Praised are You, Adonai, our God, Ruler of the universe, who in goodness, with grace, kindness and mercy, feeds the entire world. He provides bread for all creatures, for His kindness is never-ending. And because of His magnificent greatness we have never wanted for food, nor will we ever want for food, to the end of time. For His great name, because He is God who feeds and provides for all, and who does good to all by preparing food for all of His creatures whom He created: Praised are You, Adonai, who feeds all. /rah tkrb For the Land u x` e piz e a `l z l gpd y l {,e pid l ` ii,j l d ce p,e pid l ` ii,e pz ` v e d y l {e,d a g xe d a e h d c n g d ce p j z ixa l {e,m ica { z ia n e pz ict e,m ixv n u x`n,e pz { ce d y j iw g l {e,e pz cn l y j z xe z l {e,e px y a a z n z g y of d z ` y oe fn z lik ` l {e,e pz ppe g y c q ge og,m iig l {e.d {y l k a e z { l k a e,m e i l k a,c in z e pz e ` q pxtn e nodeh l'cha, adonai eloheinu, al shehin'ḥal'ta la'avoteinu eretz ḥem'dah tovah ur'ḥavah, v'al shehotzeitanu, adonai eloheinu, mei'eretz mitz'rayim, uf'ditanu mibeit avadim, v'al b'rit'cha sheḥatam'ta biv'sareinu, v'al torat'cha shelimad'tanu, v'al ḥukecha shehodatanu, v'al ḥayim, ḥein vaḥesed sheḥonan'tanu, v'al achilat mazon sha'atah zan um'far'neis otanu tamid, b'chol yom, uv'chol eit uv'chol sha'ah.

For the miracles and for the redemption and for the mighty acts and for the triumphs and for the wars You brought about for our ancestors in those days at this time of year: in the days of the Hasmonean Mattathias ben Yohanan, the high priest, and his sons, when the evil government of Greece rose up against Your people Israel to make them forget Your Torah and to make them leave the laws of Your will in Your great mercy You rose up with them in their time of trouble, and fought in their fight, judged their cause just, and avenged them with a vengeance. You delivered the mighty into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few, the unclean into the hands of the pure, the evil into the hands of the righteous, and the arrogant into the hands of those who engage in Your Torah. For You, You made a great and holy name in Your world; and for Your people Israel, You brought about a great triumph and redemption on that very day. And then Your children came to the Holy of Holies, and emptied Your temple, and purified Your holy place, and lit candles in Your holy courts, and established these eight days of Hanukkah gratefully to acknowledge and to praise Your great name. -3-

Give thanks to Adonai, who is good, whose mercy endures forever. Open Your hand and satisfy every living being. Blessed is the one who trusts in Adonai, that Adonai becomes his trust. I was young and now I ve aged, but I ve never seen the righteous forsaken, or their descendents lacking bread.

Give thanks to Adonai, who is good, whose mercy endures forever. Who can count Adonai s mighty acts, or recite all His praise!
