 V’achalta, v’sa-va ta oo’vay-rach-ta

A Blessing After the Meal 

by Hannah Tiferet

"We ate when we were hungry and now we're satisfied.

We thank the Source of Blessing for all that S/He provides.

V'achalta v'sa-va-ta oo-vay-rach ta....

Hunger is a yearning in body and soul.

Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit make us whole.

V'achalta v'sa-va-ta oo-vay-rach ta....

Giving and receiving we open up our hands.

From Seedtime through Harvest we're partners with the land.

V'achalta v'sa-va-ta oo-vay-rach ta....

We share in a vision of wholeness and release

Where every child is nourished and we all live in peace.

V'achalta v'sa-va-ta oo-vay-rach ta.... "

A joyous way of acknowledging the food that we eat by saying Birkat HaMazon, the Blessing After Meals.
