Ritual hand-washing in preparation

Special Prayer for handwashing during the pandemic:

As we wash our hands We pray,

Blessed is the Soul of the Universe,

Breathing us in and breathing us out.

May our breaths continue

And our health and the health of all

Be preserved In this time of sickness and fear of sickness.

Holy Wholeness,

We take as much responsibility for this as we can

By observing the obligation to wash our hands

Thoroughly:

For as long as it takes to say this prayer. Amen

וּרָבּ הָתַּא ׳ָה וּניֵהֶלֶמ םָלוֹעָה רֶשֲׁא וּנָשְׁדִּק ויָתוְֹצִמְבּ וּנָוִּצְו לַע תַליִטְנ םִיַדָי

Barukh atah adonai eloheinu melekh ha-olam asher kidshanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al netilat yad’im

Blessed are you, our God, ruler of the universe, who sanctified us with God's commandments and instructed us on washing hands
