May it be Your will , O God , to turn Your Providential attention to Elkanah Bohbut , kidnapped from the Nova music festival . He was preparing to open an ice cream shop in Tel Aviv . His three-year-old son continues to ask : “ Eifo Aba ? -- Where is Daddy ?” May we see the final words of Your Prophets fulfilled : “ He shall turn the hearts of parents to their children , and the hearts of children to their parents ” ( Malachi 3:24 ). May all hostages soon be returned to their families ’ embrace .

May it be Your will , O God , our faithful Covenant Partner , that You attend to Your sworn Covenantal promise , not only to those of us who are here and free today ; not only to those whose personal stories we have recounted today ; but also to those who are not among us , and whose stories and experiences must still be shared ... those whose lives were ended on October 7 and in its aftermath , and those still held hostage : those who are not yet here with us , as we pray they will be once again soon .
