Prayers Upon Awakening

Starting Off Right!

Recited immediately upon awakening:

Modeh Ani Lefanecha
Melech Chai Vekayom
Shehechezarta Bi Nishmati
Bechemla
Raba Emunatecha

I offer thanks to You,
living and eternal King,
for You have mercifully restored my soul within me;
Your faithfulness is great.

Recited after ritually washing the hands:

Baruch Ata Ado-nai
Elo-hanu Melech Haolam
Asher Kidishanu Bemitzvotav
Vetzivanu Al Netilat Yadayim

Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d,
King of the universe,
who has sanctified us with His commandments,
and commanded us concerning the washing of the hands.

Recited before the morning prayers:

Haraynee Mekabel Alai
Mitzvat Asai
Shel Ve’ahavta
Lerayacha kamocha.

I hereby take upon myself
to fulfill the commandment of
loving your fellow as yourself.

Morning prayer
Thank you so much for this page! I love the morning prayer. It reminds me that if the sun comes up that G-d is still on his throne, reigning as King and that if my eyes open and I have breath in my body, I have a new opportunity to live today differently than yesterday.

Great page.
I love these pages. I've been using this page for a few months now, and for the first few days, I had to look at this page to help me recite, but now, I have it memorized so much, that I sometimes say the prayers when I'm not even thinking about it. Thank you, and G-d be with you all who read this.

Beautiful prayers....
These are beautiful prayers that can be said by all G-d's people, I would love to thank the authors of this web-page for putting these prayers onto here; I love being able to praise Hashem every day, with all my heart and soul and I am a proud and true Jew. Luck to all who want to become Jewish and many thanks, may the L-rd G-d always be with you.
