The Hebrew text is taken from Zeved Habat by Aaron Cohen (Jerusalem, 1990).
Mi Shebeirakh imoteinu Sarah Rivkah Rachel v’Leah
hu y’varekh et hana’rah __________ bat __________
Shehigiah l’firkah.
Avinu shebashamaim av harachaman yagen ba’adah v’ishmor

v’sekhel tov b’einei elohim v’adam vi’ykuyam bah (bahen)
mikra shekatuv ishah yir’et Adonai hi tit’halal
t’nu la mipri yadeyha viyehal’luha basharim ma’aseyha
Amen ken yehi ratzon.
May the One who blessed our foremothers Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel and Leah bless the young girl daughter of ________ who has reached the age of twelve.
May our Father in Heaven, Merciful Father protect her and guard her spirit. He should remove from her all illness and save her from any dis-tress and harm. Let her father and mother rejoice with her, and let her find favor and good understanding in the eyes of God and the eyes of man. Let the words of Scripture be fulfilled through her, “A woman who fears God shall be praised. Give her the fruit of her hands, and let her deeds praise her in the gates.”
Amen, May this be Your Will.
