Yizkor: The Memorial Prayer in Honor of
Yom HaZikaron
Translation
May the nation of Israel remember
its sons and daughters, faithful and
courageous—
The soldiers of the Israel Defense
forces, and all members of the
undergrounds and brigades, the
warriors in the battles at sea,
members of the intelligence
community, security personnel,
policemen, and those in the prison
service—
Who gave up their lives in war to
ensure the existence of Israel.
And all of whom that were killed
within Israel and outside of Israel at
the hands of murderers and
terrorists.
May the nation of Israel and the
Exalted one remember the radiance
of the youthfulness, the
delightfulness, heroism, purity of
their will, and the selflessness of
those who fell in the costly wars.
May the fallen of the wars of Israel
be crowns of victory and may their
names be inscribed upon the hearts
of Israel for all generations.
