Hashkiveinu: Shelter from the River to the Sea

Hashkiveinu adonai eloheinu l’shalom
ve’ha’amideinu malkeinu l’chayim.
..

May you lie down in peace
and rise up again to life
in the morning.

Ve’hagen ba’adeinu ve’haser mei’aleinu
oyev, dever, ve’cherev, ve’ra’av ve’ya’gon…

May you be protected
from all violence and harm,
hunger and disease,
sheltered from weapons of death
that strike from above and below.

Uve’tzel kanfecha tastireinu…

May you be healed from all pain and trauma,
comforted by the knowledge
that you are not alone.

Ufros aleinu sukkat shlomecha...

May you find refuge
beneath a shelter that knows no bounds,
that you, and all who dwell
between the river and the sea
may find protection
for life and for peace
now and always.

Amen
