May it be granted,  HaShem, our Gd,
And Gd of our forefathers,
Creator of us all,
And Creator of all the world,
You were One Gd, alone
When the world began
And will be One Gd throughout eternity.
Only You can rule this world,
And the world to come.
On this day,
From the purity of
Your Divine Presence,
You created for the world
Great and good and pure light,
So the world,
And everything in the world,
All those in Heaven,
And on earth,
Would benefit from that light.
Then You saw
With great clarity and insight,
That creation was not worthy
To benefit from this holy and dignified light,
So you divided it, and lifted
The greater light
Into the concealment of the next world,
For the benefit of those who worship You,
And fear and love Your Name
With all their heart.
Lord of the world,
May I, and all mine,
Live to be worthy to enter
The great pure Light
In the Garden of Eden
With other saintly men and women
And to receive great blessedness
From the radiance of the light
Of Your Divine Presence
And let us know the magnificence
Of the holiness of Your Name.
For in Your light shall we see light.
As the holy verse says:
When we enter eternal life with You
We shall see light in Your light.
May the speech of my mouth
Find favor before You,
Gd, my Creator and my Redeemer.
