May God have compassion on them and grant them a speedy and safe return to their homes. May God save them and bring them from captivity to freedom, from enslavement to redemption, from darkness to light.

May the Holy One of Blessing grant them and all those wounded in the current violence a complete healing, a healing of spirit and a healing of body, strengthening their hearts, fortifying their courage, and soon letting them know joy and gladness.

May God bring peace to the land of Israel and all lands, and soon bring about the day when nation shall not lift up sword against nation nor learn war anymore, and let us say Amen.
