Summary
“My friends, you are now a part of our people. I am overjoyed that you have made this decision and I know that we as a people will be strengthened by your wisdom and talent. I will bless you both with the ancient priestly blessing. Yivarechecha Adonai viyishmireacha. May God bless you and guard you. Ya’er Adonai panav elecha veechuneka. May God shine God’s countenance upon you and be gracious to you. Yeesa Adonai panav elecha viyasem lecha shalom. May God shine God’s countenance upon you and grant you peace.”
As Rav Noach finished chanting, the entire congregation erupted in cheers and singing. Their friends stood in the front row with tears in their eyes. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan returned to their seats, and before long, it was time to sing L’cha Dodi. As they had months before, they rose to welcome the Shabbat bride, mindful of the blessings this night had already brought them. With one voice this time, they sang. Enter in peace, crown of your husband; enter in gladness, enter in joy.
Seven months after their first trip to Eretz, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are ready to undergo conversion and be an Eretzi family, with the full support of their friends.
