ENGLISH TRANSLATION ON THESE PAGES:

We seek to thank You, L-rd our G-d, for bequeathing to our forefathers

a gorgeous, wonderful, wide-open land

and for delivering us, L-rd our G-d, from the land of Egypt and for redeeming us from a regime of slavery; and for inscribing Your covenant on our flesh, and for teaching us Your Torah, and for communicating to us Your Laws; and for the life, grace and kindness You endowed in us; and for the act of eating, which You support and sustain in us constantly -- every day, every season, every hour.
