בִּשְׁלֹשָׁה כְּלֵי שָׁרֵת
Equipped with three sacred implements:
אַהֲבַת ה', אַהֲבַת הַתּוֹרָה, אַהֲבַת יִשְׂרָאֵל
a love of G‑d, a love of the Torah, and a love of their fellow Jews.
צְרִיכִים צְעִירִים בְּנֵי תוֹרָה לָגֶשֶׁת לַעֲבוֹד בְּכֶרֶם ה' צְבָאוֹת
Young Torah scholars should approach their work [among the Jewish people, who are lovingly called] “the vineyard of the L‑rd of Hosts,”
לְקָרֵב לֵב אֲחֵיהֶם לְקִיּוּם מִצְוֹת מַעֲשִׂיּוֹת וּקְבִיעוּת עִתִּים לַתּוֹרָה
[Their task is] to draw the hearts of their brethren close to the observance of practical mitzvos and to the designation of fixed times for Torah study,
מִבְּלִי הִתְחַשֵּׁב עִם מַחֲלַת הַמִּפְלָגוֹת
regardless of the malady of party affiliation.
וְהָאֱמֶת הַגָּמוּר הוּא
The real truth is
אֲשֶׁר לֵב יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא מַעְיָן מְקוֹר מַיִם חַיִּים
that the heart of Israel is a spring of living water,
וּבְרִית כְּרוּתָה לַעֲבוֹדָה וְתַעֲמוּלָה שֶׁאֵינָן חוֹזְרוֹת רֵיקָם
and we are assured by an unshakable covenant that hard work and outreach endeavors will never be fruitless.
