Visible layers

Hebrew

וְתֶאֱסוֹף גָּלֻיּוֹתֵינוּ לְחַצְרוֹת קָדְשֶׁךָ,
וְנָשׁוּב אֵלֶיךָ לִשְׁמֹר חֻקֶּיךָ וְלַעֲשׂוֹת
רְצוֹנְךָ וּלְעָבְדְּךָ בְּלֵבָב שָׁלֵם, עַל
שֶׁאֲנַחְנוּ מוֹדִים לָךְ, בָּרוּךְ אֵל הַהוֹדָאוֹת.

v'te'esof galuyoteinu l'chatzrot kodshecha,
v'nashuv eilecha lishmor chukecha v'la'asot
retzonekha ul'avdekha b'levav shalem, al

English

continue to give us life and keep us alive. Gather us from our exile and bring us to the courtyards of Your Holy Temple, so that we will return to serving You—to keep Your laws, to do Your will, and to serve You with a complete heart. We also thank You for letting us give thanks to You for all the good things You do for us. Blessed is God, Who is worthy of thanks.

On Chanukah say the following. If omitted, it is not necessary to return or repeat the Amidah. If one realized that he omitted it before saying יְיָ in the blessing of הַטּוֹב שִׁמְךָ on the next page, he should say it then.

Thank You for the miracles You did for our ancestors

Hebrew

וְעַל הַנִּסִּים וְעַל הַפֻּרְקָן וְעַל
הַגְּבוּרוֹת וְעַל הַתְּשׁוּעוֹת וְעַל
הַנִּפְלָאוֹת שֶׁעָשִׂיתָ לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ בַּיָּמִים
הָהֵם בַּזְּמַן הַזֶּה:

We also thank You, God, for the miracles, for the redemption, for the mighty deeds, for the acts of salvation, and for the wonders that You did for our ancestors in those days, at this time of the year.

The miracles of Chanukah

Hebrew

בִּימֵי מַתִּתְיָהוּ בֶּן יוֹחָנָן כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל,
חַשְׁמוֹנַאי וּבָנָיו, כְּשֶׁעָמְדָה
מַלְכוּת יָוָן הָרְשָׁעָה עַל עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל,
לְהַשְׁכִּיחָם תּוֹרָתֶךָ וּלְהַעֲבִירָם מֵחֻקֵּי
רְצוֹנֶךָ, וְאַתָּה בְּרַחֲמֶיךָ הָרַבִּים,
עָמַדְתָּ לָהֶם בְּעֵת צָרָתָם. רַבְתָּ אֶת
רִיבָם, דַּנְתָּ אֶת דִּינָם, נָקַמְתָּ אֶת
נִקְמָתָם, מָסַרְתָּ גִּבּוֹרִים בְּיַד חַלָּשִׁים,
וְרַבִּים בְּיַד מְעַטִּים, וּטְמֵאִים בְּיַד
טְהוֹרִים, וּרְשָׁעִים בְּיַד צַדִּיקִים,
וְזֵדִים בְּיַד עוֹסְקֵי תוֹרָתֶךָ. וּלְךָ עָשִׂיתָ
שֵׁם גָּדוֹל וְקָדוֹשׁ בְּעוֹלָמֶךָ, וּלְעַמְּךָ
יִשְׂרָאֵל עָשִׂיתָ תְּשׁוּעָה גְדוֹלָה וּפֻרְקָן
כְּהַיּוֹם הַזֶּה. וְאַחַר כָּךְ בָּאוּ בָנֶיךָ
לִדְבִיר בֵּיתֶךָ, וּפִנּוּ אֶת הֵיכָלֶךָ, וְטִהֲרוּ
אֶת מִקְדָּשֶׁךָ, וְהִדְלִיקוּ נֵרוֹת בְּחַצְרוֹת
קָדְשֶׁךָ. וְקָבְעוּ שְׁמוֹנַת יְמֵי חֲנֻכָּה
אֵלּוּ, לְהוֹדוֹת וּלְהַלֵּל לְשִׁמְךָ הַגָּדוֹל:

In the days of Matityahu, the son of Yochanan the High Priest, who was from the Hasmonean family, and his sons—when the wicked Syrian-Greek empire, led by king Antiochus, rose up and took control over Your nation, the Children of Israel, enacting decrees to make the Jewish Nation forget Your Torah and turn them away from the decrees that You want them to keep—You, God, in Your great mercy, stood by the Jewish Nation and helped them in their time of difficulty. You fought their wars, defended their rights, and avenged the wrong done to them. You put the mighty Syrian-Greek army into the hand of the weak Jewish army, and the great Syrian-Greek army was defeated; You put their many soldiers into the hand of our few; You put the impure who fought against You, into the hand of the pure Jewish army; You put the wicked into the hand of the righteous; You put the sinners into the hand of those who occupy themselves with Your Torah. Through these great acts, You made a great and holy name for Yourself in Your world. And for Your nation, the Children of Israel, You brought about a great salvation and redemption; it is spoken about and praised to this very day. After they won the war, Your children, the Jewish Nation, entered the Holy Temple, cleaned out the idols that the Syrian-Greeks had put in Your Sanctuary, and purified Your Holy Temple. They lit candles of celebration in and around the courtyards of Your Holy Temple, and they instituted these eight days of Chanukah to give thanks and praise to Your great name.

Hebrew

וְעַל כֻּלָּם יִתְבָּרַךְ וְיִתְרוֹמַם

And because of all the things You do for us, God, our King, may Your name always be blessed, exalted, and raised forever and ever.

וְכֹל הַחַיִּים יוֹדוּךָ סֶּלָה, וִיהַלְלוּ

And all living things will thank You forever, and they will praise Your great name forever, because You are good. You are the God Who is our everlasting salvation and help; You are the good God. Blessed are You, Lord—You have a good name and reputation, and it is appropriate to give You thanks.

During the repetition of the Amidah, the chazzan says the following. The congregation responds Amen as shown.

Our God and the God of our fathers, bless us with the three-part blessing found in the Torah, which was written by Your servant, Moses, and said by Aaron and his sons, the Kohanim, who are called Your holy nation. As it says in the Torah: May the Lord bless you with livelihood and guard your possessions from thieves. (Amen) May the Lord shine His joyful face upon you and be gracious to you. (Amen) May the Lord, holding back His anger, turn His merciful face toward you, and give you peace. (Amen)
