יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְפָנַיִךְ
רוּחַ שְׁכִינָה
שֶׁתּוֹלִיכִי דְּרָכַי לְשָׁלוֹם
וְתַצְעִידִי רַגְלַי לְשָׁלוֹם
וְתַדְרִיכִי לִבִּי לְשָׁלוֹם
וְתַגִּיעִינִי לִמְחוֹז חֶפְצִי
לְחַיִּים וּלְשִׂמְחָה וּלְשָׁלוֹם
הַצִּילִינִי מֵרִפְיוֹן הָרוּחַ וּמִתְּשִׁישׁוּת הַגּוּף
וְהָפִיחִי כֹּחַ בְּפֹעַל יָדַי
תְּנִי בִּי לֵב רוֹאֵה־טוֹב בְּכָל אָדָם,
חָנֵּנִי בְּחֶסֶד וּבְרַחֲמִים לְחַזֵּק בַּהֶם אֶת שׁוּתָפַי וְאֶת עַצְמִי,
אַמְּצִי רוּחִי לְהַמְשִׁיךְ וּלְבַקֵּשׁ,
כִּי שׁוֹמַעַת אַתְּ קוֹל תַּחֲנוּן וְכָּל תְּפִלָּה
וִיהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנַיִךְ שֶׁיִתְקַיְּמוּ תְּפִלּוֹתַי

Demining in AfghanistanMembers of the Afghan National Army search a road for improvised explosive devices.
---A significant offensive operation, which takes the independence and self-sufficiency of British-trained Afghan forces to a new level, has begun in central Helmand.
As the new year was seen in around the world, Afghan troops were opening a new chapter which sets the scene for their future autonomy and long-term role in the defence of their nation against extremism and terror.Operation OMID PANJ (ÔHope FiveÕ in English) follows on from the successful Operation OMID CHAR which, at the time, was the largest operation in size, number of soldiers and duration to have been planned, led and conducted by the Afghan National Army.But OMID PANJ takes things a step further, with the Afghans relying on even less support from British troops, who are present only in a supporting role. One of the key areas where significant development of Afghan capability is being demonstrated is their growing ability to find and render safe improvised explosive devices, the indiscriminate weapon of choice for the insurgency.Being conducted in the Green Zone, north of the Helmand River, the operation is pushing the Afghan governmentÕs influence and security bubble further out. By the time of its conclusion, it will see a new patrol base established east of Gereshk between the River Helmand and the Bandi Barq Road. This rural area, filled with irrigation ditches, canals and small farm plots, interspersed with residential compounds, has suffered from significant insurgent intimidation due to its proximity to smuggling routes into Gereshk city.

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.
