I will request a misheberach for Mrs. Don-o, and say some Tehillim.

I confess I do not know what that is - sounds Jewish. I can assure you that Mrs D will be very pleased, as she will with ALL of y'all; especially those (and you know who you are) who have jousted with her.

“May the One who blessed Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah, bless and heal this person, ____________ the son/daughter of ____________. May the Holy One, blessed be God, be merciful and strengthen and heal him/her. Grant him/her a complete and speedy recovery—healing of body and healing of soul. And let us say: Amen.”

It is usually recited during the Torah service at synagogue. Offering to say it at someone’s bedside is also very comforting and healing.

Tehillim is the Jewish word for Psalms.

Please tell your wife that I find her to be a very inspirational person with a true gift of sharing her faith (neither an easy accomplishment in an on-line forum, LOL!)
Continued prayers for all of you!

tehillim means "Psalms" and are the Psalms you know and love from the Bible. misheberach is a special prayer said for someone's recovery from illness. It is an act of mercy and kindness. m'sh'berach means "May He who blessed" and the prayer may be translated as:


May the One who blessed our ancestors --

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!
