Rokhl M’vako al Boneho is a compilation of Jewish women’s prayers in Yiddish published in Vilna in 1910, with prayers attributed to Rokhl Esther bat Aviḥayil, a Jewish woman living in Jerusalem. The phrase “Rokhl M’vako al Boneho” is from Jeremiah 31:15.

This digital scan of Rokhl M’vako al Boneho was prepared by Aharon Varady from a copy held in the collection of the Klau Library (HUC) in Cincinnati, Ohio. The scan was made in order to create faithful transcriptons and translations with direct reference to the original work.

A selection of 13 prayers appearing here were transcribed and translated by Rabbi Tracy Guren Klirs for her dissertation, later published as בזכות אמהות The Merit of Our Mothers: A Bilingual Anthology of Jewish Women’s Prayers, Cincinnati: Hebrew Union College Press, 1992.
