Prayer for the departed
For men:
Tov shem mishemen tov, veyom hamavet miyom hivaled’o. Sof davar hakol’ nishma, ‘et ha’elohim yera ve’et mitzvotav shemor, ki ze kol’ ha’adam. Ya’alzu hasidim b’ehavod, yeranenu al’ mishkevotam.
Hamerahem al’ kol’ beriyotav hu yaahoos veyahmol’ virahem al’ nefesh ruah oonshaama shel’ (name of deceased), ruah Adonai tenihenu be’gaan ‘eden, hu vehol’ ben’e Israel hashohevim imo bihlal’ harahamim vehaselihot, veh’en yehi ratzon venomar amen.
For women:
‘Eshet hayil’ mee yimtza, verahok mipeninim mihra. Sheker hah’en veh’evel’ hayofi, isha yir’aat Adonai hi teet-halal’. Tenu la miperi yad’eha, vihaleluha baa-shearim ma-aseha.
Hamerahem al’ kol’ beriyotav hu yaahoos veyahmol’ virahem al’ nefesh ruah oonshaama shel’ (name of deceased), ruah Adonai tenihena be’gaan ‘eden, hee vehol’ ben’e Israel hashohevot ima bihlal’ harahamim vehaselihot, veh’en yehi ratzon venomar amen.
