Shalom All!
Let me share with you a special prayer on Father’s Day. This is part of the Amidah, or standing prayer. I would like to share with you the Ahvot portion (which means “Fathers”), of the Amidah prayer.
Blessed are You, L-RD, our G-d and G-d of our fathers, G-d of Abraham, G-d of Isaac, and G-d of Jacob; the great, mighty, and awesome G-d, the most high G-d, Who bestows grace and creates all, and remembers the righteousness of the fathers, and brings a Redeemer to their children’s children, for His name’s sake, with love.
O King, Helper, Savior, and Shield. Blessed are You, O L-RD, shield of Abraham.
Amen
Ba-rooch ah-ta Adonai, Eh-lo-hay-noo v’eh-lo-hay ah-vo-tay-noo, Eh-lo-hay Ahv-ra-hahm, Eh-lo-hay Yeetz-chahk, v’Eh-lo-hay Ya-ah-kov; Ha-ale ha-ga-dole ha-gee-bore v’ha-no-ra, Ale el-yone, go-male cha-sa-deem toe-veem, v’ko-nay ha-kole, v’zo-chare chas-day ah-vote, oo-may-vee go-ale leave-nay v’nay-hem, l’ma-ahn sh’mo b’ah-ha-va.
Meh-lech oh-zair oo-mo-she-ah oo-ma-gain. Ba-rooch ah-ta Adonai, ma-gain Ahv-ra-hahm.
Amein
Blessings, Shalom, and Happy Father’s Day!

David and I hope you had a wonderful Father’s Day. I know from watching how you interact with your children that you are a loving, caring and compassionate person with a father’s heart. May our HEAVENLY ABBA bless you and keep you and may you always have HIS favor upon you and your house.
