Misheberach List

–A Prayer for Healing

Jewish tradition teaches that whenever the Torah is read we are granted a special and uniquely opportune moment to invoke blessing for those in need of divine intervention. From time immemorial it has therefore been the custom to recite a “Misheberach ” (the first word of the traditional paragraph meaning, “the one who blessed”) on behalf of people who are ill requesting “refuah shleimah” — full healing on their behalf.


May the one who blessed our ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, bring blessing and healing to those we remember today. May the Holy One mercifully restore them to health and vigor, granting them spiritual and physical well-being, together with all others who are ill, and may God grant strength to those who tend to them. We hope and pray that healing is at hand. And let us say, AMEN!
