Powerful ‘Mi Sheberach’ Sung for IDF Soldiers

By COLlive reporter

As the world remembers the soldiers who lost their lives fighting on the front lines for Eretz Yisroel, Jews daven for the soldiers that are fighting each and every day, serving and protecting our nation.

This ‘Mi Sheberach for the IDF’ is performed by Aryeh Hurwitz and the Rinat Israel Choir conducted and arranged by Ofir Sobol.

This heartfelt vocals-only rendition perfectly delivers the feeling of our nation towards our beloved soldiers, as we beseech Hashem to protect and save our soldiers from harm’s way.

We’re delighted to announce that ‘Mi sheberach’ is the first song to be released from Hurwitz’s upcoming debut album, coming out this Fall.

The album consists of cantorial and popular jewish songs, with full orchestral and choral arrangements produced by Ofir Sobol, the son and successor of the late Mordechai Sobol OMB who has conducted and arranged many of the album’s songs.

Lyrics:

מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ

אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב

הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת חַיָּלֵי צְבָא הַהֲגַנָּה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל

הָעוֹמְדִים עַל מִשְׁמַר אַרְצֵנוּ וְעָרֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ

מִגְּבוּל הַלְּבָנוֹן וְעַד מִדְבַּר מִצְרַיִם

וּמִן הַיָּם הַגָּדוֹל עַד לְבוֹא הָעֲרָבָה

בַּיַּבָּשָׁה בָּאֲוִיר וּבַיָּם

יִתֵּן יְיָ אֶת אוֹיְבֵינוּ הַקָּמִים עָלֵינוּ

נִגָּפִים לִפְנֵיהֶם

הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא יִשְׁמֹר וְיַצִּיל אֶת חַיָלֵינוּ

מִכׇּל צָרָה וְצוּקָה

וּמִכׇּל נֶגַע וּמַחֲלָה

וְיִשְׁלַח בְּרָכָה וְהַצְלָחָה בְּכָל מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם

יַדְבֵּר שׂוֹנְאֵינוּ תַּחְתֵּיהֶם

וִיעַטְּרֵם בְּכֶתֶר יְשׁוּעָה וּבַעֲטֶרֶת נִצָּחוֹן

וִיקֻיַּם בָּהֶם הַכָּתוּב

“כִּי יְיָ אֱלֹהֵיכֶם הַהֹלֵךְ עִמָּכֶם

לְהִלָּחֵם לָכֶם עִם אֹיְבֵיכֶם

לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶתְכֶם”

וְנֹאמַר: “אָמֵן”

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force

who stand guard over our land and the cities of our God

from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt,

and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah

on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May Hashem cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them.

May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse:

For it is Hashem, your God, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

Now let us respond: Amen.
