Mi Shebeirach List
One of the central Jewish prayers for those who are ill or recovering from illness or injury is the Mi Shebeirach. The prayer takes its name from two words: “mi” and “shebeirach” meaning, “the One" "who blessed.” It asks that the One who blessed our ancestors bring about a complete healing. On Shabbat and Festivals we read the names of those in need of healing before we sing the prayer.
The version of the prayer we sing most often is by Debbie Friedman, ז׳׳ל:
