The Bostoner Rebbe Shlita, Speaks on Israel

In view of the horrific condition with which we are presently faced, the Bostoner Rebbe, Shlita, suggests that everyone add a special prayer for our brethren in Israel during the Seder after reciting “V’he she’amda” following “in every generation our enemies aim to annihilate us but Hashem rescues us from their hands.” After that, recite the “Av HaRachamim” which we say upon taking out the Torah.  In that suggested prayer, translated below, we say:

Hashem have compassion on K’lal Yisroel and remember Your Covenant with the Patriarchs.  May Ribono Shel Olam have mercy on His People and rescue us from hard times.   Graciously make us an eternal remnant and fulfill our requests for the safety and welfare of the Jews residing in the Holy Land, including our sons and daughters now living in Israel.
