I know I have said countless times that I am adding a name to our prayer of healing to be said at Friday night services at synagogue. I have my own list in addition to the congregational list and it includes all of the people I have met here at BCO and others I know who are in need.

it is called the mi'shebeirach prayer and the liturgy is beautiful as well. The second verse has a line that translates to "a full healing" and that is what I pray for all of us.

Mi Shebeirach

(Version of the traditional prayer for healing. The opening line can be translated as "May the One who blessed our fathers, the Source of Blessing for our mothers." In the second verse, "r'fuah sh'leima" means "a full healing.")

Mi Shebeirach avoteinu, M'kor hab'rachah 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 hab'rachah la'avoteinu.
Bless those in need of healing, with r'fuah sh'leima.
The renewal of body, the renewal of spirit.
And let us say - Amen.

(Words and music by Debbie Friedman)

Love and hugs,
Beth

    Patti, when I recite this prayer every Friday night, whether in synagogue or home, it gives a sense of well-being, that I am doing something for others. I am not an overly religious person but I do believe I need to have a dialogue with a higher power of some kind.

    Love and hugs,
    Beth

    Beth..I love Debbie Friedman's music. Her version of the prayer for the healing is lovely. Thanks for sharing that with all the ladies here.

    We have a different melody here, also beautiful, and I recall names of women from the boards as well...

    Be well.
