Blessing of Kibbutz Galuyot
The Jewish rabbinical sages, Chazal, authored a special blessing, the "Kibbutz Galuyot Blessing", within the Shmona Esre prayer, one of prayers in the Amidah prayer, the central prayer of the Jewish liturgy, the Sidur. It is one of the thirteen blessing of appeal in the Shmona Esre prayer, and the earliest wherein an appeal is made that concerns subjects relating to Jewish Nationality and restoring the existence of the Hebrew nation as an Independent Nation, along with Birkat HaDin ("Blessing of Justice"), Bo'ne Yerushalayim ("Builder of Jerusalem"), and Birkat David ("Blessing of David").
