Wayfarer's Prayer
"Behold I send an angel before you to protect you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared."
This portion of the prayer is taken from Exodus 23:20 when Hashem gave the assurance to Moses as the Jewish People were about to begin their historic journey from Mount Sinai. Traditionally, this prayer is recited as soon as a traveler has gone 140 feet past the last house of his town. It is thought that one must pray that they complete their journey safely.
The above Wayfarer's prayer is from the Gary Rosenthal Travel Shabbat candle holder set shown below.
