This tune has become one of the most commonly shared melodies in synagogues around the world. It can be used in the context of a service and when the community's needs call for the expression of concern and care for a person who needs healing.
Lyrics:
Mi shebeirach avoteinu
M'kor hab'racha l'imoteinu
May the source of strength,
Who blessed the ones before us,
Help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing,and let us say, Amen.
Mi shebeirach imoteinu
M'kor habrachah l'avoteinu
Bless those in need of healing with r'fuah sh'leimah,
The renewal of body, the renewal of spirit, And let us say, Amen
