Prayers for Healing

We invite you to send Rabbi Dantowitz  rabbi@emeth.net  the name(s) of loved ones who are facing the challenge of illness, that we may support them, and you, by inclusion in our communal Mi Shebeirach prayers.

Mi Shebeirach

The Mi Shebeirach prayer is one of the central Jewish prayers for those who are facing the challenge of illness. The pray includes pleas for both physical and spiritual healing within the community of others facing illness. Traditionally, the Mi Shebeirach is said in synagogue when the Torah is read. In modern times, the Mi Shebeirach is often said by professional health caregivers, patients, and loved ones at various times during treatment and recovery from illness of all sort.

Mi shebeirach avoteinu 
M'kor hab'racha l'imoteinu 
May the Source of strength, 
Who blessed the ones before us, 
Help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing, 
and let us say, Amen.
 
Mi shebeirach imoteinu 

M'kor habrachah l'avoteinu 
Bless those in need of healing with r'fuah sh'leimah, 
The renewal of body, the renewal of spirit, 
And let us say, Amen

At Congregation Emeth, we sing the above version of the Mi Shebeirach, words and music by Debbie Friedman
