Blessed are You, Adonai, our G-d, who with wisdom formed the human body, creating the body’s many pathways and openings,*
Blessed are You, Adonai, our G-d, who with wisdom formed the human body, creating the body’s many pathways and openings,*
diverse in shape and capability, able to bring pleasure and joy,
expanding and contracting, responding to thought and touch.
The Divine who endowed us with the inclination to explore our bodies, with our hands, with each other,
and the inventiveness of the human mind,
that has created tools and toys to continue exploring in new and bold ways.
ברוך אתה ה’ אלהינו רוח העולם אשר יצרה את בני ובנות אדם וחוה בחכמה
Blessed are You, Adonai our G-d, who has made me Your partner in completing the task of my own formation.**
