Chesed (Loving Kindness)
Chesed translates as loving-kindness; our Mitzvah Committee is dedicated to helping during times of need. The committee provides rides to services and events, organizes minyanim for funerals and shiva services, and supports acts of bikur cholim, visiting and providing for people who are ill.
Healing
We invite you to send us the name(s) of loved ones who are facing the challenge of illness, so that we may support them, and you, by inclusion in our communal Mi Sheberakh prayers.
The Mi Sheberakh prayer is one of the central Jewish prayers for those who are facing the challenge of illness. The pray includes pleas for both physical and spiritual healing within the community of others facing illness. Traditionally, the Mi Sheberakh is said in synagogue when the Torah is read. In modern times, the Mi Sheberakh is often said by professional health caregivers, patients, and loved ones at various times during treatment and recovery from illness of all sorts.
Below is the prayer/song that is said in transliteration, English and Hebrew.
| Mi Sheberakh Avoteinu: Avraham, Yitzhak, v’Yaakov, v’Imoteinu: Sarah, Rivka, Rachel v’Leah, Hu yivarekh virapei et haholeh/haholah _____ ben/bat ______ HaKadosh Barukh Hu yimalei rahamim alav/aleha, l’hahalimo/l’hahlimah, u-l’rap’oto/u-l’rap’otah, l’hahaziko/l’hazikah, u-l’hay-oto/u-l’hay-otah.

Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah bless and heal the one who is ill: __________ son/daughter of _________. May the Holy Blessed One overflow with compassion upon him/her, to restore him/her, to heal him/her, to strengthen him/her, to enliven him/her. The One will send him/her, speedily, a complete healing — healing of the soul and healing of the body along with all the ill, among the people of Israel and all humankind, soon, speedily, without delay, and let us all say: Amen! |

©2025We would like to offer you our own perspective of what it means to be a Reform Jew today. It is an ongoing spiritual and intellectual endeavor that engages the mind, the soul, and the body to better not only oneself, but to do tikun olam – the repair of the world through doing mitzvot wherever we may find the need.
