Gebet für den Verstorbenen, nachdem man Ẓiduḳ hadin gesagt hat.	Prayer for the deceased after saying “Tsiduq hadin.”
Es sei dir wohlgefällig, Ewiger, Gott aller Seelen, daß du die Seele des (der Name des eben Beerdigten) mit Liebe aufnehmest.	May it be pleasing to you, Eternal One, God of all souls, that you receive the soul of (the name of the one who has just been buried) with love.
Sende ihm Engel deiner Güte entgegen, seine Seele nach dem Eden zu leiten, wie du einst unserem Urvater Jakob gesendet hast. So heißt es in der Schrift: „Und Jakob reisete seines Weges, da begegneten ihm Engel des Himmels. Und als Jakob sie sah, sprach er: das ist eine göttliche Schaar, und nannte den Namen des Ortes Machnaim.” (1 Mose 32, 2-3)	Send to him angels of your goodness to guide his soul to Eden, as you once sent to our forefather Yaaqov. Thus it says in the Scripture: “And Yaaqov was traveling on his way, when angels of heaven met him. And when Yaaqov saw them, he said, ‘This is a divine host,’ and called the name of the place Maḥanaim.” (Genesis 32:2-3)
Möge sich an ihm bestätigen was die Schrift lehrt: „Die auf Gott hoffen, gewinnen neue Kräfte, erheben wie Adler ihren Flug, laufen ohne zu ermüden, gehen ohne zu ermatten.” (Jesaja 40, 31)	May it be confirmed in him what the Scriptures teach: “Those who hope in God gain new strength, lift up their flight like eagles, run without tiring, walk without growing weary.” (Isaiah 40:31)
Verfahre mit ihm nach deiner unendlichen Barmherzigkeit; erfreue seine Seele mit dem unendlichen Gute, das den Frommen aufbewahrt ist; seine Seele bleibe im Bunde der Lebenden, mit den Seelen aller, die hier im Staube schlafen, mit den Seelen aller frommen Männer und Frauen in den Gefilden der Seeligkeit. Amen.	Deal with him according to your infinite mercy; gladden his soul with the infinite good stored up for the pious; let his soul abide in the union of the living, with the souls of all who sleep here in the dust, with the souls of all pious men and women in the realms of bliss. Amen.

“Gebet für den Verstorbenen, nachdem man Ziduk hadin gesagt hat” was translated/adapted by Yehoshua Heshil Miro and published in his anthology of teḥinot, בית יעקב (Beit Yaaqov) Allgemeines Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauen mosaischer Religion.

Yehoshua Heshil Miro

Yehoshua Heshil ben Rabbi Binyamin Miro (fl. first-half 19th c.) was a writer and Jewish educator in Prussia, an early advocate and teacher of Jewish girls. He worked as a professor at a private school, and a teacher at the Königliche Wilhelms-Schule (and possibly also the Industrial School for Israelite Girls), in then Prussian Breslau. We know very little else about Miro aside from his publication of a popular anthology of teḥinot for German speaking women first published in 1829. If you know more about Miro, please contact us.

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 contributors, patrons, or 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.

Support this work: 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.
