A Reading
We Remember Him
by Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer
At the rising sun and at its going down; We remember him.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter; We remember him.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring; We remember him.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer; We remember him.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of the autumn; We remember him.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends; We remember him.
As long as we live, he too will live,
for he is now a part of us as We remember him.
for he is now a part of us as We remember him.
When we are weary and in need of strength; We remember him.
When we are lost and sick at heart; We remember him.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make; We remember him.
When we have joy we crave to share; We remember him.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs; We remember him.
For as long as we live, he too will live,
for he is now a part of us as We remember him.
for he is now a part of us as We remember him.

In English
Magnified and sanctified may God’s great name be, in the world God created, as God willed;
may God’s sovereignty be established in your lifetimes and in your days, and in the lifetimes of all the house of Israel, swiftly and soon — and say: Amen.
May God’s great name be blessed forever and ever.
Blessed and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy Blessed One, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are spoken in the world — and say: Amen.
May there be great peace from heaven, and life for us and for all Israel — and say: Amen.
May the One who makes peace in the high places make peace for us and for all Israel — and say: Amen.
בעברית
יִתְגּדּל וְיִתְקדּשׁ שְמֵהּ רַבּא. בּעָלְמָא דִי בְרָא כִרְעוּתֵהּ, וְיַמְלִיךְ מַלְכוּתֵהּ בּחַיֵּיכוֹן וּבְיוֹמֵיכוֹן וּבְחַיֵּי דְכָל בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל, בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן.
יְהֵא שְמֵהּ רַבּא מְבָרַךְ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי עָלְמַיָּ.
יִתְבָּרַךְ וְיִשְׁתַּבּח, וְיִתְפָּאַרְ וְיִתְרוֹמַם וְיִתְנַשֵּׂא, וְיִתְהַדַּרְ וְיִתְעַלֶּה וְיִתְהַלַּלְ שְמֵהּ דְּקֻדְשָׁא, בְּרִיךְ הוּא. לְעֵלָּא מִן כָּלבִּרְכָתָא וְשִׁירָתָא, תֻשְׁבְּחָתָא וְנֶחֱמָתָא, דַּאֲמִירָן בְּעָלְמָא, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן.
יְהֵא שְלָמָא רַבּא מִן שְמַיָּ, וְחַיִּים עָלֵינוּ וְעַלוֹ כָּליִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן.
עושֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו, הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ וְעַלוֹ כָּליִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן.
