Wake up grateful!
Modeh Ani art prints and prayer sets for everyday gratitude
The Modeh Ani prayer
To make space for God in our lives, we must start with gratitude. Modeh ani literally means “I give thanks.” Upon arising, we begin our day by thanking God for giving us another day of life. Modeh Ani is the stepping stone for everything that follows from the moment we wake up. Children are taught from the earliest age to sing the Modeh Ani prayer. We infuse our lives with meaning by acknowledging God’s merciful consistency in restoring our souls. Waking up to the gift of a new day of living can easily be taken for granted, but we know all too well that life itself is not a given.
The meaning behind the verse
I give thanks to you, loving and eternal king, for you have mercifully restored my soul within me. Your faithfulness is great.
Start the day with gratitude. Our Modeh Ani collection turns the first words a Jewish person says each morning into wall art worth waking up to - illustrated designs, a classic Hebrew & English text, and matching prayer sets, all giclée-printed on archival paper and ready to hang in a nursery, bedroom, or entryway.
Whether you're shopping for a baby naming, a bris, a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, a housewarming, or simply a daily reminder for your own home, there's a Modeh Ani print here sized and styled to fit.
FAQ
What Is Modeh Ani?
Modeh Ani ("I give thanks") is the first prayer recited each morning, immediately upon waking - a short, quiet acknowledgment of gratitude for the gift of another day. Children are often taught it as one of their very first prayers, and it remains a meaningful anchor for adults too: a moment of thanks before the day's noise begins.
Because it's recited daily, a Modeh Ani art print isn't just decorative - it becomes part of a routine, seen every morning by whoever it's given to. That makes it one of the most personal, lived-with pieces of Judaica you can gift.
What is the significance of Modeh Ani?
From a young age, we teach our children to say thank you. God wants us to show our thanks to Him by emulating Him. God is loving, and we love Him and act lovingly towards His creations. God is eternal, and we connect to eternity by worshipping Him. God is merciful, and we, too, show mercy towards others. God is faithful, reliably restoring our soul to us day after day. We strive to be consistent, showing up for those who depend on us, and fulfilling God’s will faithfully each day.
