At the request of the families of the kidnapped individuals, we strive to increase our prayers and mitzvah performance in order to merit the swift liberation of our kidnapped brothers and sisters in good health.
The above prayer was written by Rabbi Amram Gaon in the 9th century. It is one of the oldest Jewish prayers and its translation is as follows:
Our brothers, the whole house of Israel
Who are in distress and captivity
Who stand between sea and land
May G-d have mercy on them
And bring them from distress to comfort
From darkness to light
From slavery to redemption
Now, swiftly, and soon
And let us say: Amen
The following is a list of the names of the kidnapped to pray for. The term “ben” means “son of,” while the term “bat” means “daughter of.”
