Remember us for life King, Who desires life; and inscribe us in the Book of Life, for Your sake, Living God.
לֵךְ֩ כְּנ֨וֹס אֶת־כׇּל־הַיְּהוּדִ֜ים הַֽנִּמְצְאִ֣ים בְּשׁוּשָׁ֗ן וְצ֣וּמוּ עָ֠לַ֠י וְאַל־תֹּאכְל֨וּ וְאַל־תִּשְׁתּ֜וּ שְׁלֹ֤שֶׁת יָמִים֙ לַ֣יְלָה וָי֔וֹם גַּם־אֲנִ֥י וְנַעֲרֹתַ֖י אָצ֣וּם כֵּ֑ן וּבְכֵ֞ן אָב֤וֹא אֶל־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־כַדָּ֔ת וְכַאֲשֶׁ֥ר אָבַ֖דְתִּי אָבָֽדְתִּי׃
“Go, assemble all the Jews who live in Shushan, and fast in my behalf; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens will observe the same fast. Then I shall go to the king, though it is contrary to the law; and if I am to perish, I shall perish!”
There were these hooligans in Rabbi Meir’s neighborhood who caused him a great deal of anguish. Rabbi Meir prayed for mercy on them, that they should die. Rabbi Meir’s wife, Berurya, said to him: What is your thinking? as it is written: “Let sins cease from the land.” is it written, sinners?”sins is written. Moreover, go to the end of the verse, “And the wicked will be no more.” If transgressions shall cease how is it possible that the wicked will be no more? Rather, pray for God to have mercy on them, that they should repent,
(since if they repent, then the wicked will be no more, as they will have repented.)
אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ
יַעֲלֶה וְיָבֹא וְיַגִּֽיעַ
וְיֵרָאֶה וְיֵרָצֶה וְיִשָּׁמַע
וְיִפָּקֵד וְיִזָּכֵר זִכְרוֹנֵֽנוּ וּפִקְדוֹנֵֽנוּ
וְזִכְרוֹן אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ וְזִכְרוֹן מָשִֽׁיחַ בֶּן דָּוִד עַבְדֶּֽךָ וְזִכְרוֹן יְרוּשָׁלַֽיִם עִיר קָדְשֶֽׁךָ וְזִכְרוֹן כָּל עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל לְפָנֶֽיךָ. לִפְלֵיטָה לְטוֹבָה לְחֵן וּלְחֶֽסֶד וּלְרַחֲמִים לְחַיִּים וּלְשָׁלוֹם בְּיוֹם הַזִּכָּרוֹן הַזֶּה.
זָכְרֵֽנוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ בּוֹ לְטוֹבָה.
וּפָקְדֵֽנוּ בוֹ לִבְרָכָה.
וְהוֹשִׁיעֵֽנוּ בוֹ לְחַיִּים.
וּבִדְבַר יְשׁוּעָה וְרַחֲמִים חוּס וְחָנֵּֽנוּ. וְרַחֵם עָלֵֽינוּ וְהוֹשִׁיעֵֽנוּ.
כִּי אֵלֶֽיךָ עֵינֵֽינוּ. כִּי אֵל מֶֽלֶךְ חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם אָֽתָּה:
Our God and God of our fathers,
may there ascend, come, and reach,
appear, be desired, and heard,
counted and recalled our remembrance and reckoning;
the remembrance of our fathers; the remembrance of the Messiah the son of David, Your servant; the remembrance of Yerushalayim, city of Your Sanctuary and the remembrance of Your entire people, the House of Yisrael, before You for survival, for well-being, for favor, kindliness, compassion, for life and peace on this day of Remembrance.
Remember us Adonai, our God on this day for well-being;
be mindful of us on this day for blessing,
and deliver us for life.
In accord with the promise of deliverance and compassion, spare us and favor us, have compassion on us and deliver us;
for to You our eyes are directed because You are the Almighty, Who is King, Gracious and Merciful.
Our God and God of our fathers, reign over the entire world with Your glory, and be uplifted over all the earth with Your honor, and appear in the splendor of Your majestic might over all who dwell in the inhabited world of Your earth; so everything that has been made will know that You have made it, and it will be understood by everything that was formed that You formed it, And they will say, everyone who has breath in their nostrils, “Adonai, God of Yisrael, is King and His Kingship rules over all.”
