Blessing Before Torah Reading in Hebrew and ASL (traditional version)

Rabbis Darby J Leigh and Roni Handler demonstrate the traditional blessing before the Torah reading in ASL and Hebrew singing.


Hebrew:

בָּרְכוּ אֶת אֲדֹנָי הַמְּבֹרָךְ. 

Transliteration:

Barukhu et Adonai hamvorakh.

  בָּרוּךְ אֲדֹנָי הַמְּבֹרָךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד. 

Transliteration:

Barukh Adonai hamvorakh l’olam va’ed.

בָּרוּךְ אֲדֹנָי הַמְּבֹרָךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר בָּנוּ מִכָּל הָעַמִּים וְנָתַן לָנוּ אֶת תּוֹרָתוֹ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי נוֹתֵן הַתּוֹרָה. 

Transliteration:

Barukh Adonai hamvorakh l’olam va’ed. Barukh atah Adonai eloheynu melekh ha’olam asher bakhar banu mikol ha’amim v’natan lanu Torahto. Barukh atah Adonai noten haTorah.

English:

Bless Adonai who is blessed.

Blessed is Adonai who is blessed now and forever.

Blessed is Adonai who is blessed now and forever.
Blessed are you Adonai, our G-d, Sovereign of the universe, who has chosen us from among the peoples, and given us the Torah. Blessed are you Adonai, who gives the Torah.
