Q:
What blessing should you bless girls on Friday night?
A:
You bless them they should be like our mothers, like Sarah, Rivka, Rochel and Leah. You can’t find any better blessing than that.
If you want to add, nobody is limited. You can add whatever you want. Don’t be ashamed to add words when you give blessings. If they’re unmarried bless them they should get good husbands, talmidei chachamim. And you can bless them they should have many children. And you can bless them also they should be rich. No harm. I remember my father-in-law zichrono levrachah used to add to all the blessings “and you should be rich too.” He said “Why not?”
