Which include a harachaman for chayalei Tzahal or for peace between bnei Sarah and bnei Hagar?

  • I've seen both Sarah/Hagar and Yishmael/Yizhak. Do you not want to know about the second? May 16, 2014 at 17:48
  • Interesting. I've never seen the latter.

    These lines appear (with variations) in Reform Zionist youth movements' versions of Birkat ha-Mazon. See in PDF downloadable here (on second page), and listed in differences from the traditional Birkat ha-Mazon in PDF here. The former has the Sarah/Hagar version, and the latter mentions the Yishmael/Yizhak one. They differ from the traditional Birkat ha-Mazon in more significant ways, as well.

The beautiful (in my opinion) Koren Birkon contains the "Harachaman"s for both the State of Israel and the Israeli Defense Forces. Here's a photo of the page that has them:

  • Just being pedantic about syntax.

My experience with printing benchers for occasions is that there are printers that customize the content for not very much money per bencher. So take a bencher that you kept from an occation that has a reasonably close Nusach to what you want (e.g. Ashkenaz, etc.) call the number printed on it, and ask them. If they don't do that level of customization, it is quite likely they know someone who does.
