The Seven Blessings (Sheva Brachot)
1.בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן. 2.בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁהַכֹּל בָּרָא לִכְבוֹדוֹ. 3.בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, יוֹצֵר הָאָדָם. 4.בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר יָצַר אֶת הָאָדָם בְּצַלְמו; בְּצֶלֶם דְּמוּת תַּבְנִיתו.ֹ וְהִתְקִין לוֹ מִמֶּנּוּ בִּנְיַן עֲדֵי עַד; בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה יוֹצֵר הָאָדָם. 5.שׂוֹשׂ תָּשִׂישׂ וְתָגֵל עֲקָרָה בְּקִבּוּץ בָּנֶיהָ לְתוֹכָהּ בְּשִׂמְחָה; בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה מְשַׂמֵּחַ צִיּוֹן בְּבָנֶיהָ; 6.שַׂמֵּחַ תְּשַׂמַּח רֵעִים אֲהוּבִים כְּשַׂמֵּחָךָ יְצִירְךָ בְּגַן עֵדֶן מִקֶּדֶם; בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה מְשַׂמֵּחַ חָתָן וְכַלָּה. 7.בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר בָּרָא שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה; חָתָן וְכַלָּה; גִּילָה רִנָּה; דִּיצָה וְחֶדְוָה; אַהֲבָה וְאַחֲוָה. שָׁלוֹם וְרֵעוּת. מְהֵרָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יִשָּׁמַע בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וּבְחוּצוֹת יְרוּשָׁלַיִם; קוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן וְקוֹל שִׂמְחָה; קוֹל חָתָן וְקוֹל כַּלָּה; קוֹל מִצְהֲלוֹת חֲתָנִים מֵחֻפָּתָם וּנְעָרִים מִמִּשְׁתֵּה נְגִינָתָם; בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה מְשַׂמֵּחַ הֶחָתָן עִם הַכַּלָּה.
Explanation For The blessing
Our sages decided to dedicate seven feast days to the bridge and groom. On each of the evenings following the wedding, a festive meal is prepared for at least ten guests, including a new guest at each meal.
The seven blessings are usually recited after Grace [birkat hamazon] has been recited, and wish happiness to the couple, expressing the hope that they will bring children to the world and singing gratitude for the creation of man.
The blessings are also said for Jerusalem as well as for the salvation of humanity. The seven blessings are of great significance and bring much joy to the bride and groom, it is therefore suggested to prepare at least one meal every day, thus allowing the blessings to be pronounced (it is not obligatory). It is a common custom for the blessings to be divided among six rabbis or honored family members and guests, such as grandfathers, uncles, etc. The blessings are of great power and should thus be answered with "Amen". Drinking the wine from the blessed tumbler will bring forth a perfect match (for those still seeking), marital harmony, good health and every salvation.
