CARROT - ZANAHORIA - GEZER

The Hebrew word for carrot gezer is similar to ligzor, to decree, so we ask that God judge us with a positive decree.

La palabra hebrea para zanahoria "gezer" es similar a "ligzor", decretar, así que le pedimos a Dios que nos juzgue con un decreto positivo.

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְפָנֶיךָ ה' אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ שֶׁתִּרְגֹז עָלֵינוּ גְזֵרוֹת טוֹבוֹת
Yehi ratzon milfanecha Adonai Eloheinu v'elohei avoteinu, she'tirgoz aleinu g'zeirot tovot.
Yeji ratzón milfaneja Adonai Elojeinu v'elojei avoteinu, she'tirgoz aleinu g'zeirot tovot.

May it be Your will, Eternal our G-d and the G-d of our ancestors, that you decree for us good outcomes.

Que sea Tu voluntad, Dios Eterno y Dios de nuestros antepasados, que nos decretes buenos resultados.

Geulah/Redemption I

They say that when we move in silence
from the blessing for redemption into the standing prayer
without pause, precise, at sunrise
we do as the pious would (although we’re not required to)
I was driven out into these copper sands
by restlessness and shame, not my intention to juxtapose
the blessing for redemption
with the plea for open lips and dew drops
Time was running out, I was not silent
Please, hear and understand me
I have no ancestors to bless, I will die without descendants
Spread your wing and hold me until the break of dawn

Geulah/Redemption II

Let me say again, lovers can be
vessels of redemption 
Remember us
Let us
remember us
for good
for the sake of our names
for the sake of our hands
for the sake of making old days new and new days holy

POMEGRANATE - GRANADA - RIMON
One of the seven fruits of Israel, the pomegranate, or rimon in Hebrew, is believed to also have 613 seeds, symbolizing the 613 Mitzvot, or deeds, we are commanded to achieve in our lifetime. With this blessing, we ask for a year of good deeds.
Una de las siete frutas de Israel, la granada, o "rimon" en hebreo, tiene 613 semillas, simbolizando las 613 "Mitzvot", o hechos, que se nos ordena lograr en nuestra vida. Con esta bendición, pedimos un año de buenas obras.

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ ה' אֱלֹהינוּ וֵאלֵֹהי אֲבוֹתֵינו שֶׁנִּהְיֶה מְלֵאִים מִצְוות כרִימון
Yehi ratzon milfanecha Adonai Eloheinu v’elohei avoteinu, she’nihiyeh m’lei’im mitzvot ka’rimon.
Yeji ratzón milfaneja Adonai Elojeinu v'elojei avoteinu, she’nijiyeh m’lei’im mitzvot ka’rimón.
May it be Your will, Eternal our G-d and the G-d of our ancestors, that we be filled with mitzvot like a pomegranate (that is filled with seeds).
Que sea Tu voluntad, Dios Eterno y Dios de nuestros antepasados, que seamos llenos de mitzvot como una granada (que está llena de semillas).
