Ruler of the universe, praised be Your name and Your sovereignty. May You desire Your people Israel forever, and may Your liberating power be revealed to them in Your sanctuary. Extend to us the goodness of Your light and with compassion accept our prayers. May it be Your will to grant us long life and well-being; may I be counted among the righteous, and in Your compassion protect me, my family, and all the people Israel. You are the one who nourishes and sustains all life. You rule over all, You have dominion over rulers, for true sovereignty is Yours.

Commentary PRAISED BE YOUR NAME בְּרִיךְ שְׁמֵהּ. The mystic Isaac Luria (1534–1574, Safed) recommended that this prayer be recited before the open ark. It appears in printed editions of the Zohar (II:206a), where the passage that appears in the left-hand column of the facing page serves as an introduction, but it is not found in earlier manuscripts. One manuscript attributes it to the writings of Moses Naḥmanides (1194–1270, Spain). Although its provenance is disputed, it has been cherished by many rites.
MarginNote The Zohar’s Introduction to B’rikh Sh’meih As soon as the Torah scroll is placed on the reading desk, the whole congregation below should assume an attitude of awe and fear, of trembling and quaking, as though they were at the moment of standing at Mount Sinai to receive the Torah, and they should pay attention and listen carefully; for it is not permitted then to open one’s mouth, even for discussing the Torah, still less other subjects. All must be in awe and fear, as though they were speechless, as it is written: “And when he [Ezra] opened it, all the people stood up,” and also “And the ears of all the people were attentive to the Torah scroll” (Nehemiah 8:5 and 8:3). Rabbi Shimon said: “When the Torah scroll is taken out to be read before the congregation, the heavenly gates of mercy are opened, the attribute of love is stirred up, and each one should then recite the following prayer: ‘Ruler of the universe, praised be Your name and Your sovereignty . . .’”
