Rishon Lezion HaRav Yitzchak Yosef Posted on 09October2023 https://breslev.com/4060580/

In light of the on-going war in Eretz Yisrael, the Rishon Letzion, Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef, requests the following:

Say the “Prayer for the Success of Am Yisrael” below upon the opening of the aron kodesh every day, immediately after the chazarat hashatz, before the half-kaddish
Say Avinu Malkeinu
Recite these chapters of Tehillim: 121, 130, and 142

Prayer for the Success of Am Yisrael

May it be Your will, Hashem our G-d and the G-d of our forefathers, that You be filled with mercy towards us and towards Your entire nation of Israel and save us from the hands of all our enemies and haters, and from the hand of all those who wish to harm us. Nullify their counsel and disrupt their designs, and may their hands create no enterprise, as it says, “Utzu eitzah – Plot and plan – and you will fail; confer, conspire – it will not come to be, because G-d is with us.” Hashem, foil the plans of nations and disrupt their designs, and may their swords go into their own hearts and may their bows break.

Please, Hashem, may You feel merciful towards us and towards all Your Jewish people. Rise from the throne of strict justice and sit on the throne of mercy, and go beyond the letter of the law, and annul all harsh and bad decrees on us, and make good decrees, salvations and consolations, for the sake of Your mercy, and tear up the evil decree on us and may our merits be read before You.

“Arise to help us and redeem us for the sake of Your loyalty.” (Psalm 34:22)

Please, Hashem, protect your servants, your flock, who are in captivity in Gaza, protect the army soldiers and the security forces, save them from snares. May no harm befall them, and may no sickness come to their homes, and save them from all kinds of mishaps and accidents that come into the world, and may all the sick people of Your nation receive a complete recovery, all the wounded, and hear our beseeching, for You hear the prayer of every mouth. Blessed [are You], Who hears prayers. May the words of my mouth and my heart’s reflections please You, Hashem, my Rock and redeemer.

May Hashem give might to His people; may Hashem bless His people with peace.

Amen, Amen.

תפלה להצלחת עם ישראל

יהי רצון מלפניך ה’ אלקינו ואלהי אבותינו, שתתמלא ברחמים עלינו ועל כל עמך ישראל ותצילנו ותושיענו מיד כל אויבנו ושונאינו, ומכף כל מבקשי רעתינו, הפר עצתם וקלקל מחשבותם, ולא תעשינה ידיהם תושיה, וכמו שנאמר עוצו עצה ותופר, דברו דבר ולא יקום, כי עמנו אל. ונאמר, ה’ הפר עצת גויים וקלקל מחשבותם, ויהי רצון שחרבם תבוא בלבם וקשתותם תשברנה

אנא ה’ יהמו נא רחמיך עלינו ועל כל עמך ישראל, עמוד נא מכסא הדין ושב על כסא רחמים, ותכנס לנו לפני ולפנים משורת הדין, ותבטל מעלינו כל גזרות קשות ורעות, ותגזור עלינו גזרות טובות, ישועות ונחמות, למען רחמיך, ותקרע רוע גזר דינינו ויקראו לפניך זכויותיו

קומה עזרתה לנו ופדנו למען חסדך (תהילים 34:22)

אנא ה’ שמור והגן על עבדיך צאן מרעיתך, הנמצאים בשבייה בעזה, הגן על חיילי הצבא וכוחות הבטחון, הצילם מפח יקוש, לא תאונה אליהם רעה, ונגע לא יקרב באהליהם, ותצילם מכל מיני פורעניות ותאונות המתרגשות לבוא בעולם, ושלח נא רפואה שלימה לכל חולי עמך, לכל הפצועים, ושמע נא את קול תחינתינו, כי אתה שומע תפלת כל פה, ברוך שומע תפלה. יהיו לרצון אמרי פי והגיון לבי לפניך ה’ צורי וגואלי.

ה’ עוז לעמו יתן ה’ יברך את עמו בשלום, אמן ואמן

Prayer for the State of Israel

Hebrew Prayer for the State of Israel

This traditional version of the Prayer for the State of Israel was published by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel in 1948.
Our Father who is in heaven, Protector and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, the dawn of our deliverance. Shield it beneath the wings of Your love; spread over it Your canopy of peace; send Your light and Your truth to its leaders, officers, and counselors, and direct them with Your good counsel.
Strengthen the defenders of our Holy Land; grant them, our God, salvation and crown them with victory. Establish peace in the land, and everlasting joy for its inhabitants. Remember our brethren, the whole house of Israel, in all the lands of their dispersion. Speedily bring them to Zion, Your city, to Jerusalem Your dwelling-place, as it is written in the Torah of Your servant Moses:
“Even if you are dispersed in the uttermost parts of the world, from there the Lord your God will gather and fetch you. The Lord your God will bring you into the land which your ancestors possessed, and you shall possess it; and God will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your ancestors.”
Unite our hearts to love and revere Your name, and to observe all the precepts of Your Torah. Speedily send us Your righteous Messiah of the House of David, to redeem those waiting for Your salvation. Shine forth in Your glorious majesty over all the inhabitants of Your world. Let everything that breathes proclaim: “The Lord God of Israel is King; His majesty rules over all.” Amen. Selah.

This alternative version is adapted from the Kol Haneshama siddur, 1994.
Please God, bless the State of Israel. Protect it in the abundance of your love. Spread over it the shelter of your peace. Send forth your light and truth to those who lead and judge it, and to those who hold elective office. Establish in them, through your presence, wise counsel, that they might walk in the way of justice, freedom and integrity.
Strengthen the hands of those who guard our holy land. Let them inherit salvation and life. And give peace to the land, and perpetual joy to all its inhabitants. Appoint for a blessing all our kindred of the house of Israel in all the lands of their dispersion. Plant in their hearts a love to Zion. And for all our people everywhere, may God be with them, and may they have the opportunity to go up to the land. Cause your spirit’s influence to emanate upon the dwellers of our holy land.
Remove from their midst hatred and enmity, jealousy and wickedness. Plant in their hearts love and kinship, peace and friendship. And soon fulfill the vision of your profit, “Nation shall not lift up sword against nation. Let them learn no longer the ways of war.” And let us say, Amen.
