תפילה לתורם דם | The Blood Donor’s Prayer, by Elli Fischer

Contributed on: 20 Sep 2014 by Elli Fischer |

A prayer to be recited upon donating blood. In Israel, there are major blood drives around the times of Rosh Hashana and Pesaḥ, so the prayer borrows themes from both of those holidays. It emphasizes both the tzedaka aspect of blood donation and the ancient symbolic resonances of blood sacrifice. . . .
