2016-12-21 The Hanukkah addition to Al Hanissim

Молитва Аль аНисим - выражение нашей благодарности Всевышнему за чудеса, совершенные для нас в Хануку и Пурим. Начало ее - "За чудеса" - одинаковое для обоих праздников, затем в Хануку следует текст "В дни Матитьяhу...", а в Пурим "В дни Мордехая и Эстер...". Вставка в молитву Аль аНисим говорится ежедневно в течение всех восьми дней Хануки в молитве Амида после благословения Модим ("Благодарим Тебя"), а также в Биркат аМазон после второго благословения (Нодэ леха).

For the miracles, deliverance, mighty deeds, salvation and victorious battles that You performed for our ancestors in those days at this season. In the days of Mattityahu son of Yochanan, the Hasmonean high priest, and his sons, when the wicked Greek kingdom rose against Your people Israel to make them forget Your Torah and turn them away from the decrees expressing Your will, You, in Your great compassion, stood beside them in their distress, fought their battle, judged their case and avenged them. You delivered the strong into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few, the impure into the hands of the pure, the wicked into the hands of the righteous, and the evildoers into the hands of those devoted to Your Torah. You glorified Your holy Name in Your world and brought great salvation and deliverance to Your people Israel on that day. Afterward Your children entered the sanctuary of Your house, removed the idols from Your hall, purified Your holy Temple and lit lamps in the courtyards of Your sanctuary. They established these eight days of Chanukah to give thanks and praise to Your great Name!	עַל הַנִּסִּים וְעַל הַפֻּרְקָן וְעַל הַגְּבוּרות וְעַל הַתְּשׁוּעות וְעַל הַמִּלְחָמות שֶׁעָשיתָ לַאֲבותֵינוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם בִּזְּמַן הַזֶּה: בִּימֵי מַתִּתְיָהוּ בֶּן יוחָנָן כּהֵן גָּדול חַשְׁמונַאִי וּבָנָיו. כְּשֶׁעָמְדָה מַלְכוּת יָוָן הָרְשָׁעָה עַל עַמְּךָ יִשרָאֵל לְהַשְׁכִּיחָם תּורָתֶךָ וּלְהַעֲבִירָם מֵחֻקֵּי רְצונֶךָ: וְאַתָּה בְּרַחֲמֶיךָ הָרַבִּים עָמַדְתָּ לָהֶם בְּעֵת צָרָתָם. רַבְתָּ אֶת רִיבָם. דַנְתָּ אֶת דִּינָם. נָקַמְתָּ אֶת נִקְמָתָם. מָסַרְתָּ גִבּורִים בְּיַד חַלָּשִׁים. וְרַבִּים בְּיַד מְעַטִּים. וּטְמֵאִים בְּיַד טְהורִים. וּרְשָׁעִים בְּיַד צַדִּיקִים. וְזֵדִים בְּיַד עוסְקֵי תורָתֶךָ. וּלְךָ עָשיתָ שֵׁם גָּדול וְקָדושׁ בְּעולָמֶךָ. וּלְעַמְּךָ יִשרָאֵל עָשיתָ תְּשׁוּעָה גְדולָה וּפֻרְקָן כְּהַיּום הַזֶּה: וְאַחַר כֵּן בָּאוּ בָנֶיךָ לִדְבִיר בֵּיתֶךָ. וּפִנּוּ אֶת הֵיכָלֶךָ. וְטִהֲרוּ אֶת מִקְדָּשֶׁךָ. וְהִדְלִיקוּ נֵרות בְּחַצְרות קָדְשֶׁךָ. וְקָבְעוּ שְׁמונַת יְמֵי חֲנֻכָּה אֵלּוּ. לְהודות וּלְהַלֵּל לְשִׁמְךָ הַגָּדול:	Al hanisim veal hapurkan veal hagvurot veal hatshuot veal hamilkhamot sheasita laavoteynu bayamim hahem bazman haze.
