1) "Everybody loves this scene from "Fiddler on the Roof": The townspeople acknowledge that in Judaism, there exists a blessing for everything, and then they wonder, 'Rabbi, is there a proper blessing for the Czar?' He thinks for a moment, then, comes up with the answer: 'May God bless and keep the Czar... far away from us!' " 2) "May the One who gives power to kings, and sovereignty to princes; may the One who is the Ruler of rulers... bless and keep, guard and aid, exalt and raise the Czar Nicholas Alexanderovich, and his widowed mother, Czarina Marie Feodorovna [here, my knowledge of the Russian monarchy is a little weak], and his wife the royal Czarina Alexandra Feodorovna, and their heir, Grigory... May God save them from all harm and pain, and may all their enemies fall before them. And may the Merciful One put in the heart of the Czar compassion and good deeds for the People of Israel..."
