מְבָרְכִים רֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ כִּסְלֵו
We bless the month of Kislev.
אֲמִירַת כָּל הַתְּהִלִּים בְּהַשְׁכָּמָה
[On Shabbos Mevarchim, it is our custom] to recite the entire Book of Tehillim early in the morning
יוֹם הִתְוַעֲדוּת
and to hold a farbrengen on that day.
עֲבוֹדָה הַקְּדוֹשָׁה בַּאֲמִירַת תְּהִלִּים בְּצִבּוּר, אֵין דֵּי בַּאֵר גּוֹדֶל הַזְּכוּת שֶׁל הַמִּשְׁתַּתְּפִים בָּזֶה
No words can describe the great merit accruing to those who participate in the holy task of reciting Tehillim as part of a congregation,
וְגוֹדֶל הַנַּחַת רוּחַ שֶׁל מַעְלָה כִּמְבוֹאָר בְּסִפְרֵי קוֹדֶשׁ
nor the great pleasure this arouses Above, as is spoken of in the sacred literature.
וְאֶפֶס קָצֵהוּ בְּקוּנְטְרֵס תַּקָּנַת אֲמִירַת תְּהִלִּים בָּרַבִּים (קוֹבֶץ מִכְתָּבִים, א)
A mere sliver of this is recorded in [the booklet entitled] Kuntreis Takkanas Amiras Tehillim BeRabbim (Kovetz Michtavim).
וְאַשְׁרֵיכֶם יִשְׂרָאֵל
Fortunate are you, O Israel.
וּבִגְלַל זֹאת תִּתְבָּרְכוּ אַתֶּם נְשֵׁיכֶם בְּנֵיכֶם וּבְנוֹתֵיכֶם, ה' עֲלֵיהֶם יִחְיוּ
By virtue of these endeavors, may you, your wives, sons, and daughters, be blessed
בִּבְרִיאוּת נְכוֹנָה וּבְפַרְנָסָה בְּהָרְחָבָה גְדוֹלָה
with good health and abundant prosperity.
וּלְרַגְלֵיכֶם יִוָּשְׁעוּ כָּל עֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁיִחְיוּ בְּמַחְנְכֶם הַטָּהוֹר
And in your merit, may salvation be granted to the entire congregation of Israel in your fine community,
בְּתוֹךְ כְּלַל אֲחֵינוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל
together with the entire Jewish people,
בְּהַדָּרוּשׁ לָהֶם בְּגֶשֶׁם וּבְרוּחַ
in all their material and spiritual needs.
