We pray for the Israeli citizens Abraham Mengitsu and the Beoduin Arab who are being held in the Gaza strip and for their families.
Regardless of how or why they entered Gaza, redeeming captives (pidyon shvuyim) is a fundamental value and goal for the Jewish people.
We pray for their safe return. As we say 'Shalom Aleichem' to Shabbat tonight, may we soon be able to say 'Shalom Aleichem' and 'Salaam Aleikum' to these two Israeli citizens as they return to Israel proper.
Amen.
