We have previously completed the brachah of Ahavah Rabbah in our Tefilah Focus series. At this time, in connection with the Yom Tov of Shavuos, we are adding these thoughts, which did not appear in our initial segments.
Nosein liv’heimah lachmah, livnei oreiv asher yikra’u.

Enu laShem b’sodah, zamru leilokeinu b’chinor.
Call out to Hashem with thanks; with the harp, sing to our G-d.
Ha’m’chaseh shamayim b’avim, ha’meichin la’aretz matar, ha’matzmiach harim chatzir.
