Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu RuachLit. Spirit. Some new versions of blessings call God "Spirit of the World" (Ruakh Ha’olam), rather than "King of the World" (Melekh Ha'olam). HaOlam,
Source of life and strength, who is with us in our struggles.
May those who face destruction and loss find resilience and support.
May the hands of firefighters and rescuers be steady and strong, bringing safety and hope in the midst of chaos.
For the families forced to flee, may they find shelter and comfort.
For the earth that burns, may healing rains fall swiftly.
Blessed are You, Eternal One, who fills hearts with courage and communities with love, even in the darkest of times.
Amen
