1. ACHEINU

אַחֵינוּ כָּל בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל

הַנְתוּנִים בַּצָרָה וּבְשִבְיָה

הָעוֹמְדִים בֵּין בַּיָם וּבֵין בַּיַבָּשָה

הַמָקוֹם יְרַחֵם עַלֵיהֶם

וְיוֹצִיאֵם מִצָרָה לִרְוָחָה

וּמֵאַפֵלָה לְאוֹרָה וּמִשִעְבּוּד לִגְאוּלָה

הַשְתָּא בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב

וְנֹאמַר: אָמֵן.

Acheinu kol beit Yisrael,

hanitunim batzarah uvashivyah

ha'omdim bein bayam uvein bayabasha.

HaMakom y'racheim aleihem

v'yotziem mitzara lirvacha 

ume’afayla l'orah, umishibud ligeulah, 

hashta ba'agalah uvizman kariv.

V’nomar: Amen. 

Our brothers and sisters, the entire family of Israel,

who are in distress and captivity

Whether they are on sea and over land –

May G-d have mercy on them,

and remove them from distress to relief,

from darkness to light, from slavery to redemption,

now, swiftly, and soon.

And let us say: Amen. 

2. HINEI MAH TOV

הִנֵּה מַה טּוֹב וּמַה נָעִים שֶבֶת אַחִים גַם יָחַד

How good and how pleasant it is for brothers and sisters to dwell together in unity!

3. OSEH SHALOM

עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו 

הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ

וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל. 

וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן.

Oseh shalom bimromav

Hu ya’aseh shalom aleinu

V’al kol Yisrael

He Who makes peace in His heights,

May He make peace upon us,

And upon all Israel.

And say: Amen.

4. AM YISRAEL CHAI

עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי עוֹד אָבִינוּ חַי

People of Israel live, our Father lives!

5. HATIKVA

כֹּל עוֹד בַּלֵּבָב פְּנִימָה 

נֶפֶשׁ יְהוּדִי הוֹמִיָּה, 

וּלְפַאֲתֵי מִזְרָח, קָדִימָה, 

עַיִן לְצִיּוֹן צוֹפִיָּה

עוֹד לֹא אָבְדָה תִּקְוָתֵנוּ, 

הַתִּקְוָה בַּת שְׁנוֹת אַלְפַּיִם, 

לִהְיוֹת עַם חָפְשִׁי בְּאַרְצֵנוּ, 

אֶרֶץ צִיּוֹן וִירוּשָׁלַיִם

Kol od ba’le’vav p’nima,

Nefesh yehudi ho’miyah.

U’lefa-atei mizrach kadimah,

Ayin le’Tziyyon tzofiyah.

Od lo avda tikva-teinu,

Ha’tikvah bat sh’not al-payim

Lih-yot am chofshi b’ar-tzeinu

Eretz Tziyyon v’Yerushalayim.

As long as within our hearts

The Jewish soul sings,

As long as forward to the East

To Zion, looks the eye –

Our hope is not yet lost,

It is two thousand years old,

To be a free people in our land

The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
