“Our God and the God of our fathers, preserve this child for his father and for his mother, and may his name be called in Israel (baby’s Hebrew name) son of (father’s Hebrew name). O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever!  (Baby’s Hebrew name) son of (father’s Hebrew name), may this little one become great.”

And all respond with:

“Just as he has entered into the covenant, so may he enter into the study of Torah, the marriage canopy, and the performance of good deeds.”
