Avinu she-ba-shamayim, our Parent in heaven, v’Ruaḥ kol basar, the Spirit of all that lives, We turn toward You as we recall today with sorrow and honor those who lost their lives 10 years ago, and those who gave their lives – as passengers, firemen, and rescuers – so that others might live. Grant their souls continuing rest in the shelter of eternity. | |
And grant to us peace and fortitude in the years ahead, that we may restore a sense of trust and security to this great land, that we may be guided not by fear or terror, but by strength and understanding, holding fast to our ideals and upholding our highest values. | |
וּשְׁמֹר צֵאתֵנוּ וּבוֹאֵנוּ לְחַיִּים וּלְשָׁלוֹם מֵעַתָּה וְעַד עוֹלָם׃ |
U-shmor tseiteinu u-vo’ainu l’ḥayim u-l’shalom, mei-ata v’ad olam. Guard our comings and our goings in peace, now and always,[1] From the prayer, Hashkiveinu, containing the blessing, “shomer amo yisrael la’ad,” recited after the Sh’ma during Ma’ariv. |
אָמֵן׃ |
Amen. |
Rabbi Gilah Langner’s prayer for September 11, 2001 (כ״ג בְּאֱלוּל תשס״א) was originally published by Rabbis for Human Rights–North America (now T’ruah), at their website.

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 volunteer contributors, or its 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.

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, 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.
