Basya Tsybukmakher
יהי רצון לפני אמירת פרשת המן

On weekdays, recite:

May it be Your will, L-rd our G-d and G-d of our ancestors, to provide sustenance for all Your people, the house of Israel, including me and my family: with ease rather than suffering, with honor rather than shame, in a permitted rather than a forbidden way, so that we may serve You and study Your Torah. Just as You fed our ancestors with manna in the wilderness, in a dry and desolate land. | יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ יְיָ אֱלהֵינוּ וֵאלהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ שֶׁתַּזְמִין פַּרְנָסָה לְכָל עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּפַרְנָסָתִי וּפַרְנָסַת אַנְשֵׁי בֵיתִי בִּכְלָלָם. בְּנַחַת וְלא בְּצַעַר בְּכָבוֹד וְלא בְּבִזּוּי בְּהֶתֵּר וְלא בְּאִסּוּר כְּדֵי שֶׁנּוּכַל לַעֲבוֹד עֲבוֹדָתֶךָ וְלִלְמוֹד תּוֹרָתֶךָ כְּמוֹ שֶׁזַנְתָּ לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ מָן בַּמִּדְבָּר בְּאֶרֶץ צִיָּה וַעֲרָבָה: | Yehi ratson milefanekha A-doynoy Eloheynu ve-Elohey avoteynu she-tazmin parnasa le-khol amkha beyt Israel u-farnasati u-farnasat anshey beyti bi-khlalam.
