Sabbath Prayer

May the Lord protect and defend our children and future.
May the lord always shield you from shame.
May they come to be
In Israel a shining name.

May they be like Ruth and like Esther.
May they be deserving of praise.
Strengthen them, Oh Lord,
And keep them from the strangers' ways.

May God bless them and grant them long lives.

May God make them good mothers and wives.

May the Lord preserve them from pain.
Favor them, Oh Lord, with happiness and peace.
