Tefilat HaDerech (Hebrew: תפילת הדרך) or the Traveler's Prayer or Wayfarer's Prayer in English, is a prayer for a safe journey recited by Jews, when they travel, by air, sea, and even on long car trips.[1] It is recited at the onset of every journey, and preferably done standing but this is not necessary.[2] It is often inscribed onto hamsas which sometimes contain the Sh'ma or Birkat HaBayit prayer instead.
