Please daven and recite Tehillim for the 202 Yidden being held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces reported on Oct. 19 that 203 people are known to have been taken hostage during the devastating terror attacks perpetrated by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7. Between 100 to 200 people remain unaccounted for, with the remains of the murdered still being found.
The actual number of hostages held captive in the Gaza Strip is still unknown. Some 30 of the captives are children under the age of 16, and another 10 to 20 are over the age of 60.
Chabad.org has compiled a list of 202 names from a number of published sources. Most include the Hebrew name and the name of the mother. Where the name of the mother is not reported, we have listed the hostage’s full name, as reported by family members.
While we have done our best to cross reference these names, many cannot be confirmed. Readers are invited to suggest additions or corrections in the response box at the bottom of this page.
Join us in praying to G‑d that all the hostages be returned from captivity safely and speedily. Amen!

Thank you for providing this list of names of the Yidden being held hostage.
I happened to notice that one of the above names is Gili ben Orna. However, when I crossed-referenced to another list, written in Hebrew, the name is גילי בת אורנה.
Should the above name be corrected to Gili bas Orna (vs ben)?
May we hear of Yeshuos b’karov.
Dovid
Where did you find this hebrew list?
Please add Daniel Perez
Daniel Shimon ben sharon
Soldier taken from tank. He is from South Africa and father of Rav Doron Perez.
It would seem that the proper names of the Bibas boys are missing, it just says Boy Bibas, 3 years & Boy Bibas, 9 months.
They are Ariel ben Shiri, 3 & Kfir ben Shiri, 9 months.
Please update so everyone can pray for them as well.
Do you have this list in hebrew?
thank you for putting this together.
My relative, Eliya Cohen was taken hostage. Please add Eliya Hakohen ben Sigalit
Thanks
