motzei Shabbos

Offerings:

Laden with burdens

throughout the week,

weighted down with the cares

of olam haba (this world);

we look forward to sanctifying ourselves,

while basking in the light of Shabbat.

We bring ourselves, heavy-hearted,

casting our burdens upon Your mercy;

we offer up our only gifts to You –

our remembrance, and observance.

Zachor v’shamor, let us

remember and observe;

first to light the sparks within,

and learn to begin again,

after the Sabbath:

motzei Shabbos.
