Morning Prayer

I give thanks unto You, Adonai,
that, in mercy,
You have restored my soul within me.
Endless is Your compassion;
great is Your faithfulness.
I thank You, Adonai,
for the rest You have given me through the night
and for the breath that renews my body and spirit.
Amen.

Opening Sentance

How sweet, O Lord, are your words to my taste; sweeter than honey in my mouth.. . . .Psalm 119:103

Always be joyful, pray continually;
give thanks, whatever happens.

9 How can young people keep their way pure?
    By guarding it according to your word.
10 With my whole heart I seek you;
    do not let me stray from your commandments.
11 I treasure your word in my heart,
    so that I may not sin against you.
12 Blessed are you, O Lord;
    teach me your statutes.
13 With my lips I declare
    all the ordinances of your mouth.
14 I delight in the way of your decrees
    as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate on your precepts,
    and fix my eyes on your ways.
16 I will delight in your statutes;
    I will not forget your word.

Sukkot - Wave the Lulav

Face east while holding the Lulav bundle in your right hand and the etrog in your left hand. You lift them together with the etrog (lemon) pointing downward and recite the Lulav blessing.

Blessed are you, Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
Who sanctifies us with His commandments
and commanded us regarding the waving of the Lulav.
