רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם מַלֵּא מִשְׁאֲלוֹת לִבִּינוּ לְטוֹבָה וְהָפֵק רְצוֹנִינוּ וְתֵן שְׁאֵלָתִינוּ. וְזַכֵּה לִנוּ וְכָל בְּנֵי בֵיתִינוּ לַעֲשוֹת רְצוֹנְךָ בְּלֵבָב שָׁלֵם. וּמַלְּטֵנוּ מִיֵּצֶר הָרָע וְתֵן חֶלְקֵנוּ בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ. וְזַכֵּנוּ שֶׁתִּשְׁרֶה שְׁכִינָתְךָ עָלֵינוּ. וְהוֹפַע עָלֵינוּ רוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה. וְיִתְקַיֵּם בָּנוּ מִקְרָא שֶׁכָּתוּב וְנָחָה עָלָיו רוּחַ ה’ רוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה רוּחַ עֵצָה וּגְבוּרָה רוּחַ דַּעַת וְיִרְאַת ה’:‏
וּבְכֵן יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ ה’ אֱלהֵינוּ וֵאלהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ. שֶׁתְּזַכֵּנוּ לַעֲשוֹת מַעֲשים טוֹבִים בְּעֵינֶיךָ וְלָלֶכֶת בְּדַרְכֵי יְשָׁרִים לְפָנֶיךָ. וְקַדְּשֵׁנוּ בִּקְדֻשָׁתֶךָ כְּדֵי שֶׁנִּזְכֶּה לְחַיִּים טוֹבִים וַאֲרוּכִּים וּלְחַיֵּי הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא. וְתִשְׁמְרֵנוּ מִמַּעֲשּים רָעִים וּמִשָׁעוֹת רָעוֹת הַמִתְרַגְשׁות לָבא לְעוֹלָם. וְהַבּוֹטֵחַ בה’ חֶסֶד יְסוֹבְבֶנְּהוּ אָמֵן:‏
וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּתִי לְךָ ה’ עֵת רָצוֹן אֱלֹהִים בְּרָב חַסְדֶּךָ עֲנֵנִי בֶּאֱמֶת יִשְׁעֶךָ.‏^[1] Psalms 69:14

This prayer is based on the personal prayer said on holidays before Torah reading. The grammar has been adapted as plural rather than singular, so that the couple says the prayer together before their ritual of Kiddushin (betrothal).

תפילה לפני חלוקת תרופות | Prayer before the dispensation of medication, by Dafna Meir, z”l

"Me and my new hair" -- For some people, losing their hair during chemotherapy is traumatic. For me, it wasn't. My head itched, it was cold, but aside from those factors, I didn't really care. I just wrapped my head in hats and scarves and forgot about it most of the time. However, I thought I should buy a wig for those events when I just wanted to blend in and not call attention to my status as a cancer patient. So I bought one. I sent this picture to my brother, to give him a heads-up as to what I looked like now, and he responded, "You look like a Zen monk." He saw bald women all the time, and they were healthy ones. This reminded me that many people shave their heads by choice. (Liz West CC BY)

Associated Image:

Blue and white synagogue tile decorated with Moorish arch and floral motif and inscribed with the Hebrew word אתה “atah” (you), Morocco, 18th century. This tile is most likely from one of the four imperial cities: Fez, Meknes, Marrakesh, or Rabat. Original record notes that this tile came from a Moroccan synagogue. Possibly from the formula “barukh atah bevo’echa uvarukh ata btsetekha” (ברוך אתה בבואך וברוך אתה בצאתך), Deuteronomy 28:6; cf. tiled inscriptions in Lazama synagogue, Marrakech. (From the Magnes Museum collection, Tile [77-275].)

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.
