With all my heart, with all my soul, with all my might.
I am thankful for the gift of this wonderful child.
I thank you for a healthy pregnancy, a safe delivery and speedy recovery.
With all my heart, with all my soul, with all my might.
I hope for the continued health of this child.
I hope for him to be strong in mind and body,
To grow steadily and sturdily in a home filled with joy.
I hope for him to become a person who greets the world
With passion, courage, humility, humor and patience.
With all my heart, with all my soul, with all my might.
-Rabbi Maggie Wenig, adapted from the poem by Rabbi Judy Shanks
