Watch our recording of our Mi Sheberach Book Launch! We got to hear from Rabbi Bradly Levenberg of Temple Sinai, who inspired this prayer activity and book, as well as several prayer contributors.
Prayer is an essential aspect of religious experience. But while hundreds of thousands of people around the world practice daily prayer, they don’t always fully appreciate the ways prayer, at least Jewish prayer, can actually help to nurture our mental health and wellness with its proscribed routines and ways of thinking that can act as self-care.
When someone is ill or recovering from illness or an accident, we often recite a mi sheberach to wish them a refuah sheleimah, or a “full recovery.” We have expanded this prayer for those who are in recovery.
