May you go off to college in peace,
May it be a time of growth, learning and wisdom,
A time of new friendships, adventure and fun.
And through it all, may God bless you and protect You.
Amid this time of hatred and division on campus
May you always be proud to be a Jew, connected to your People and your faith.
Know that you are strong, thoughtful and courageous,
Trust in yourself,
And remember you are never alone.
Turn to friends who will support you,
Mentors who will teach and guide you
And remember I am always here for you.
May God bless the path you take,
May all your efforts lead to success,
May your studies never cease.
May any challenges you face strengthen your character and your determination.
May God bless your body with health and your soul with joy,
May God watch over you night and day and shield you from all harm.
May all your prayers be answered,
Amen.
