You, Lord, our God, have made Your righteous laws known to us and through the Torah You have taught us to do the commandments that You want us to do. You, Lord, our God, gave us laws that are upright, teachings that are true, and decrees and commandments that are good. You have given us times of rejoicing—holy festivals and holidays, when we would bring voluntary offerings in the Holy Temple—as an everlasting inheritance. You have given us the holiness of Shabbat, the beauty of the holiday and the celebration of the festival as an everlasting inheritance. You, Lord, our God, have separated between what is holy and what is ordinary, between light and darkness, between the Children of Israel and other nations, and between the seventh day and the six work days. You have also separated between the holiness of Shabbat and the holiness of the festival, and You have made the seventh day, Shabbat, holier than the six work days. You separated the Children of Israel, Your nation, from other nations, and You made them holy with Your holiness.
On Shabbat, add the shaded words.
