Six13 - Prayer for the Hostages - מי שברך לחטופים

Since October 7, many synagogues around the world have adopted the "Mi Shebeirach" tefilah for our hostages. It is a reminder that we are not whole as long as there are hostages sitting in captivity, and it is a piercing prayer to God to set them free. We felt compelled to take this setting composed by our own Mordy Weinstein and put the Six13 spin on it. With a video produced in collaboration with Run 4 Their Lives, we hope that this version serves as a prayer that this song never needs to be sung again, and that we become reunited with every last one of our hostages speedily.
