Shabbat Shalom
Heavenly Father, Protector and Redeemer of Israel, we invoke Thy blessing upon the State of Israel which by Thy providence has been reborn in the land of our fathers. Shield her with Thy mercy and spread over her Thy protecting peace. Bestow the light of Thy truth upon her leaders and direct them by Thy good counsel. Sustain the hands of those who build and defend the Holy Land. Grant peace within her borders and security to all her inhabitants.
O L-rd, remember our brethren of the whole house of Israel. Unite our hearts to love and revere Thee and to keep all the precepts of Thy Torah, that we may be a blessing to all mankind. Fulfill unto us the vision of Thy prophet: Out of Zion shall go forth the Law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Amen
