Prayer for the State of Israel
Avinu Sh’bah shemayim, Rock and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, may it be the beginning of our redemption. Shield it with Your lovingkindness, envelop it in Your peace, and bestow Your light and truth upon its leaders, ministers, and advisors, and grace them with Your good counsel.
May your name be sanctified in its midst. Strengthen the hands of those who defend our holy land, grant them deliverance, and adorn them in a mantle of victory. Ordain justice andpeace in the land, and grant joy of heart to all who seek you there.
May the law go forth from Zion and the word of God from Jerusalem. May Israel become a light unto the nations, and a sign of redemption for all the earth.
Lead them, swiftly and upright, to Your city Zion and to Jerusalem, the abode of Your Name, as is written in the Torah of Your servant Moses: “Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the world, from there the Lord your God will gather you, from there He will fetch you. And the Lord your God will bring you to the land. Amen.
Prayer for the Well-Being of the Israel Defense Forces
May the Holy one who blessed our fore-parents Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah - bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Forces, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our God, from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May the Almighty cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, preserve and rescue our fighters from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may God send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May God bring our enemies under our soldiers’ sway and may God grant our IDF soldiers and all who guard Mehdinat Israel salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is the Lord your God, Who goes with you to battle your enemies, for you, to save you.
