יְבָרֶכְךָ ה' וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ

יִשָּׂא ה' פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם. pic.twitter.com/ISij7TgvPC— Naftali Bennett נפתלי בנט (@naftalibennett) June 13, 2021
He quotes from the priestly benediction: “May God bless thee, and keep thee; may God make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee; may God lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”
