Savri maranan ve-rabotai:
Barukh atah Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha-olam, borei peri ha-gafen.
Barukh atah Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha-olam, asher kiddeshanu be-mitzvotav ve-ratzah vanu, ve-Shabbat kodsho be-ahavah u-ve-ratzon hinchilanu, zikaron le-ma’aseh bereshit.

Barukh atah Adonai, mekadesh ha-Shabbat.
וַיְהִי עֶֽרֶב וַיְהִי בֹֽקֶר יוֹם הַשִּׁשִּׁי: …
[Quiet] And it was evening, and it was morning,
[Loud] the sixth day. The heavens and the earth were completed and all their hosts. … Blessed are You, LORD, who sanctifies the Shabbat.
Drink some of the wine and share the remainder with those present.
