עלינו ועל כל ישראל עמך
UPON US AND UPON ALL OF YISROEL YOUR PEOPLE

“Upon us” means upon ourselves and those of our own kehillah that are present, for they are the first for whom we must pray. After our own congregation, we include “all of Yisroel”, every man, woman and child without exception, that they be blessed with Shalom and all of its subdivisions, for they are “Amcha”, “Your People” (from “imcha”, with You), who serve You and are loyal to Your Torah forever.
