I'm Jewish and I say BRAVO. She worked hard and if she wants to thank G-d in her way, then please, she's earned the right. I cannot imagine any parent begruding. She has faith, that and a 4.7 GPA are to be admired.

Bless you! You're on the right track.

Barukh atah Adonai Elohaynu melekh ha-olam, borei p’riy ha-gafen. (Amein)

Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the Universe, who creates the fruit of the vine. (Amen)

I'll give my own translation of the Hebrew prayer to timsbella, one that she's heard me use in other forums! :)

Timsbella, God bless you real good for what you wrote!
