“And they shall give every man a ransom for his soul unto the Lord… that there be no plague among them.”Exodus 30:12
Begin the New Year With Prayer, Merit and Blessing
The days leading up to Rosh Hashanah are traditionally regarded as a powerful time for reflection, prayer, repentance and seeking Divine mercy.
According to Jewish tradition and the wisdom of Kabbalah, many people choose to perform a Pidyon Nefesh — a spiritual practice involving charity, prayer and special intentions — as part of their preparation for the New Year.
It is an opportunity to pause, reflect on the past year, and pray for yourself and those you love:
For blessing.For protection.For health.For livelihood and abundance.For peace in the home.For success and spiritual renewal.
Rosh Hashanah is a time to look forward with faith and hope and to ask for a year of goodness, mercy and blessing.
Pidyon Nefesh for Every Member of the Family
We recommend performing a separate Pidyon Nefesh for each member of the household, mentioning each person individually by name and their mother's name during the prayer.
Many people also choose to perform an additional Pidyon Nefesh on Erev Yom Kippur, as part of their spiritual preparation for Yom Kippur and the hope for a favorable spiritual judgment.
Participation: 36 NIS per person
May you and your entire family be blessed with a good and sweet New Year — with health, protection, abundance, success, peace, happiness, and blessings in every area of life. Amen.
