HOME… TRAVELER’S PRAYER / HALLEL / NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM

TRAVELER’S PRAYER

We end with The Traveler’s Prayer, Tefilat Haderech. Read each group of phrases from right to left:

HALLEL

What are the Hallel Psalms?

Psalms 113-118

Psalm 136 is considered the Great Hallel

These psalms are essentially expressions of thanksgiving and joy for divine redemption. These Psalms are recited at the three Pilgrimage Feasts (Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles) and Hanukkah. Pour over these Psalms in the few moments you are awake on the plane ride home.

L’Shanah Ha Ba’ah b’Yerushalayim is the Hebrew for Next Year in Jerusalem.
