Prayer to free the hostages
Here is Rav Berland’s prayer to free the hostages, in its own post.
====
This is the English translation:
Master of the Universe, Almighty, who can do anything and Who is full of mercy.
Give us the merit to see all the hostages returned, in the blink of an eye (=435).
In the merit of “Hashem is Echad (One)” (=1), Moshiach (=358) ben (=52) David (= 24) = 435.
“Do not keep silent nor be still, O G‑d, for behold, Your enemies are in uproar, and those who hate You have raised their head. They plot deviously in secret, and conspire against those sheltered by You. They said, come let us obliterate them from nationhood, so that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered!” (Tehillim 83:2)
And turn all their thoughts from bad to good, and may there be fulfilled within them the verse:
“And He caused them to be pitied by all their captors.” (Tehillim 106:46).
And fulfill within them the verse:
“For He smashed gates of copper, and cut apart iron bolts,” (Tehillim 107:16), ” and “He would take them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and break open their shackles.” (Tehillim 107:14).
And then,
“Let them give thanks to Hashem for His kindness, and His wonders to mankind’s children.” (Tehillim 107:8.)

Just FYI, it took me around an hour to translate this deceptively short prayer.
The psukim from the tehillim jumped around all over the place, and were not so easy to track down.
If you compare this version, above, with the ‘AI’ version one of the commentators put up on the bottom of the last post, you’ll see that AI got most of the prayer translation totally wrong.
And this is a very short prayer, relatively, that quotes a lot of very well-known psalms.
====
I guess what I’m saying is that while the AI may be a very handy tool, for speeding up processes that computers are built to do, it can NEVER replace people.
Never, ever.
And in the meantime, please do add this prayer to your collection, and may we hear good news soon about the poor hostages who our government, and others, really don’t care a stuff about, and are just using as ‘pawns’ in their grand game of chess, to manipulate the public in ways that are sometimes obvious, but often not.

” The main thing is the dancing, the dancing elevates all learning, a person needs to study eight hours of Gemara, and then dance for an hour. Thanks to the dancing, the war will stop. We have already been in captivity for 400 days, and every day people are killed. “
Thank you Rivka for your quest for truth and your time and efforts in translating!
