Blessing of the Girls English
It is a widespread custom for parents to bless their children, of all ages, upon returning from the synagogue on Friday Night. The blessing reads: May God make you like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah. It expresses the hope that the girls will regard the Matriarchs of Israel as role models and adopt their righteous ways.
