Function of certain ingredients

Hebrew
נָתַן בָּהּ דְּבַשׁ פְּסָלָהּ, וְאִם חִסַּר
אַחַת מִכָּל סַמָּנֶיהָ חַיָּב מִיתָה:
רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר:

Natan bah devash pesalah, ve'im hissar

Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel omer:
Ha-tzori eino ela sheref ha-notef
me-atze ha-ketaf, borit Karshinah
she-shafin bah et ha-tzipporen, kedei
shetehe na’ah. Yein Kafrisin

ha-kavod:
English
a small amount of an herb that would cause the smoke of the incense to rise. Rabbi Nattan the Babylonian says: A small amount of amber that grew next to the Jordan River was also added. If the Kohen put honey into the incense, the incense became invalid. If he left out even one of its eleven ingredients, he would deserve the death penalty. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: The balm mentioned above is simply the juice that drips from balsam trees. The lye from Karshinah was used for scrubbing the onycha, to make it look pleasant. Wine of Cyprus was used to soak the onycha, so that it would have a strong smell. Although the water from Raglayim would be better than Cyprus wine for making the onycha smell strong, water from Raglayim is not brought into the Holy Temple because it is not respectful.

Reward for learning Jewish law

Hebrew
תַּנָּא דְבֵי אֵלִיָּהוּ, כָּל הַשּׁוֹנֶה הֲלָכוֹת בְּכָל
יוֹם מֻבְטָח לוֹ שֶׁהוּא בֶּן עוֹלָם הַבָּא,
שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר, הֲלִיכוֹת עוֹלָם לוֹ, אַל תִּקְרֵי
הֲלִיכוֹת אֶלָּא הֲלָכוֹת:

Tanna de-ve Eliyahu, kol ha-shoneh halakhot bechol
yom muvtah lo shehu ben olam haba,
shene'emar, halikhot olam lo, al tikre
halikhot ela halakhot:
English
It was taught in the academy of Elijah: Whoever learns laws every day is guaranteed a share in the World to Come, as it says in Habakuk: Halichot (the ways) of the world are decided by God; they are His. Do not read the word only as “halichot” (the ways). Rather, read it also as “Halachot” (laws). When we read the verse this way, it can mean that if a person learns and knows laws, then the World to Come is his.

May we always have peace

Hebrew
אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אָמַר רַבִּי חֲנִינָא:
תַּלְמִידֵי חֲכָמִים מַרְבִּים שָׁלוֹם
בָּעוֹלָם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: וְכָל בָּנַיִךְ לִמּוּדֵי יְיָ<sup>1</sup>, וְרַב

שָׁלוֹם רָב לְאוֹהֲבֵי תוֹרָתֶךָ, וְאֵין לָמוֹ מִכְשׁוֹל:
יְהִי שָׁלוֹם בְּחֵילֵךְ, שַׁלְוָה בְּאַרְמְנוֹתָיִךְ:
לְמַעַן אַחַי וְרֵעָי, אֲדַבְּרָה נָּא שָׁלוֹם בָּךְ:
לְמַעַן בֵּית יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ, אֲבַקְשָׁה טוֹב לָךְ:

Amar Rabbi Elazar amar Rabbi Chanina:
Talmide chachamim marbim shalom
ba-olam, shene'emar: vechol banayikh limmude Adonai<sup>1</sup>, v'rav
shalom banayikh: al tikre vanayikh, ela bonayikh:
Shalom rav le-ohave Toratekha, ve-en lamo mikhshol:
Yehi shalom be-helekh, shalvah be-armenotekha:
Lema'an ahay ve-re’ay, adabberah na shalom bach:
Lema'an beit Adonai Eloheinu, avakkeshah tov lach:
Adonai oz le'amo yiten, Adonai yevarech et amo vashalom:
English
Rabbi Elazar said in the name of Rabbi Chanina: Torah scholars increase peace in the world. As it says in Isaiah: All of your children will be learners of the Lord’s Torah,<sup>1</sup> and the peace of banayich (your children) will be great. Do not read and explain the second occurrence of the word “banayich” to mean only your children, since that word is already mentioned in the beginning of the verse. Rather, read it to also mean “bonayich” (your builders). When we read the verse this way, it can mean that the builders among the Jewish Nation—the Torah scholars—have much peace and bring much peace into the world. God, those who love Your Torah have much peace, and there is no stumbling block before them. Jerusalem, May there be peace within your walls and calmness within your mansions. For the benefit of my brothers and friends, all the Jewish Nation, I ask that there should be peace within you. For the sake of the house of the Lord, our God, I ask that there should be goodness in you. The Lord will give strength to the Jewish Nation, His people. The Lord will bless His people with peace.
Mourners say the following Kaddish.

And everyone say Amen. (Amen) May there be much peace from God in heaven, and good life for us and all of the Children of Israel. And everyone say Amen. (Amen)
