Dear God, after all the loss, the distance, the sadness, the aloneness, Give me life. Grant me back Your world. Please. Give my children reason for hope. Please. Please. | |
Holy Healing One, May the vaccine I’m about to receive be a sign that healing is arriving once again in our world, for all Your worried children. | |
May my body’s temporary discomfort sensitize me to the needs of this fragile world that remain invisible to the eye. | |
May my body’s pent-up tension, held back during an unfathomable year of constriction and stress, be channeled in a healthy way for those around me. | |
May the scientists and doctors and nurses who have served as your angels and saved our world be granted restoration of soul and healing of mind. | |
I pledge before You, Source of All, to do as much good as I can as long as my soul is within me. | |
May I be granted a life filled by the honor of serving You by serving others. | |
Thank You. Goodness. Thank You. Healing. Thank You. Life. | |
Amen. |

- 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.
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
