PRAYERS FOR HEALING AND
WHOLENESS...
It is a tradition to say a Mi Shebeirah (the prayer that
asks the Eternal Source of Healing, based on the merit
of our ancestors, to grant a refu’ah shleimah—a return
to wholeness and healing) for anyone who is ailing or
who is in need of our support. Our tradition teaches
that as long as there is life, there is hope. It is
customary in our congregation to share the name of the
person for whom you would like this prayer to be said.
The words we sing together each Saturday morning are:

May the One who blesses all Life, bless and heal these
people who struggle against illness.
A PRAYER FOR ALL WHO ARE ILL...
May those afflicted with disease be blessed with faith,
courage, loving and caring.
May they know much support and sustenance from their
friend, their loving companions and their communities.
May they be granted a full and complete healing of the
body and soul.
May those who seek ways of healing through increased
medical knowledge and those who care for the sick daily
be blessed with courage, stamina and communal support.
May all, the sick and the well together, be granted
courage and hope. And let us say: Amen
THE TRADITION OF GIVING
In Jewish tradition, along with a prayer for healing of
the body and soul, it is customary to give tzedakah
(justice or charity) to increase the flow of kindness in
the world. If you would like to give a donation to
