Healing

We invite you to send us the name(s) of loved ones who are facing the challenge of illness so that we may support them, and you by inclusion in our communal Mi Shebeirach prayers.

The Mi Shebeirach prayer is one of the central Jewish prayers for those who are facing the challenge of illness. The prayer includes pleas for both physical and spiritual healing within the community of others facing illness. Traditionally, the Mi Shebeirach is said in synagogue when the Torah is read. In modern times, the Mi Shebeirach is often said by
professional health caregivers, patients and loved ones at various times during treatment and recovery from illness of all sorts.
