The Al Hamichyah is an ancient prayer recited by our Jewish sisters and brothers after meals. A version of the Al Hamichyah appears below. This Thanksgiving, consider ending mealtime with this or another call to prayer and intention, so that the remainder of our day and of our lives may overflow with thanksgiving!

 Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, for the sustenance and for the nourishment, and for the vine and for the fruit of the vine, and for the tree and the fruit of the tree, for the produce of the field, and for the precious, good, and spacious land which You have graciously given as a heritage to our ancestors, to eat of its fruit and to be satiated with its goodness. Have mercy, Lord our God, on Israel Your people, on Jerusalem Your city, on Zion the abode of Your glory, on Your altar, and on Your Temple. Rebuild Jerusalem, the holy city, speedily in our days, and bring us up to it and make us rejoice in it, and we will bless You in holiness and purity. Remember us for good on this day of the festival of Remembrance. For You, Lord, are good and do good to all, and we offer thanks to You for the land and for the sustenance, and for the fruit of the vine, and for the fruits. Blessed are You Lord, for the land and for the sustenance, and for the fruit of the vine, and for the fruits.
