Bless us, Parent, all of us as one, in the light of Your face. Because: in the light of Your face, our God, You give us living torah, loving kindness, and justice, and blessing, and compassion, and livingness, and peace.
May it be good in Your eyes to bless your people Israel, in every season, in every moment, with Your peace.
Blessed are you, God who blesses Israel with peace.
Thank you so very much to Cantor Adi Arad for this outstanding, splendid presentation.
Sim Shalom means "put peace," but is more often translated at "endow us with peace," or "grant peace." Peace is sought in a context with other desirable societal qualities, like goodness, blessing, loving kindness, compassion, and more.... It is a thought provoking and inspiring prayer.
In Sim Shalom, peace is sought for us and for Israel. The first "us" seems the intimate us, one's closest people, peace in the home. The second us is expansive, and includes every one, together, in the light of God's face.
According to Wikipedia, in the Sephardic and other rituals, Sim Shalom is said in the morning, afternoon, and evening services. Only in the Ashkenaz ritual is it said only in the morning. So I apologize for my ignorance in a previous post. I always associated Sim Shalom with Shacharit, the morning service, but, as I just learned, much of the Jewish world has it in all three of the daily services.
