תפילה להפקד בבנים

EnglishHebrewEnglish transliteration

May it be Your will, L-rd my G-d and G-d of my ancestors, Support of the worlds, righteous in every generation! For the sake of Your great hidden Name in the verse, “The L-rd has remembered us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Aaron,” grant me the son I long for: worthy, good and beautiful, without defects of body or soul, able to live and exist without sin or wrongdoing. Grant me a child and bless me with Your Name; bless my home with Your remembrance, and may I know peace in my dwelling. Send into the embryo nefesh, ruach and neshamah from a pure source. Make every preparation to complete him, grant him existence and bring him into the world well formed, in grace, kindness and compassion, healthy, courageous, firm and strong. Have compassion on him as You create him and form the parts of his body. Bring him forth complete in spirit and soul, in the arrangement of his internal organs and the structure of his body. May no limb have injury, defect, disorder or disease. May he lack nothing throughout his life. May he be born at the proper time and a favorable hour, in well-being and success. May his life be good, long and peaceful, spiritually and materially, in prosperity, happiness and honor together with all Your people Israel. Bless me, my descendants and their children with everything that perfects our awareness, intelligence and understanding, to fulfill Your will. Bless me with heavenly blessings from above and the blessings of waters filling the depths; bless my breasts and my womb.
Please, G-d of heavenly hosts, G-d of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, let Your ears hear the voice of my supplications. Look kindly upon me from Your holy dwelling on high and grant me a child with a holy soul, devoted to Torah and the commandments. Bless me with the blessing of Your mouth, and may Your servant’s house be blessed forever together with all Israel. Hear my prayer, L-rd, and heed my plea. Fulfill in me the purpose for which You created the human being in Your universe, for You formed and created humanity to inhabit the earth. Grant me a holy and pure child with a new holy and pure soul descending from the treasury of souls, a child united with the souls of holy righteous people. You holy souls who have lived in this world, please plead with the L-rd to fulfill my request for good through your merits and through the merit of my intense longing for a son who is diligent, filled with Torah and worthy of becoming a prophet. Hear my voice, L-rd G-d, and accept my prayer with compassion and goodwill (if near the graves of righteous people, add: and through the merit of the righteous people buried here). Do not send me away empty-handed from before You. Fulfill my request for good, and I shall raise the son in reverence for G-d all his days, he and his sons among the people Israel. Amen.
