Heal us, and let the year and her curses end

We stand on the border of twilight and dark

between one year and the next -

And we find ourselves filled with so much -

With hope and brokenness

With fear and with love

We seek so much healing

The repair of failing bodies -

The renewal of wholeness and health

We pray for so many in our lives -

And our prayers extend outside our homes, outside our borders.

Dear God-

We call out to you -

Heal us. Heal the ones we love. Heal the ones who so need healing.

El Na R’faeinu - tikhleh shanah v’kil׳loteha—

Heal us- and let the year and her curses end.

Raise us up -

Stitch us back together.

Tachel shanah u’virchoteha

Let the new year and its blessings begin.
