מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב, וְאִמּוֹתֵינוּ שָׂרָה רִבְקָה רָחֵל וְלֵאָה, וְרִפֵּא אֶת מִרְיָם הַנְּבִיאָה וְחִזְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה וְנַעֲמָן שַׂר־צְבָא אֲרָם וּמֵי מָרָה וְסִיר אֱלִישָׁע – הוּא יְבָרֵךְ וְיִשְׁמֹר וִיחַזֵּק וְיַעְזֵר אֶת הַחוֹבְשִׁים וְאֶת הָאֲחָיוֹת וְאֶת הָרוֹפְאִים וְאֶת כׇּל הַפּוֹעֲלִים בִּתְחוּם הָרְפוּאָה וְהַטִּפּוּל הַמְּחָרְפִים נַפְשָׁם לְהַצָּלַת חַיֵּי בְּרִיּוֹתָיו בְּעָמְדָם בֵּין הַמֵּתִים וּבֵין הַחַיִּים (לפי במדבר יז:יג) לַעֲצֹר אֶת הַמַּגֵּפָה. |
May the One who blessed our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah; who healed Miriam the Prophet,[1] Numbers 12 Hezekiah King of Judah,[2] 2 Kings 2:20. Naaman the Aramean General,[3] 2 Kings 2:5. and the waters of Marah[4] Exodus 15 and Elisha’s pottage;[5] 2 Kings 2:4. bless, guard, strengthen, and embolden the emergency responders, the nurses, and the doctors, and all those who work in the field of medicine and treatment who risk their lives to save the lives of human beings, Gd’s creations, standing between the living and the dead[6] cf. Numbers 17:13. to stop the plague. |
אֱ־לֹהִים לָנוּ מַחֲסֶה וָעֹז עֶזְרָה בְצָרוֹת נִמְצָא מְאֹד (תהלים מו:ב) רְפָאֵנוּ ה׳ וְנֵרָפֵא, הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ וְנִוָּשֵׁעָה, כִּי תְהִלָּתֵנוּ אַתָּה. (לפי ירמיה יז:יד) | |
כְּשֵׁם שֶׁלִּמַּדְתָּ אֶת מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּנוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת נְחַשׁ הַנְּחֹשֶׁת, וְאֶת אַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֵן לְהַקְטִיר קְטֹרֶת לְפָנֶיךָ, אָנָּא אֵ־ל נָא תֵּן נָא חָכְמָה (לפי במדבר יב:יג) בְּלֶב כׇּל הַמַּדְּעָנִים וְהַחוֹקְרִים לִמְצֹא תְּרוּפָה לַמַּכָּה וְהַנַּח נָא רוּחַ חֶסֶד וְרַחֲמִים עַל כׇּל מַנְהִיגֵי הַמְּדִינוֹת לִשְׁמֹר אֶת שְׁלוֹם הָאֲרָצוֹת וּבְרִיאוּת הָעַמִּים שֶׁנִּזְכֶּה וְנִרְאֶה כֻּלָּנוּ אוֹתוֹ יוֹם בּוֹ כׇּל יוֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל יִשְׁכְּנוּ לָבֶטַח וּמָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ דֵּעָה אֶת ה׳ כַּמַּיִם לַיָּם מְכַסִּים (ישעיה יא:ט) כִּי טוֹב אַתָּה לַכֹּל וְרַחֲמֶיךָ עַל כׇּל מַעֲשֶׂיךָ (לפי תהלים קמה:ט) רוֹפֵא חוֹלֵי כׇּל בָּשָׂר אַתָּה וּמַפְלִיא לַעֲשׂוֹת. |
Just as you taught Moses our Teacher to craft the bronze serpent,[9] Numbers 21 and Aaron the Priest to offer incense before you,[10] Numbers 17 please, God, please, grant, please, wisdom[11] cf. Numbers 12:13. in the hearts and minds of all the scientists and researchers to find a remedy for this plague, and please, bestow a spirit of loyalty and compassion upon the leaders of all states to preserve the peace of nations and the health of peoples – so that all of us may merit to behold that day when all inhabitants of the Earth will dwell in safety, and the Earth will be full of the knowledge of Hashem as water fills the seas.[12] Isaiah 11:9. For You are good to all, and have compassion on all Your handiwork;[13] cf. Psalms 145:9. You heal the sick of all flesh, performing wonders. |
כֵּן יְהִי רָצוֹן וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן׃ |
May such be Your will, and let us say, amein. |

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.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." –Psalms 90:17
Amen!!
