HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELOMIT! I’m out of town this weekend, so I can’t do a watchalong in your honor, but that’s just a raincheck! You get to pick for the next watchalong.

מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת (Shelomit) לִתְקוּפַת יוֹם הֻלַּדְתּוֹ/הֻלַּדְתָּהּ.	May the One who blessed our fathers, Avraham, Yitsḥaq, and Ya’aqov, bless (Shelomit) on the (?) anniversary of their birthday.
הָאֱלֹהִים הָרוֹעֶה אוֹתוֹ מֵעוֹדוֹ/אוֹתָהּ מֵעוֹדָהּ עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה יִשְׁמְרֵֽהוּ/יִשְׁמְרֶֽהָ וִיחַיֵּֽהוּ/וִיחַיֶּֽהָ וִיאַשְּׁרֵֽהוּ/וִיאַשְּׁרֶֽהָ	May Elohim who enabled them to live to this day continue their mercies and grant them many more years of health and happiness.
וְיוֹסִיף לוֹ/לָהּ שְׁנוֹת חַיִּים וּבְרָכָה בְּטוֹב וּבִנְעִימוֹת בְּרָב־עֹז וְשָׁלוֹם וְנָֽסוּ יָגוֹן וַאֲנָחָה.	May [Elohim] keep them free from all anxieties and bodily ills.
יְחַדֵּֽהוּ/יְחַדֶּֽהָ בְאֽשֶׁר וּבְשִׂמְחַת לֵבָב שֶׁל־כׇּל־אֲהוּבֵי נַפְשׁוֹ/נַפְשָׁהּ	May [Elohim] cause them to rejoice in the happiness of all who are dear to them.
וִימַלֵּא כׇּל־מִשְׁאֲלוֹת לִבּוֹ/לִבָּהּ תִּקְווֹתָיו/תִּקְווֹתֶֽיהָ וּתְפִלּוֹתָיו/וּתְפִלּוֹתֶֽיהָ לְטוֹבָה.	May [Elohim] enable them to behold the fulfilment of all their worthy hopes and prayers.
אָמֵן׃	Amen.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם שֶׁהֶחֱיָֽנוּ וְקִיְּמָֽנוּ וְהִגִּיעָֽנוּ לַזְּמָן הַזֶּה:	Blessed be you YHVH our elo’ah King of the universe who has kept us in life, sustained us and brought us to this happy occasion.

Now, for birthdays, we light candles, and Rekha says:

We invite family

And we DANCE!
