Renewal

She-ti-cha-desh a-lei-nu

Et ha-Cho-desh Ha-zeh l’to-vah v’liv-ra-cha

Renew our lives, renew our spirits,

Fill our souls with blessing and with peace.

Let each new moon bring new beginnings,

Inspire us in ways to heal our world.

Ye-hi rat-zon mil-fan-e-cha,

A-do-nai El-o-hei-nu v’el-o-hei av-o-tei-nu

V’im-o-tei-nu, Cho-desh Tov

She-ti-cha-desh a-lei-nu

Et ha-Cho-desh Ha-zeh l’to-vah v’liv-ra-cha

V’ti-ten la-nu cha-im aru-ki-im,

Cha-im shel sha-lom, cha-im shel to-vah,

Cha-im shel b’ra-cha, cha-im shel par-na-sa

Renew our lives, renew our spirits,

Fill our souls with blessing and with peace.

Cha-im shel chi-lutz-atz-a-mot, cha-im she-yesh ba-hem

Yi-rat sha-ma-yim, v’yi-rat chet, cha-im she’ayn ba-hem, bush uch-li-ma

Let each new moon bring new beginnings,

Inspire us in ways to heal our world.

Cha-im shel o-sher v’cha-vod, cha-im she’t’hey va-nu,

A-ha-vat To-rah, v’yi-rat sha-ma-yim, cha-im she’yi-ma-lu,

mish-a’-alot li-bei-nu l’to-vah

She-ti-cha-desh a-lei-nu

Et ha-Cho-desh Ha-zeh l’to-vah v’liv-ra-cha

Renew our lives, renew our spirits,

Fill our souls with blessing and with peace.

A-men, Se-lah

Sha-lom, Cho-desh Tov
