Misheberakh/Hakadosh Barukh Hu

This prayer for healing was inspired by the experience of feeling marginalized as a black woman in America and specifically in the Jewish community.


Misheberakh Avoteinu
Misheberakh Imoteinu
Please bless those in need of healing
Hakadosh Barukh hu

May the one who Blessed our Mothers
who Blessed our Fathers
We need you to hear our cry
Hakadosh Barukh hu

The God of Wholeness
The God of Wonder
Please teach me and give me strength
Hakadosh Barukh hu

El Shaddai Adonai
I need you to heal the world
And make it right

I want to live in a world full of song and hope
Where my children can play and not have to cope
Please bless us and give us healing
Hakadosh, Hakadosh, Hakadosh
Hakadosh Barukh hu
