2023-2025 Israel–Hamas war —⟶ tag: 2023-2025 Israel–Hamas war Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? This al hanissim for the day of the release of the remaining living hostages taken by HAMA”S to Gaza on 7 October 2023, was offered by Rabbi Cantor Hillary Chorny (Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles) on 13 October 2025, on Hoshana Rabba 5786. The text of the prayer was first published in a Google Doc with a link shared over social media. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): “The Chief Rabbi’s Prayer of Thanksgiving & Hope on the Occasion of the Release of the Remaining Living Hostages Held in Gaza” by the Office of the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth was first shared via social media on erev Shabbat Bereshit (17 October 2025) by Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis. This mi sheberakh prayer was offered by Rabbi Gila Caine for those reviewing and compiling the documentary evidence of the depraved violence committed by HAMA”S and its allies on 7 October 2023. “Geula for Shaagat HaAri” by Benny Powers was first published to the author’s website on 11 March 2026. A ritual and liturgy for Jews who have felt compelled to withdraw from friendships, organisations, or social and religious environments in which antisemitism, hostility towards Israel, or the dismissal of Jewish grief had become tolerated or normalised. It is intended particularly for those who have already established a practical boundary—by leaving, blocking, unfollowing, or ending a relationship—and who need a Jewish ritual through which to acknowledge the resulting grief and affirm their dignity, solidarity, and continued connection to the Jewish people. This is a prayer for Yom Kippur. It started out as a meditation on Yizkor, hence the אל מלא רחמים form at the beginning. It quickly changed to a prayer for insight and change and the possiblity of tshuvah in this moment. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): “A Prayer for October 7, Three Years Later” by Rabbi Menachem Creditor was shared by the author through the Open Siddur Project Discussion Group on Facebook, 7 October 2026.
