C

onsider adding 
this prayer to your 
seder this year for 
the people of Ukraine.
Shield of Abraham, 
Protector of Sarah, rise 
up in protection of our 
brothers 
and sisters 
in Ukraine, 
so that they 
may travel on 
eagles’ wings 
safely to the 
Promised 
Land. There 
may they know the loving 
embrace of family and 
kinsmen and, together with 
all Jews, may their futures 
hold blessing and success, 
prosperity and peace. 
Compassionate Creator 
of all, open our hearts so 
that our mercy and our 
kindness may be upon all 
Ukrainians. Inspire us for 
the sake of peace to care 
actively for their widows 
and their orphans, their 
poor and their suffering, 
that each and every person 
shall sit under his or her 

vine and fig tree and none 
shall make them afraid. 
Heavenly Designer, grant 
understanding and wisdom 
to all leaders of this world. 
May they know humility 
and patience, benevolence 
and charity, to protect 
the God-given individual 
rights of humanity and the 
sanctity of democracy. May 
these leaders remember 
and fear the horrors of 
nuclear weaponry, and 
may they be emboldened 
and empowered to prevent 
the further military use 
of nuclear, chemical and 
biological technologies. 
May we together, You 
and us, work toward the 
day when nation shall 
not lift up sword against 
nation, and when justice, 
righteousness and loving-
kindness shall flow like a 
mighty stream.
And let us say, Amen!
