This Pesach/Spring we enter the 18th year since the return of Eliyahu and the Ingathering of Exiles began in 5750/1990. The following are translations of the last two of the blessings of the standing prayer, the Amidah, made of 19 blessings in total. These prayers along with the Shema are at the heart of Jewish prayer. The Hebrew ceremonial calendar is a 19 year calendar linked to the eclipse cycles. We are now in the period of the standing prayer.
18. THANKSGIVING FOR THE CREATORS UNFAILING MERCIES:We give thanks to You that You are Adonay our Creator and the Creator of our fathers and mothers forever and ever.Through every generation You have been the rock of our lives, the shield of our salvation. We will give You thanks and declare Your praise for our lives that are committed into Your hands, for our souls that are entrusted to You, for Your miracles that are daily with us, and for Your wonders and Your benefits that are with us at all times, evening, morning and noon.O beneficent one, Your mercies never fail; O merciful one, Your lovingkindnesses never cease. We have always put our hope in You.For all these acts may Your name be blessed and exalted continually, O our Sovereign, forever and ever. Let every living thing give thanks to You and praise Your name in truth, O HaShem, our salvation and our help. (Selah.)Blessed are You, O Adonay, whose Name is the Beneficent One, and to whom it is fitting to give thanks.
19. FOR PEACE:My HaShem, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceitfully. To those who curse me, let my soul be silent; and let my soul be like dust to everyone. Open my heart to Your Torah, then my soul will pursue Your commandments. As for all those who design evil against me, speedily nullify their counsel and disrupt their design. Act for Your Name's sake; act for Your right hand's sake; act for Your sanctity's sake; act for Your Torah's sake. That Your beloved ones may be given rest; let Your right hand save, and respond to me. * May they be acceptable the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart, before You Adonoy, my rock and my redeemer.Bow and take three steps back, Bow left and say He Who makes peace in His heights bow right and say may He make peace among us bow forward and say and upon all Israel... Amen.
The whole earth is now as all Israel.
