Interesting prayers in Hebrew and Italian, composed especially for women (with an introduction), to be said on the night of ritual immersion in the mikva before cohabitation: To have pure thoughts, to find favor in the eyes of her husband, to successfuly conceive and to sire male offspring who will grow to be learned scholars. Plus, a prayer to be recited every day throughout the nine months of pregnancy for the to be at an auspicious moment and not at a time when people perform “black magic” causing harm.
