Lighting the Memorial Candle
The light of a life is a finite flame. Our lives glow for a time,
radiate warmth and beauty, and then fade and are no more.
Yet our lives are more than this. Something in us goes beyond
the temporary limits of flesh which fails and bones which yield to time.
Something in us can never die.
The memorial candle we now kindle is a sign of that truth.
As it burns pure and bright, so may the memory of ____________
brighten and purify our lives.

Adonai ori veyishi; mimi ira? Adonai ma'oz chayyai, mimi efchad?
Adonai is my light and my redemption; what shall I fear?
Adonai is the strength of my life; what shall make me afraid?
(Psalm 27:1)
and made effective
and be acknowledged
and be given the right honor
and be seen as beautiful
and uplifting
and bring jubilation.
Way beyond our input
of worshipful song and praise
which we express in this world
as our agreement and hope, AMEN.
May that endless peace
that heaven can release for us
bring about the good life
for us and for all Israel
as we express our agreement and hope, AMEN.
You, who harmonize it all
on the highest planes:
bring harmony and peace to us,
to all Israel and all sentient beings
as we express our agreement and hope, AMEN.

I pray to You God,
that the power residing in Your Great Name
be increased and made sacred
in this world which God created freely
in order to preside in it,
and grow its freeing power
and bring about the messianic era.
May this happen during our lifetime
and during the lifetime of all of us
living now, the house of Israel.
May this happen soon, without delay
and by saying AMEN we express our agreement and hope,
AMEN.
May that immense power residing in God's great name
flow freely into our world and worlds beyond.
May that Great Name, that sacred energy,
be shaped
Blessing
Hold onto what is good
Even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold onto what you believe
Even if it is a tree that stands by itself.
Hold onto what you must do
Even if it is a long way from here.
Hold onto life
Even if it seems easier to let go.
Hold onto my hand
Even if I have gone away from you.
(traditional Pueblo)
Late fragment
And did you get what
you wanted from this life even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

The Shema and Her Blessings
Mourner's Kaddish
Barchu — Call to Prayer
As we bless the Source of Life, so we are blessed.
And the blessing gives us strength, and makes our visions clear;
And the blessing gives us peace, and the courage to dare.
As we bless the Source of Life, so we are blessed.

Let Evening Come
Let the light of late afternoon
shine through chinks in the barn, moving
up the bales as the sun moves down.
Let the cricket take up chafing
as a woman takes up her needles
and her yarn. Let evening come.
Let dew collect on the hoe abandoned
in long grass. Let the stars appear
and the moon disclose her silver horn.
Let the fox go back to its sandy den.
Let the wind die down. Let the shed
go black inside. Let evening come.
To the bottle in the ditch, to the scoop
in the oats, to air in the lung
let evening come.
Let it come, as it will, and don’t
be afraid. God does not leave us
comfortless, so let evening come.

Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Source of all being,
by Whose word the evening falls.
In wisdom You open heaven’s gates.
With understanding You make seasons change, causing the times
to come and go, ordering the stars on their appointed paths
through heaven’s dome, all according to Your will.
Creator of day and night, who rolls back light before dark,
and dark before light, who makes day pass away
and brings on the night, dividing between day and night;
the Leader of Heaven's Multitudes is Your name!

Then shall your realm be established on earth, and the word of

With eternal love, You love the house of Israel. Torah and mitzvot, laws
and justice You have taught us. And so, Adonai, our God, when we lie
down and when we rise, we reflect upon Your laws; we take pleasure in
Your Torah’s words and your mitzvot, now and always. Truly, they are
our life, our length of days. On them we meditate by day and night.
Your love will never depart from us as long as worlds endure. Blessed
are You, Adonai, who loves Your people Israel.

Therefore we hope in You, Adonai our God, to see soon the power
of Your beauty wipe away false gods from the earth and sweep
away idolatry, so that the truth of Your sovereign presence will
repair the world. Then will all humanity call Your name and then
all that had been dark will turn to Your light. All who dwell on
earth will feel in their hearts and know in their minds that You are
our source—the true object of devotion and loyalty.

earth is Yours and Your glory fills it forever.
Unending Love
We are loved by unending love.
We are embraced by arms that find us
even when we are hidden from ourselves.
We are touched by fingers that soothe us
even when we are too proud for soothing.
We are counseled by voices that guide us
even when we are too embittered to hear.
We are loved by unending love.
We are supported by hands that uplift us
even in the midst of a fall.
We are urged on by eyes that meet us
even when we are too weak for meeting.
We are loved by unending love.
Embraced, touched, soothed, and counseled,
ours are the arms, the fingers, the voices;
ours are the hands, the eyes, the smiles;
We are loved by unending love.

How good it will be when you really listen and hear My directions which
I give you today, to love Yah who is your God and to act godly with
feeling and inspiration. Your earthly needs will be met at the right time,
appropriate to the season. You will reap what you have planted for your
delight and health. Also your animals will have ample feed. All of you
will eat and be content.
Be careful—watch out! Don't let your cravings delude you; don't become
alienated; don't let your cravings become your gods; don't debase
yourself to them because the God-sense within you will become
distorted. Heaven will be shut to you, grace will not descend, Earth will
not yield her produce. Your rushing will destroy you! And Earth will not
be able to recover her good balance in which God's gifts manifest.

(Translation by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi z"l)
A psalm of David: God is my shepherd; I shall not want.
God makes me lie down in green pastures, and leads me beside still
waters to restore my soul;
God leads me in paths of righteousness for the sake of God's name.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear
no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You set a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Truly goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of Adonai forever.
