Makor Refuah – Source of Healing, send blessings
to those grievously injured in body and spirit:
heal their trauma, grant them comfort and consolation
from the wells of your boundless compassion;
help them, support them, guide them through
this terrifying time of pain and fear and loss;
remind them that they are all created in your image –
that no state, no government, no military, no weapon
can ever rob them of their essential humanity.
Ruach Ha’olam – Spirit of the Universe, inspire us
to bear witness against the overwhelming harm
being unleashed against a captive population
even as we speak these words now.
Let us be unceasing in our demand
for an end to this violence,
for healing, for reparation, for true justice
throughout the land.
Ken yehi ratzon – May it be your will
Ve’chen yehi retzoneynu – and may it be ours;
Ve’nomar – and let us say
Amen
