אֵשֶׁת־חַֽיִל A woman of strength, who can find? Her worth is far beyond pearls. Her husband’s heart trusts in her, and he has no lack of gain. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and linen, and works with willing hands. She is like a ship laden with merchandise, bringing her food from afar. She rises while it is still night, providing food for her household, portions for her maids. She considers a field and buys it; from her earnings she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength, and braces her arms for her tasks. She sees that her business goes well; her lamp does not go out at night. She holds the distaff in her hand, and grasps the spindle with her palms. She reaches out her palm to the poor, and extends her hand to the needy. She has no fear for her family when it snows, for all her household is clothed in crimson wool. She makes elegant coverings; her clothing is fine linen and purple wool. Her husband is well known in the gates, where he sits with the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies merchants with sashes. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the law of kindness is on her tongue. She watches over the ways of her household, and never eats the bread of idleness. Her children rise and call her happy; her husband also praises her: “Many women have excelled, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive and beauty vain: it is the God-fearing woman who deserves praise. Give her the reward she has earned; let her deeds bring her praise in the gates.

KIDDUSH FOR ROSH HASHANA EVENING

And it was evening, and it was morning –

יוֹם הַשִּׁשִּׁי the sixth day.

Then the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their array. With the seventh day, God completed the work He had done. He ceased on the seventh day from all the work He had done. God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because on it He ceased from all His work He had created to do.

Please pay attention, my masters.

Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

בָּרוּךְ Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who has chosen us from among all peoples, raised us above all tongues, and made us holy through His commandments. You have given us, LORD our God, in love, this (Sabbath and this) Day of Remembrance, a day of (recalling) blowing the shofar, (with love,) a holy assembly in memory of the exodus from Egypt, for You have chosen us and sanctified us above all peoples, and Your word is true and endures for ever. Blessed are You, LORD, King over all the earth, who sanctifies (the Sabbath,) Israel and the Day of Remembrance.

בָּרוּךְ Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who creates the lights of fire.

Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who distinguishes between sacred and secular, between light and darkness, between Israel and the nations, between the seventh day and the six days of work. You have made a distinction between the holiness of the Sabbath and the holiness of festivals, and have sanctified the seventh day above the six days of work. You have distinguished and sanctified Your people Israel with Your holiness. Blessed are You, LORD, who distinguishes between sacred and sacred.

בָּרוּךְ Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who has given us life, sustained us, and brought us to this time.

בָּרוּךְ Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who creates the fruit of the tree.

יְהִי רָצוֹן May it be Your will, LORD our God and God of our ancestors, that You renew for us a good and sweet year. Simanim
