“I praise YHVH with all my heart
in the assembled congregation of the upright.
The works of YHVH are great,
within reach of all who desire them.” (Psalms 111:1-2)
El who answers in times of distress and saves,
“Healer of broken hearts who binds their wounds” (Psalm 147:3),
Who shares divine wisdom with flesh and blood
and has given us understanding, science and discernment
to create this vaccine:
May it be your will
that through the power of this act
I will merit healing and saving lives of all the living,
and be able to fulfill the teaching,
“whoever saves a single life…
saves an entire world” (Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5)
as it is written “I am going to bring her healing and cure,
and I will cure them” (Jeremiah 33:6).
Blessed are you,
who brings healing to all flesh
and makes wondrous works.
This prayer, for those administering vaccinations, was offered by the Masorti Movement in Israel and the Knesset haRabanim b’Yisrael. It was shared on 27 December 2020 via the Open Siddur Project Discussion group on Facebook. The English translation was made by Shoshana Michael Zucker with editing by Aharon Varady.

Shoshana Michael Zucker (translation)
Shoshana Michael Zucker was first fascinated by the boundaries and history of Jewish liturgy as a teenager in NFTY in the early 1970s, the waning days of the Union Prayer Book. Since then, she has moved to Israel, raised a family and launched them into adulthood, while praying from varied siddurim with countless notes in the margin and extra notes stuck between the pages. A translator and editor by profession, she would rather study and teach Torah.
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.
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.
