Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): This is an original qinah written in response to the attack of October 7. Since the attack occurred on Simḥat Torah, this text is designed to follow the structure of the haqafot recited on Simḥat Torah. But it’s meant to be read on Tisha b’Av, or at least on another fast day. This is a prayer for reading the news, composed at the request of Rabbi Ariana Katz of Hinenu (Baltimore, Maryland). It is written in Hebrew, English, and Yiddish.

In preparation for the coming days of Remembrance, which are the days of longing and questions about the meaning of life on this planet and the meaning of its end, I share in a prayer I wrote at the request of Nikki, a member of our family, who lost her only sister, Andy, to Alzheimer’s disease at such a young age (58). We also translated this prayer into English and it was recited in Melbourne, Australia, at a funeral service. During the shiva, the community rabbi asked for permission to recite it at more funerals, and since then it has been repeated and I am happy that it comforts more and more families. I am releasing it here in Israel as well and dedicating it to all the good souls who decided to watch over us from another dimension, and to the loving relatives who are left to miss and fix the world from within. –Limor Rubin This mi sheberakh by Rabbi David Seidenberg, for the safety and safe return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia detained by the United States government and deported “in error” to captivity under dangerous and vulnerable conditions in El Salvador, was first shared on his Facebook page on 10 April 2025. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., Deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Donald Trump, English vernacular prayer, מי שברך mi sheberakh Contributor(s): An original set of weekday yotsrot, in the style of those found in the Cairo Geniza (and compiled at Weekday Yotzrot, thanks to the work of Dr. Avi Shmidman), for Yom ha-Atsma’ut. The weekday yotsrot of the Cairo Geniza have a structure quite different from normative Ashkenazi festival yotsrot, and much closer to that of Ashkenazi maaravot. There are no yotser or ofan piyyutim — each blessing has a stanza of an extended, unified poem before its ḥatimah, and the only stanzas inserted into the guf ha-berakha are in the final blessing, surrounding the Mi Khamokha. They’re also generally much shorter and more user-friendly than the complex and intricate mysticism of Ashkenazi festival yotsrot. This cycle is written in an alphabetical acrostic, followed by the author tag “Yitzḥaq Harel son of Avraham the Kohen and Ya’el, be strong and courageous, amen.” Each stanza begins with a different word from Isaiah 47:4, and ends with a citation of a different relevant verse. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., acrostic, Acrostic signature, Alphabetic Acrostic, מדינת ישראל Medinat Yisrael, פיוטים piyyuṭim, יוצרות yotsrot Contributor(s): “A Prayer for Yom Hazikaron and Yom ha-Atsma’ut 5785” (2025) was prepared by Rabbi Tzachi Lehman in advance of the State of Israel’s days of remembrance and declaration of independence and published by Tzohar on its website on 23 April 2025. This Al ha-Nisim (addition to the Amidah) prayer for May the 4th, marks the success of the Rebel Alliance in defeating the Galactic Empire.
