[Blessing to Bat/Bar Mitzvah] Mi shebeirakh avoteinu, God of our people, and all who came before, Mi shebeirakh imoteinu, May your love and guidance open every door. Mi shebeirakh avoteinu, God of our people, whose strength will never cease, Mi shebeirakh imoteinu, May your love and guidance be a path to peace. L’dor va-dor, There comes an ancient yearning L’dor va-dor, No history can tame L’dor va-dor, And here and now We feel the seasons turning As a brand new spark is added To the world’s eternal flame. Mi shebeirakh avoteinu, Please bless this journey and all the joy it brings, Mi shebeirakh imoteinu, May your love and guidance fill the song he/she sings. L’dor va-dor, And in a distant future someday L’dor va-dor, May another chorus rise L’dor va-dor, And in that distant future someday May you see the light of knowledge In your son or daughter’s eyes. Mi shebeirakh avoteinu, God of our people, one thing we’re certain of From the seeds of faith and learning Grows a family never ending in its love.
