Remember the following three truth’s from our beloved Scriptures!
“Ye
shall NOT ADD TO THE WORD which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of יְהוָה
אֱלֹהֵיכֶם (the LORD your Elo’lei’chem) which I
command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2.

תְּפִלָּה
With Rabbi, Dr. Reuven Ben Avraham-Goossens, PhD.
Welcome to this brief look of a popular prayer, as seen below. It is first in Ivrit - Hebrew, followed by a Transliteration, and then the Translation!
יִבָּרֵךְ
יְהוָה
אֱלֹהֵינוּ
צְבָאוֹת, אֶת־מְלַאכְתֵּי
יָדֵינוּ
וְאֶת־דִּבְרֵי
שְׂפָתֵינוּ,
בְּכָבוֹד
וּבִזְכֻּרוֹן
אֶת־הָאֲשֶׁר
הָיוּ
לִפְנֵינוּ
וְאֶת־הַנּוֹצְרִים
עִמָּנוּ
בֶּאֱמוּנָה
וּבְשִׁמּוּר
הַמִּצְוֹת.
יַחֲזֵק
יְהוָה
בָּנוּ וְיַעֲצִים
עַמֵּינוּ
בְּחֶסֶד;
הִיגֵנוּ בְּחָכְמָה
וְיִתְמָךְ
בָּנוּ
בְּתֹורַת הָאֱמוּנָה
לְדוֹר
וָדוֹר. אָמֵן
כֵּן יְהִי
רָצוֹן
Transliteration:
“Yi’va’rekh Adonai Eloheinu Tzevaot, et’me’la’chei yad’einu ve‘et div’rei s’fa’tenu,
be’cha’vod u’viz’ku’ron et’ha’a’sher ha’yu lif’nei’nu ve’et ha’notz’rim im’anu be’emu’nah uv’shi’mur ha’mitz’vot. Yach’a’zek Adonai ba’nu v’ya’at’zim a’mei’nu be’che’sed; hi’ge’nu be’choch’mah v’yitmach ba’nu be’Torat ha’e’munah l’dor vador”. Amen, ken yehi ratzon.
Translation:
“May the Eternal One, יְהוָה
אֱלֹהֵינוּ -
(the LORD Elohim of Hosts), bless the work of our hands and the words of our
lips as we honour those who have been before us and those with us in faith and
upholding the Mitzvoth. May our/your communities be strengthened and be guided
by kindness, and sustained by the wisdom of all those who teach and who follow
our blessed Torah, faithfully!” Amen, may it be our will.
Let me now add a Concise Translation of
this prayer:
“May the Eternal One bless the work of our hands
and the words of our lips. May we honour past teachers
and support those who keep the mitzvot. May our communities grow stronger
through kindness and the wisdom of teachers and learners?” Amen.
There are three important questions for you to consider:
1 ... Which specific “work of our hands” do we most want blessed this week?
3 ... Who in our community represents the “wisdom of those who teach”? How can we sustain them practically?
3... How do we honour those who came before us while also supporting those beside us now?
This wonderful prayer gathers our deepest hopes into one clear plea: that יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים – blessed be His Holy Name, will bless the work of our hands and the words of our lips, encouraging our communities to live in kindness, and preserve the chain of Torah, wisdom from generation to generation. It names those of the past, who we honour, the present we sustain, and the future we pledge to build together.
May the words of the prayer, sharpen our intentions and move us to an act of caring and teaching His Word!
YYYYYYY
In Conclusion, a
Question to Deepen the Conversation:
Which part of the Tanakh study, or possibly a
particular line or statement within it has touched you the most? And
how do you feel about spending more time studying our beloved Tanakh? I pray
that you are doing well as a faithful Hebrew, and אֱלֹהִים - Elohim willing you are upholding as many of our
blessed Mitzvoth’s?
Dear reader, please remember
this, pray for peace and solitude in your life, and then work on keeping
as calm as possible and learn to improve your life, for אֱלֹהִים - בָּרוּךְ
אֱלֹהִים - Bless Elohim, He is
always there and ready to help and guide you!

PLEASE NOTE: If you need assistance in some way, just ask, I can email you special items to help you with whatever you may need, etc! Just email me (using the link further below) and I will send it to your email, without any follow up whatsoever, or any requests from me! The email is just down this page.
This site was originally for those who needed
to return to our blessed and wonderful faith, thus be wise and work on your
faith and pray at least two or of possible three times a day and always seek אֱלֹהִים - Elohim’s guidance!
But as you may have discovered it has become very much a teaching site!
Remember what אֱלֹהִים - Elohim, blessed be He, said the following, via a
number of our prophets...
“Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith צְבָאוֹת- יְהוָה- the LORD of hosts”. Mal’a’chi - Malachi 3:7. MEC).

Enjoy
your Sabbath Rest, Shabbat Shalom!
אֲנִי יְהוָה
אֱלֹהֵיכֶם, בְּחֻקּוֹתַי
לֵכוּ; וְאֶת-מִשְׁפָּטַי
שִׁמְרוּ, וַעֲשׂוּ
אוֹתָם
וְאֶת-שַׁבְּתוֹתַי, קַדֵּשׁוּ; וְהָיוּ
לְאוֹת, בֵּינִי
וּבֵינֵיכֶם-לָדַעַת, כִּי
אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם
“I am אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה
(the LORD your Elo’hei’chem);
walk in My statutes, and keep Mine
ordinances, and do them; and hallow My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign
between Me and you, that ye may know that I am אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה - YaHVaH your Elo’hei’chem”. Yechezkel - Ezekiel 20:19-20. (JPS).
YYYYYYY
“Hebraic Studies” motto is as follows;
“The
More Torah, the More Life”.
For our Elohim is the One who gave us ... our Life!
