When the words won't come - this book holds them for you.
Whether you are sitting in a hospital waiting room, standing at a loved one's bedside, or lying awake at three in the morning with a fear you cannot name - this book was written for that exact moment. Mi Sheberach: Jewish Prayers for Healing is a complete Jewish prayer companion for the sick, the suffering, the grieving, and everyone who loves them.
For thousands of years, the Mi Sheberach - May the One who blessed - has been the beating heart of Jewish healing prayer. This book places that ancient prayer in your hands in full, alongside dozens of other traditional and modern Jewish prayers that speak to every dimension of illness, loss, and recovery.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND INSIDE:
- The full Mi Sheberach in Ashkenazic, Sephardic & Debbie Friedman versions
- Seven complete healing Psalms with Hebrew, transliteration & English
- Prayers for surgery, chronic illness, depression, anxiety & trauma
- Prayers for caregivers, parents, spouses, siblings & whole families
- El Maleh Rachamim, Kaddish & prayers for grief and anticipatory loss
- Birkat HaGomel & prayers of gratitude and thanksgiving after recovery
- Jewish meditation practices, breathing exercises & daily kavanah
- A guided exercise to write your own personal Mi Sheberach
- Torah portions and Hasidic stories that speak directly to suffering and healing
- A full glossary of Hebrew terms, quick-reference prayer guide & recommended resources
DESIGNED FOR EVERY KIND OF JEWISH READER:
You do not need to be observant. You do not need to read Hebrew fluently. You do not even need to be certain in your faith. Every prayer in this book is presented in three layers - original Hebrew text, phonetic transliteration, and English translation - so that the prayers are fully accessible whether you are a lifelong davener or someone who has never opened a siddur. A clear pronunciation guide and glossary make the Hebrew approachable for absolute beginners.
This is also a book for those who are not sick themselves - for the exhausted caregiver, the frightened parent, the grieving spouse, the friend who does not know what to say but wants to do something. Entire chapters are devoted to prayers for those who love someone who is suffering.
PERFECT FOR:
Patients and families navigating illness - Jewish chaplains and spiritual care professionals - Rabbis seeking a resource for congregants in crisis - Synagogue gift and resource libraries - Anyone preparing for surgery or supporting a loved one through cancer, chronic illness, or mental health challenges - Shiva and mourning support - Jewish educators and adult learning programs
Mi Sheberach has been said for over eight hundred years. Every name that has ever been spoken inside that prayer, in synagogues from Babylon to Brooklyn, is somehow present in these pages. The tradition has been holding these words, in trust, until you needed them.
You need them now. They are here.
