May the One
who blessed our ancestors,
Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah,
bless this
mother:
[name]
and this
father:
[name]
as well as
their son:
[name]
Merciful
God, grant that this child grow to maturity in good health and mind.
May he be a
sensitive human being, a caring son, man, husband and father.
May he be
spared the ravages of war and violence, the bitterness of hatred and prejudice.
May he be a
blessing to all who love him, to the people Israel, and to all humanity.
May he be
blessed with long life surrounded by his beloved family and may his
parents find wisdom and length of days to raise
their son to the study and practice of Torah, deeds of compassion and
righteousness, and to
witness his achievement of love fulfilled.
May he be
capable of loving deeply, and may he be loved deeply, and let us say:
Amen.
