Prayer for Release of Hostages 
 
Acheinu kol beit Yisrael,
han'tunim b'tzarah uvashivyah, 
ha'omdim bein bayam uvein bayabashah. 
Hamakom y'racheim aleihem 
v'yotzi'eim mitzarah lirvachah, 
umei'afeilah l'orah, umishi'bud lig'ulah, 
hashta ba'agala uvizman kariv. 

אַחֵינוּ כָּל בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל 
הַנְּתוּנִים בְּצָרָה וּבַשִּׁבְיָה
הָעוֹמְדִים בֵּין בַּיָּם וּבֵין בַּיַּבָּשָׁה. 
הַמָּקוֹם יְרַחֵם עֲלֵיהֶם
וְיוֹצִיאֵם מִצָּרָה לִרְוָחָה
וּמֵאֲפֵלָה לְאוֹרָה וּמִשִּׁעְבּוּד לִגְאֻלָּה
הַשְׁתָּא בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב.

Our family, the whole house of Israel, who are in distress, or in captivity — who stand either in the sea or on dry land — may the Omnipresent have mercy on them and take them out from narrowness to expanse, and from darkness to light, and from oppression to redemption, now, swiftly, and soon! (Translated by Elie Kaunfer)
