מוֹדִים אֲנַחְנוּ לָךְ ה׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֶאֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ עַל כָּל הַטּוֹב וְהַחֶסֶד שֶׁעָשִׂיתָ עִמָּנוּ בְּהַצָּלַת נוֹסְעֵי מְטוֹס פְלַיי דּוּבַּאי שֶׁהָיָה בְּדַרְכּוֹ לִמְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל, בְּעִצּוּמוֹ שֶׁל חֹל הַמּוֹעֵד סֻכּוֹת הַשְׁתָּא (י״ט בתשרי תשפ״ז), בְּקוּם טַיָּס צַר וְאוֹיֵב, אֲשֶׁר בִּקֵּשׁ לַהֲרֹג וּלְאַבֵּד אֶת כְּלַל הַנּוֹסְעִים.	We gratefully thank You, O Lord our God and God of our fathers, for all the goodness and lovingkindness that You have bestowed upon us, in saving the passengers of the Fly Dubai plane, that was on its way to Israel, during the intermediate days of Sukkot this year (19th of Tishrei 5787), when a hostile and adversarial pilot arose, seeking to kill and annihilate all the passengers.
זָכִינוּ וְהִקְדַּמְתָּ תְּרוּפָה לַמַּכָּה, וְהֶעֱמַדְתָּ מוֹשִׁיעִים מִבְּעוֹד מוֹעֵד; וּבִכְלָלָם אֶת אור ברדילוב, יניב חיון, ד״ר שוטה מוסייב, טלי מנס, צביקה מנס ואסף רג׳ואן. אֲשֶׁר בְּסִיַּעְתָּא דִּשְׁמַיָּא סוֹבְבוּ וְהֵבִיאוּ אֶת הַתְּשׁוּעָה.	We were privileged that You provided the cure before the affliction, and sent saviors in advance; Among them Or Bardilov, Yaniv Hayun, Dr. Shota Musaev, Tali Manes, Zvika Manes, and Asaf Rajuan, who, with Heaven’s help, effected and brought about this deliverance.
וּכְשֵׁם שֶׁעֲזַרְתָּנוּ וְעָשִׂיתָ לָנוּ נִסִּים גְּלוּיִים וְנִפְלָאוֹת אַדִּירוֹת כֵּן תּוֹסִיף לְהַרְאוֹתֵנוּ אֶת כּוֹחֲךָ הַגָּדוֹל וּלְהוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ. וְקַיָּם בָּנוּ מִקְרָא שֶׁכָּתוּב ”פְּדֵה אֱלֹהִים אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל מִכֹּל צָרוֹתָיו“ (תהילים כה:כב), וְנִזְכֶּה לְהַכְרִיעַ אֶת כָּל אוֹיְבֵינוּ הַקָּמִים עָלֵינוּ, הַקְּרוֹבִים וְהָרְחוֹקִים.	Just as You have assisted us and performed open miracles and mighty wonders for us, so too may You continue to show us Your great power and save us for the sake of Your name. May the verse be fulfilled in us: “Redeem Israel, O God, from all its troubles” (Psalms 25:22), and may we merit to overcome all the enemies who rise against us— both near and far.
בָּרְכֵנוּ בְּשָׁלוֹם, אֲדוֹן הַשָּׁלוֹם, וְיִהְיוּ שְׁרוּיִים בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ אַהֲבָה וְאַחְוָה, שָׁלוֹם וְרֵעוּת.	Bless us with peace, Master of Peace, and may love and brotherhood, peace and friendship, dwell among us.
אָנָּא מֶלֶךְ רַחוּם וְחַנּוּן, זָכְרֵנוּ לְטוֹבָה, פָּקְדֵנוּ לִבְרָכָה, הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ לְחַיִּים טוֹבִים, וְהוֹסֵף לְהָרִים אֶת קֶרֶן יִשְׂרָאֵל עַמֶּךָ. אָמֵן, כֵּן יְהִי רָצוֹן.	Gracious and compassionate King, kindly remember us for good, recollect us for blessing, and deliver us for life. And continue to exalt the horn of Israel, Your people. Amen, may this be Your will.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of volunteer contributors, or its institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.

ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו׃ (תהלים צ:יז) · "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." (Psalms 90:17)
