הברכה

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא נפָשׁוֹת רַבּוֹת, וְחֶסְרוֹנָן עַל כָּל מַה שֶּׁבָּרָאתָ, לְהַחֲיוֹת בָּהֶם נֶפֶשׁ כָּל חָי, בָּרוּךְ חַי הָעוֹלָמִים.

Blessed are You, Hashem, our G-d, King of the universe, Who creates Many Souls, & their lackings on all that You created to give life to them – all living souls. Blessed is He Who lives Forever.
