PRAYER FOR THE IDF
Prayer for Members of the Israel Defense Force
| He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our God from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May Hashem cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor. May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your God, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you. Now let us respond: Amen. |

THOSE BEING HELD HOSTAGE
“Acheinu kol Bais Yisrael – Our brethren, the entire Jewish People”
“Hanesunim bitzara u’bishivya – who are delivered into confinement and captivity”
Who are confined and imprisoned by personal attitudes, and blind to the feelings and convictions of others…
“Ha’omdim bein bayam u’vein bayabasha – whether they be on the sea or dry land”
Whether they are borne afloat in the world of Torah-study and observance or anchored in a world parched of both…
“HaMakom yiracheim aleihem viyotzi’eim mitzara li’rvacha – May the Omnipresent have mercy on them and remove them from distress to relief”
May the One Who is present in every Jewish heart release them from their close-mindedness to a state of openness to others and Jewish concern for other Jews
“U’mei’afela li’ora – and from darkness to light”
From the darkness of hatred and frustration that yields derision of others (and worse) to the enlightened recognition that fellow Jews, even those one may feel are misguided, deserve respect and care.
“U’mishibud lig’ula – and from subjugation to redemption”
From slavery to incivility to the freedom of open minds and hearts–leading to the ultimate redemption
“Hashta b’agala u’viz’man kariv – now, speedily, and close at hand”
Not next year, not next month, but today.
And let us say amen.
