בָּרוּךְ Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who has made us holy through His commandments, and has commanded us to engage in study of the words of Torah. Please, LORD our God, make the words of Your Torah sweet in our mouths and in the mouths of Your people, the house of Israel, so that we, our descendants (and their descendants) and the descendants of Your people, the house of Israel, may all know Your name and study Your Torah for its own sake. Blessed are You, LORD, who teaches Torah to His people Israel.

בָּרוּךְ Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who has chosen us from all the peoples and given us His Torah. Blessed are You, LORD, Giver of the Torah.

יְבָרֶכְךָ May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD turn His face toward you and grant you peace.

אֵֽלּוּ These are the things for which there is no fixed measure: the corner of the field, first-fruits, appearances before the LORD [on festivals, with offerings], acts of kindness and the study of Torah.

אֵֽלּוּ These are the things whose fruits we eat in this world but whose full reward awaits us in the World to Come: honoring parents; acts of kindness; arriving early at the house of study morning and evening; hospitality to strangers; visiting the sick; helping the needy bride; attending to the dead; devotion in prayer; and bringing peace between people – but the study of Torah is equal to them all.

רֵאשִׁית חָכְמָה Wisdom begins in awe of the LORD; all who fulfill [His commandments] gain good understanding; His praise is ever-lasting. The Torah Moses commanded us is the heritage of the congregation of Jacob. Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. May the Torah be my faith and Almighty God my help. Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom for ever and all time.
