We can always use more prayers for healing:

A Prayer for Healing | תפילה לרפואה

Source of Life and Breath,
You who heal the brokenhearted
and bind up their wounds—

הָרוֹפֵא לִשְׁבוּרֵי־לֵב, וּמְחַבֵּשׁ לְעַצְּבוֹתָם.

Let Your compassion flow like living water.

כִּי עִמְּךָ מְקוֹר חַיִּים.

Renew strength in weary bodies,
restore courage in fragile spirits,
and plant hope where fear has taken root.

As the prophet teaches,
may those who wait for You
be lifted on wings of renewal—

וְקוֹוֵי יי יַחֲלִיפוּ כֹחַ.

Send refuah shleimah—
healing of body, healing of soul—

רְפָאֵנוּ יי וְנֵרָפֵא, הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ וְנִוָּשֵׁעָה.

Shelter us beneath Your presence,
and let peace draw near,
now and always.

עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו,
הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל.

Amen.

The Haftarah Drop with Rabbi Michael Shields

May this be a year where we finish wisely,
begin thoughtfully,
and walk forward—chazak ve’amatz—with strength, humility, and purpose.

The future doesn’t need your perfection. It needs your direction. Endings aren’t exits; they’re instructions.
