At times like this many people live in fear – fear of being attacked or maligned, physical, mental or emotional. Hatred is not new to the Jewish people, but traditionally it was considered “just the way it is.” As Americans, we should believe better. The midrash (Devarim Rabbah 5:10) says that hateful speech kills three – the speaker, the listener, and the subject. This Mi Sheberakh was written as a prayer for all those of every people and nation that are affected by hatred and bigotry. . . . ![]() Shared on י״ג בסיון ה׳תשע״ב (2012-06-03) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() May the Lord give our soldiers wisdom, understanding, and insight, so that they do not destroy the righteous with the wicked, as it is written in Your Torah: “Far be it from you to do such a thing, to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating them the same. Far be it from you – should the Judge of all the Earth not do justice?” (Genesis 18:25) . . . ![]() Shared on כ״ה באב ה׳תשע״ג (2013-08-01) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() Shared on ח׳ בתמוז ה׳תשע״ח (2018-06-20) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() The names of our ancestors reflect the diverse tapestry of experiences and cultures they encountered including the names of those who joined our families from neighboring people and regional societies. In giving and receiving Hebrew names, we honor the names of all our ancestors whose “names may be remembered for a blessing” (zekher livrakha). Of the ancestors mentioned in the mi sheberakh (“May the one who blessed our forefathers and foremothers…”), I wanted to make certain to include Mordekhai and Esther, names of figures distinguished in their being both native to their Diasporan roots (Marduk and Ishtar), as well as elevated by the heroic, brave action of their namesakes. If there are figures from the Tanakh that are important to you, that are a kesher (connection) between you and the identity contained within our stories, then please feel free to include them in your mi sheberakh. –Aharon Nissn ben Adrienne & David (ﬡַﬣֲﬧֹן ניסן בֶּן עײﬢﬧען וְﬢַוִﬢ) . . . ![]() Shared on י״ט בסיון ה׳תשע״ד (2014-06-16) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() Shared on ד׳ באלול ה׳תשע״ח (2018-08-15) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() Shared on י״ב באייר ה׳תשע״ג (2013-04-21) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() Shared on ג׳ באלול ה׳תשע״ט (2019-09-03) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() Shared on ג׳ באלול ה׳תשע״ט (2019-09-03) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() Shared on כ״א באב ה׳תשע״ט (2019-08-22) — under the following terms: Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ | Mi sheBerakh Upon Completing the Writing of a Sefer Torah, by Rabbi Menachem Creditor![]() Shared on כ״א במרחשון ה׳תשע״ג (2012-11-05) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() Shared on כ׳ במרחשון ה׳תשע״ח (2017-11-09) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) 4.0 International free-culture license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() A Mi Sheberakh prayer for those affected by natural disasters. This prayer uses many standard liturgical phrases in a new context to stress that God, while full of great power, is not a God of destruction but one of peace and life. Quoting the famous vision of Elijah at Ḥorev, this prayer is for those who seek comfort and tranquility from their God. . . . ![]() Shared on ז׳ בניסן ה׳תשע״א (2011-04-11) — under the following terms: Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() We are grateful to Rabbi Joshua Boettinger and Rabbis for Human Rights–North America (RHR-NA) for sharing the following petitionary prayer, A Misheberakh for Victims of Slavery. Originally published by RHR-NA on their website in 2009, the prayer attends to the desperate need to eradicate all forms of slavery that persist today, especially in advance of the holiday celebrating our Z’man Cheruteinu, the season of our freedom, every Spring, every Pesaḥ. . . . |
