You are mighty forever, my Master; You are the Resurrector of the dead the Powerful One to deliver us.

From the Musaf ofShemini Atzeresuntil theMusafof the first day of Pesach you should say: Causer of the wind to blow and of the rain to fall.¹⁰ 2a): “There are three ׳keys’ which God retains in His own hands and does not entrust to any emissary: the key to rain, the key to childbirth, and the key to the resurrection of the dead.” From the Musaf of the first day of Pesach until the Musaf of Shemini Atzeres one should say: He causes the dew to descend.

footnotes: ¹⁰ God’s might is as much manifested in causing the rain as it is in reviving the dead. In fact the Talmud (Maseches Taanis 7a) declares in the name of Rabbi Avohu: “The day when rain falls is greater than the day of the resurrection of the dead.” Rabbi Yochanan said, (Ibid,

Sustainer of the living with kindliness, Resurrector of the dead with great mercy, Supporter of the fallen, and Healer of the sick, and Releaser of the imprisoned, and Fulfiller of His faithfulness to those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, Master of mighty deeds, and who can be compared to You? King Who causes death and restores life, and causes deliverance to sprout forth.

(During the Ten Days of Penitence add: Who is like You merciful Father, Who remembers His creatures for life, in His mercy.)

And You are faithful to restore the dead to life. Blessed are You, Adonoy, Resurrector of the dead.
