I'm not Jewish but I wanted to do the same, I basically said I'm thinking of them and the whole worldwide Jewish community and the past awful year. And added a broken heart and love.

The thing I'm struggling with is that it's not over, as the hostages still not returned. I'm not sure whether to reference that.

I thought just keep it simple and straightforward. Personally I didn't want it to get long and complicated- just unqualified love and empathy. That's what I was trying for anyway.
It's hard to get right. There isn't a right way to say these things.

I had a good response from the friend I particularly wanted to reach out to and we are having a wider discussion now. I think and hope she realises I am an ally.

Hope you found the words @scandiva

A very short “thinking of you today” would go a long way, personally speaking.
