Elohai Neshama

“The soul that you, my God, has given me is pure.
You created it.
You formed it.
You breathed it into me.
You protect it within me and you will some day take it from my body and return it to me in the world to come.


As long as my soul is within me, I give thanks to you Adonai, my God and the God of my ancestors,
Master of all creation,
​Lord of all souls
Praised are you, Adonai
Restorer of souls to bodies that have died.”
