Sheva Berachot (Traditional Seven Blessings)


Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Who created everything for his glory.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Creator of man.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Who created man in His image in the image of His likeness, and provided for perpetuation of His kind. Blessed are You, Who formed man.

Let the barren city (Jerusalem) be jubilantly happy and joyful at her joyous reunion with her children. Blessed are You, Who fills Zion with the joy of her children.

May You gladden the loving couple as you gladdened Your creations in the Garden of Eden of old. Blessed are You, Who fills the groom and bride with joy.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Who created joy and celebration, groom and bride, rejoicing, jubilation, pleasure and delight, love and brotherhood, peace and friendship. May there soon be heard, Lord our God, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, the sound of joy and the sound of celebration, the voice of a groom and the voice of a bride, the happy shouting of grooms from bridal canopies, and of young men from their feasts of song. Blessed are You Who makes the groom and bride rejoice together.
