Mi Shebeirach - A Prayer of Healing

When my husband, Dan, almost died 5 1/2 years ago, I discovered the Mi Sheberach prayer. Debbie Friedman's version is one of the most popular of her songs. The Mi Sheberach is one of the central Jewish prayers for those who are ill or recovering from illness or accidents, but I realized last night, that my family needs healing too. No one is sick, but we need healing, nevertheless. I believe God can heal, so please pray for us and say the Mi Shebeirach for us.

Mi Sebeirach - Lyrics and Song by Debbie Friedman

Mi shebeirach avoteinu
M'kor hab'racha l'imoteinu
May the source of strength,
Who blessed the ones before us,
Help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing,
and let us say, Amen.

Mi shebeirach imoteinu
M'kor habrachah l'avoteinu

Bless those in need of healing with r'fuah sh'leimah,
The renewal of body, the renewal of spirit,
And let us say, Amen
