Kiddush for Rosh Hashonah

 

Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who hast chosed us from all peoples and exalted us above all tongues, and sanctified us by thy commandments. And thou has given us in love, O Lord our God, this Day of Memorial, a day of blowing the Shofar, an holy convocation, as a memorial of the departure from Egypt. For thou hast chosen us and hast sanctified us above all nations; and thy word in truth and endureth forever. Blessed art thou, O Lord, King over all the earth, who sanctifiest Israel and the Day of Memorial.
