This moment holds particular power. In this blessing, we ask the Almighty to grant children good midot (character traits), health, luck, wisdom, and happiness.  <\/p>\n<p><span>This prayer not only asks for blessings but also erases any curses or bad words spoken against the children. It is important to note that the blessing can be recited by either the mother or the father, emphasizing the importance of each parent\u2019s role in providing spiritual support to their children on this sacred day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Before the bracha, place your right hand on the child\u2019s head and say:<\/p>\n<p><strong>For boys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yesimekha Elohim ke\u2019Efrayim vekhiMenashe.<\/p>\n<p>Yevarekhekha Adonai veyishmerekha; ya\u2019er Adonai panav elekha vi\u0125uneka; yisa Adonai panav elekha veyasem lekha shalom.   <\/p>\n<p>Vihi ratzon milifnei Avinu shebashamayim sheyiten belibekha ahavato veyirato, vetihyeh yirat Adonai al panekha kol yamekha shelo te\u0125eta, vihi \u0125eshkekha beTorah uvmitzvot.

May He grant you righteous sons and daughters who engage in the Torah and the commandments all their days. May the source of your posterity be blessed. May He arrange your livelihood for you in a permissible way, with contentment and with relief, from beneath His generous hand, and not through the gifts of flesh and blood; a livelihood that will free you to serve HASHEM.
