The Traveler's Prayer

Hi,

"One who travels must recite tefilat haderech. What is tefilat haderech? 'May it be Your will, my Gd, that You lead me towards peace, direct my steps toward peace, support me toward peace, and rescue me from the hand of any enemy or ambush on the way, and send blessing upon my handiwork, and give me favour, generosity and mercy in Your eyes and the eyes of all who see me. You are blessed, Gd, who listens to prayer.'

 
"Abbaye said: One should always merge himself with the community [by wording his prayer in the plural, on behalf of the community]."

(Talmud, Berachot 29b-30a) 

Have a great day,
Mordechai

If you can do something good, why not do it?

Hi,

"How does one recite [the wayfarer's prayer]? Rav Chisda said: While standing [to improve one's concentration]. Rav Sheshet said: Even while travelling.

"Rav Chisda and Rav Sheshet were travelling, and Rav Chisda halted to pray. Rav Sheshet [who was blind] said to his servant, "What is Rav Chisda doing?" He said, "He has halted, and he is praying." Rav Sheshet said, "Halt me, too, and I will pray; given the chance to be good, do not be called bad.""

(Talmud, Berachot 30a)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
