“BLESSINGS FOR SHABBAT IN HEBREW”

These are some of the Hebrew blessings that are traditionally sung to welcome the Sabbath. I sing these songs as well as English versions of the blessings.


Barukh atah Adonai,
Eloheinu melekh ha-o-lam.
Mekadesh ha-shabbat.



While lighting the candles:
Barukh atah Adonai,
Eloheinu melekh ha-o-lam.
Asher kideshanu bemitz vo tav,
V’tsivanu, l’hadlikh ner,
Shel Shabbat.



Before drinking the wine:

Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheinu melekh ha-o-lam,
Borei peri hagafen.



Before eating the bread:

Barukh atah Adonai,
Eloheinu melekh ha-o-lam,
Ha motzi lekhem min ha-a-a-retz.
Ah-ah-mein.
