תפילה נוכח הרעה מדרום	Prayer in the face of the worsening situation in southern Israel
מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב, וְאִמּוֹתֵינוּ שָׂרָה רִבְקָה לֵאָה וְרָחֵל, הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת תּוֹשְׁבֵי מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל הַחַיִּים תַּחַת הָאִיּוּם הַמַּתְמִיד שֶׁל טִילֵי הֶרֶס וּמָוֶת.	May the One who blessed our forefathers: Avraham, Yitsḥaḳ, and Yaaḳov and our foremothers: Sarah, Rivḳah, Leah, and Raḥel bless the inhabitants of the State of Israel who live under the daily threat of missiles of death and destruction.
הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא יְחַזֵּק אֶת לִבָּם וְאֶת כֹּשֶׁר עֲמִידָתָם בְּעֵת מַשְׁבֵּר, עַד יַעֲבֹר זַעַם.	May the blessed Holy One, strengthen their hearts and reinforce their resilience at this time of crisis until the wrath passes.
יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלִּפְנֵי יוֹשֵׁב בַּמְּרוֹמִים שֶׁיִּתֵּן עֵצָה טוֹבָה בְּלֵב כׇּל קְבַרְנִיטֵי הַמְּדִינָה, שֶׁיֵּדְעוּ לְנַהֵל אֶת מִלְחֶמֶת הָעָם בְּתוּשִׁיָּה, בַּהֲבָנָה וּבְחָכְמָה.	May it be the will of the One who resides in the Heights to give good counsel to the mind of all the leaders of the State that they know to conduct the people’s war with resourcefulness, with discernment and wisdom.
ה׳ צְבָאוֹת, אֱלֹהֵי מַעַרְכוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל, שְׁמֹר נָא עַל חַיָּלֵי צְבָא הַהֲגָנָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הָעוֹמְדִים בַּמַּעֲרָכָה בַּיַּבָּשָׁה, בָּאֲוִיר וּבַיָּם, בַּחֲזִית וּבָעֹרֶף, וְעַל כׇּל כֹּחוֹת הַבִּטָּחוֹן וְהַהַצָּלָה.	YHVH Tsevaot, elo’ah of the ranks of Israel, please protect the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces who are involved in this campaign, on land, in the air, and at sea, on the battlefront and the homefront and all the security and rescue forces.
הַצִּילֵם אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִכׇּל צָרָה וְצוּקָה וּמִכׇּל פֶּגַע רַע, וּשְׁלַח בְּרָכָה וְהַצְלָחָה בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יְדֵיהֵם׃ צֵאתָם לְשָׁלוֹם וְשׁוּבָם לְבָתֵּיהֶם לְחַיִּים וּלְשָׁלוֹם.	Save them, our elo’ah, from every trouble and malevolent design, and deliver blessing and success to the striving of their hands. May they go out in peace and return to their homes alive and whole.
אָבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם, שִׂים שָׁלוֹם בָּאָרֶץ וְשִׂמְחַת עוֹלָם לְכׇל יוֹשְׁבֶיהָ, וִיקֻיַּם בָּנוּ בִּמְהֵרָה בְיָמֵינוּ מִקְרָא שֶׁכָּתוּב: ”וְיָשְׁבוּ אִישׁ תַּחַת גַּפְנוֹ וְתַחַת תְּאֵנָתוֹ וְאֵין מַחֲרִיד, כִּי פִי ה׳ צְבָאוֹת דִּבֵּר“. (מיכה ד:ד)	Our Guardian in Heaven, bring peace to the Land and endless joy to its inhabitants and fulfill for them, speedily in our days, what is written in Scripture: “But every person shall sit under their grapevine or fig tree with no one to disturb them. For it was as YHVH Tsevaot decreed.”^[1] Micah 4:4.
וְכֵן יְהִי רָצוֹן, וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן.	May it be your will and let us say, Amen.

This prayer for the success of the Israeli Defense Forces and the safety of all the inhabitants of the Land of Israel offered by the Masorti Movement in Israel during the November 12th, 2019 Tel Aviv rocket strike.

Masorti Movement in Israel

HaTenu'ah haMasortit (התנועה המסורתית, the Masorti Movement in Israel) creates opportunities for all Jews to live Jewish lives in Israel unhindered, and on their own terms. It is a religious movement based on values of inclusion combined with traditional practice and Halakha (Jewish Law). Masorti represents a “third” way. Not secular Judaism. Not ultra-Orthodoxy. But a Jewish life that integrates secular beliefs. Halakhah with inclusion and egalitarianism. Tradition that recognizes the realities of today’s world. The Masorti Movement is committed to a pluralistic, egalitarian, and democratic vision of Zionism. Masorti engages tens of thousands of Israelis each year, young and old, native born as well as olim from around the globe.

Knesset haRabanim b'Yisrael

The Knesset haRabanim b'Yisrael (Rabbinical Assembly in Israel) is the central body of Masorti-affiliated rabbis in the State of Israel. It is closely associated with the Masorti Movement for Conservative Judaism in Israel, and the international Rabbinical Assembly.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of contributors, patrons, or institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
