Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haolam,
asher kid'shanu b'mitzvvotav v'ratzah vanu,
v'Shabbat kodsho b'ahavah uv'ratzon hinchilanu,

Ki hu yom t'chilah l'mikra-ei kodesh,
zeicher litziat Mitzrayim.
Ki vanu vacharta, v'otanu kidashta, mikol haamim.
V'Shabbat kodsh'cha b'ahavah uv'ratzon hinchaltanu.
Baruch atah Adonai, m'kadeish haShabbat.
Praise to You, Eternal our God, Soverign of the universe, who sanctifies us with mitzvot and takes delight in us. In love and favor, God made the holy Shabbat, our heritage as a reminder of the work of Creation. It is first among our sacred days, and a remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt. O God, You have chosen us and set us apart from all the peoples, and in love and favor have given us the Sabbath day as a sacred inheritance. Praise to You, Eternal, for the Sabbath and its holiness.
