One of the most painful parts of this painful period of time is the kidnapping of 240 men, women, and children by Hamas on October 7. The youngest of them turned 10 months old in captivity! Pictures of these captives, posted on light poles and buildings in cities and on campuses across the United States, have been torn down and defaced by anti-Israel and antisemitic individuals and groups.
I want to share this moving video about the captives. It is a prayer.
My God, May all of our children return to their borders
All of our youngsters, all of our mothers, all of our babies,
May they all return.
All who were taken, all who were kidnapped
May they return home, May they return now.
We pray for their welfare. We pray that they may return home to their loved ones. Shabbat Shalom.
Rabbi Marc D. Rudolph
