Gelobt seist Du, Ewiger, unser Gott, Du herrschst über das Universum, und schenkst uns in schwierigen Zeiten Kraft und Mut. In diesen Tagen der Chemotherapie wende ich mich in Demut an Dich und bitte um Deine heilende Berührung, während die Medikamente durch meine Adern fließen. |
Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, Who grants strength and courage in times of difficulty. As I undergo chemotherapy, I offer this personal blessing: I stand before You, humbled and in need of Your presence. As the medications flow through my veins, I ask for Your healing touch to permeate every part of my being. |
Hilf mir, jeder Behandlung mit Widerstandskraft und Hoffnung zu begegnen. Gib mir inneren Frieden, wenn Unsicherheit und Angst mich überwältigen. |
Grant me the strength to face each treatment with resilience and hope. Help me find inner peace amidst the uncertainty and fear. |
Leite mein medizinisches Team mit Weisheit und Geschick, damit es die Behandlungen präzise und sorgfältig durchführen kann. |

In Momenten der Schwäche und des Unbehagens lass mich Deine tröstende Umarmung spüren. Schenke mir Geduld und Ausdauer, während ich mit den Nebenwirkungen umgehe, im Wissen, dass Du an meiner Seite bist und mir Kraft verleihst. |
In moments of weakness and discomfort, may I feel Your comforting embrace. Grant me patience and endurance as I navigate the side effects, knowing that You walk beside me, lending me strength. |

Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Who bestows healing upon the sick. I pray for Your mercy and grace to flow through the medications and treatments, bringing about the desired outcome. |
Hilf mir auf dieser herausfordernden Reise, die kleinen Siege und versteckten Segen zu erkennen, die im Kampf verborgen sind. Stärke meinen Glauben und erinnere mich daran, dass ich nie allein bin. |
In this challenging journey, help me discover the beauty in small victories and the blessings hidden within the struggle. Strengthen my faith and remind me that I am never alone. |
Mit Dankbarkeit in meinem Herzen danke ich Dir für das Geschenk des Lebens und die Möglichkeit, Heilung zu suchen. Möge diese Erfahrung meine Verbindung zu Dir und den Menschen um mich herum vertiefen. |

Gepriesen seist Du, Ewiger, unser Gott, Du segnest uns mit Widerstandskraft und Hoffnung. Möge diese Reise durch die Chemotherapie ein Sprungbrett zu neuer Gesundheit sein, ein Zeugnis für die Kraft des Glaubens und die Wunder Deiner heilenden Berührung. |
Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Who blesses us with resilience and hope. May this journey through chemotherapy be a stepping stone toward renewed health, a testament to the power of faith and the miracles of Your healing touch. |
This prayer for the wherewithal to endure chemotherapy was first offered by Rabbi Lior Bar-Ami sometime before May 2024. The prayer was offered in English with German translation, accompanied by a title in Hebrew, “תְּפִלָּה לְמִי שֶׁעוֹבֵר כִּימוֹתֶרַפְּיָה“.

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.
