Our transgressions not only damage our personal and national well-being, they also damage the fertility of the land. Therefore, we ask God to revitalize the productivity of the Land of Israel in preparation for our national renaissance as we return from the exile. Here, for the first time in the Amidah, we ask God to do something just for us. We ask Him to bless the year “on our behalf” with no mention of a benefit to Him (such as “for Your name’s sake”). Also, for the first time in our requests, we address God as YHVH Eloheinu. The Divine name YHVH reminds us that God is the Ultimate Timeless Reality. Eloheinu, however, tells us that He is our personal God and He cares about us. These textual nuances reflect a significant increase in our experience of self-worth and God’s love for us. Bless on our behalf, YHVH Eloheinu, this year and all its various produce for good, but only if it will bring us true goodness. Let not prosperity corrupt us and lead us away from You. And bestow blessing [or dew and rain as a blessing] upon the face of the earth. But again, only if it will lead us to true abundance so that we may be sated with Your goodness. Only when we experience our prosperity as Your goodness, as Your loving gift to us, will it truly satiate us, otherwise it will be a curse. And bless our year like the good years. Blessed are You … O how bountiful and abundantly present You are in our lives. O what an ever-flowing wellspring of blessings You are to us, YHVH, Timeless Ultimate Reality, who constantly blesses the years. The more we believe that prosperity is always and only coming from God, and the more we sincerely want it to lead us back to God, the more blessings of prosperity penetrate our lives to inspire national teshuvah, bringing us to full redemption.
