Connecting the Queens Jewish Community The Power Of Preparing Before We Daven We all want our tefilos to be more meaningful. We want to feel...
Someich Hashem l’chol ha’noflim, v’zokeif l’chol ha’k’fufim.
Hashem supports all the fallen ones and straightens all the bent.
Chanun v’rachum Hashem, erech apayim u’g’dal chesed.
Malchus’cha malchus kol olamim, u’memshalt’cha b’chol dor va’dor.
Your kingdom is a kingdom spanning all eternities, and your dominion is throughout every generation.
