The Jewish Agency for Israel and the World Zionist Organization are calling on Jews around the world to set aside a seat at the seder table and say a prayer for Israelis missing since the 1982 War in Lebanon and for four Israelis kidnapped by Hezbollah forces last October. A suggested prayer is available at http://www.jafi.org.il/prayer/index.htm.
