V’havienu

Calm ocean under a cloudy sky at sunset, with soft light illuminating the clouds and horizon.
 
Borei Haolam
Who from the soil assembled Adam’s limbs,
 
Bring together the fragments of my self
to peace.
 
As four faces sit on the angel’s head,
As four mothers birth one nation,
As four sons sit at one seder,
So I gather my four tzitzit,
Uniting the pieces of me,
That I may walk with my people,
Singular and upright,
In Your Torah.
 
.ברוך אתה ה’, המברך את עמו ישראל באהבה
Blessed are You, Eternal One, who blesses the people Israel with love.
