וברך שנתנו כשנים הטובות

וברך שנתנו כשנים הטובות
AND BLESS OUR YEAR LIKE THE GOOD YEARS

Picture in your mind’s eye the ‘good years’ of old, years that we ourselves remember, or years that our fathers related to us. Recall the way Chazal described the fruits of Ginnosar, and Eretz Yisroel, flowing with milk and honey. When we picture that which we are requesting, we gain a sensory Awareness of the true kindliness of Hashem, just as it was in the ‘good years’ of old.
