L'DOR VA-DOR offers
MI SHEBEIRACH HEALING PRAYERS
To those on our Healing List and those that are not, but should be, we send out our thoughts and wishes for you to be stronger, to heal, to recover, and to attain a full recovery to good health, a Refuah Schlema, renewal of the body, renewal of the spirit! Hoping that you will be returned to good health soon!
Please let us know of someone who should be added onto our Healing List, as well as those who may have recovered and should be removed from our list (please contact our synagogue office at 561-968-0688). Thank you in advance of this.
