Yom haMabul (Day of the Flood, 17 Iyyar, Lev ba-Omer)

This is an archive of prayers composed for, or relevant to, יום המבול (Yom haMabul, the Day of the Flood) beginning on the 17th of Iyyar (“the 17th day of the second month” in Genesis 7:11), the 32nd day of the Omer ל״ב בעומר (Lev ba-Omer, the “heart” of the Omer). According to the mythic-history related in the Torah and other parabiblical traditions, on that day began a major cataclysm which brought an end to a period of violent depravity known as the דור המבול (Dor haMabul, the generation [lost to] the Flood).

The views expressed on this page and in these shared works represents the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of volunteer contributors, or its 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-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.
