Public Prayers for Illness in the Synagogue

The history and variety of the misheberach prayers for healing.

Bennett Decker is originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was a student at the Joint Program between the Jewish Theological Seminary and Columbia University where he received dual BAs in Political Science and Talmud. Bennett currently combines his desire to make the world a more just place and share his love of Judaism during his day job at T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights.

Bennett got involved with Keshet as a participant on the Keshet Teen Shabbaton during his senior year in High School. Since then, Keshet has helped him to find queer Jews to be thought partners, teachers, justice-seekers, and friends in the community. He has also fallen in love with the work that Keshet does, particularly for teens and
youth; helping Queer Jews unite those two parts of their identity.
