How do you give a blessing in Hebrew?

Question

I help out as a chaplain in a hospital. Although I know a little Hebrew, I would like to be able to give a blessing besides baruch atta. Please tell me (phonetically) how to say, "May the peace of the almighty rest upon you, and illuminate your soul"?

Thank you very much

Answer 1

"May the peace of the almighty rest upon you, and illuminate your soul"

In Hebrew:
מי יתן ושלוות הקדוש ברוך הוא תשרה עליך ותאיר את נשמתך

Transliteration:
Mi yiten ve'shalvat hakadosh baruch hu' tishreh 'aleyicha ve'ta'ir et nishmatcha.

(I changed the "almighty" to "hakadosh baruch hu'", which is a more common name of the lord in Hebrew. If you insist on "the almighty", "hakol yachol" would be it)

Answer 2

Well, Refua Shilaima means "Get healed", or your blessing is "Yeenach shalom Hakadosh baruch Hu Alecha v'ya-or nafshecha" (The ch is a gutteral, if you can't pronnounce it, say Yeenah shalom Hakadosh baruk Hu Aleka v'ya-or nafshecha). Also, G-d understands English.

As a chaplain, I think that you want to stick to Reform prayers. You are looking for "transliteration" of Hebrew. The actual Hebrew would be too hard to learn for a single prayer.
I don't know what prayer you have listed above. You could also call a rabbi at Reform synagogue and they'd be happy to help.
