Blessings for Sukkot
One of the special mitzvahs of Sukkot is to recite a blessing on
the "The Four Kinds," a citron, a palm branch, three myrtle
twigs and two willow branches. We hold them close together, we recite
a blessing over them and, as is customary, wave them to all the
four sides and upward and downward.
The blessing we say is:
Transliteration:
Böruch atö adonöy, elohaynu melech hö-olöm,
asher ki-d’shönub’mitzvosöv, v’tzivönu
al n’tilas lulöv.
Translation:
Blessed are You, L-rd, our G-d, King of the universe, who has sanctified
us with His commandments and has commanded us to hold the lulav.
Recite the following additional blessing the first time only.
Transliteration:
Böruch atö adonöy, elohaynu melech hö-olöm,
she-heche-yönu v’ki-y’mönu v’higi-önuliz’man
ha-ze.
Translation:
Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, who has granted
us life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this occasion.
