Jewish Women International has created a healing prayer to raise awareness of domestic violence.
Created by JWI’s Clergy Task Force, the “misheberach” prayer is multi-denominational and written in Hebrew and English. It directs healing specifically to the victims of domestic abuse.
The new prayer is being disseminated through rabbinical bodies and other channels. It is intended to be read aloud during High Holidays services, which this year are taking place just before and during National Domestic Violence Awareness month in October. — jta
