm tree bears fruits. They will grow tall like a cedar tree in Lebanon.<sup>1</sup> They will be planted in the Holy Temple, the house of the Lord, and they will study Torah there. They will blossom in the Lord’s courtyards in the Holy Temple. They will still be fruitful when they are old; they will remain energetic and fresh. These things will tell people that the Lord is fair. He is my strength and there is no injustice in Him.

Everyone will acknowledge God as king when the Redemption arrives

Hebrew
יְיָ מָלָךְ גֵּאוּת לָבֵשׁ, לָבֵשׁ יְיָ
עֹז הִתְאַזָּר, אַף תִּכּוֹן
תֵּבֵל בַּל תִּמּוֹט: נָכוֹן כִּסְאֲךָ
מֵאָז, מֵעוֹלָם אָתָּה: נָשְׂאוּ
נְהָרוֹת יְיָ, נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת
קוֹלָם, יִשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת דָּכְיָם:
מִקֹּלוֹת מַיִם רַבִּים אַדִּירִים
מִשְׁבְּרֵי יָם, אַדִּיר בַּמָּרוֹם יְיָ:
עֵדֹתֶיךָ נֶאֶמְנוּ מְאֹד, לְבֵיתְךָ
נַאֲוָה קֹדֶשׁ, יְיָ לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים:
Sephardi
Adonai malach ge’ut lavesh, lavesh Adonai
oz hit’azzar, af tikon
tevel bal timmot: nachon kis'acha
me’az, me'olam atah: nas'u
neharot Adonai, nas'u neharot
kolam, yis’u neharot dachyam:
mikolot mayim rabim adirim
mishb’rei yam, adir bamarom Adonai:
edotekha ne’emnu me'od, l’veitcha
na’avah kodesh, Adonai l’orech yamim:
English
When the Redemption arrives, everyone will recognize and proclaim: The Lord has been the king all along, and He has worn His majestic robes. The Lord has dressed Himself—He has dressed Himself with strength; He has also made the world a secure place that will never falter, because there will be no more wars or destruction. Some people will only recognize this after the final Redemption. The truth, however, is that Your throne has been standing strong since the beginning of time, and You have existed forever, even before You created the universe. Lord, during exile, the rivers—Your enemies, who rage like mighty rivers—have risen against us—the rivers have raised their voice. The rivers raise their powerful waves and threaten to destroy us. But more powerful than the roars of many waters and more powerful than the mighty waves of the sea is the Lord, Who is powerful in heaven, high above. Your testimonies regarding the final Redemption are very trustworthy. Your house, Lord, the Third Temple, will be beautiful with holiness and it will last forever.
Mourners say the following Kaddish.
Hebrew

And everyone say Amen. (Amen. May God’s great name be blessed forever and ever—it will be blessed.)
Hebrew
יְהֵא שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא מְבָרַךְ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי עָלְמַיָּא.
