"On days like today, with the difficult events that we are facing, perhaps this prayer, this melody, will help with a bit of healing in the world."

- Ilene Safyan, Havurah Music Coordinator

Thank you for sending this healing song to us, Ilene.

Listen to Hashkiveinu here.

This is the English translation of Hashkiveinu:

Lay us down to sleep in peace, Adonai our God, and raise us up, our leader, to life; spread over us the shelter of your peace. Guide us with your good counsel, and save us for the sake of your name. Shield us from foe, plague, sword, famine and anguish. Remove wrongdoing from before us and behind us, and shelter us in the shadow of your wings. For it is you, O God, who protects and rescues us; it is you, O God, Who are our gracious and compassionate leader. Safeguard our coming and our going, to life and to peace from now to eternity. Blessed are you, Adonai, who spreads a shelter of peace over all of us.
