Quotes:

- Mi shebeirach avoteinu. M'kor habracha l'imoteinu.

May the source of strength who blessed the ones before us,
Help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing
And let us say: Amen.

Mi shebeirach imoteinu. M'kor habracha l'avoteinu.

Bless those in need of healing with refuah sh'leimah,
The renewal of body, the renewal of spirit
And let us say: Amen.
