May Hashem help him be found soon. Please give to Rabbi Meir Baal Haness tzedaka in his zechus.
אמר רבי בנימין, הכל בחזקת סומין, עד שהקדוש ברוך הוא מאיר את עיניהם. מן הכא, “ויפקח אלוקים את עיניה ותרא באר מים, ותלך ותמלא את החמת”.
ליתן צדקה לכבוד רבי מאיר בעל הנס ולומר:
אלקא דמאיר ענני, אלקא דמאיר ענני, אלקא דמאיר ענני.
בזכות הצדקה שאני נודב לכבוד התנא רבי מאיר בעל הנס, זכותו יגן עלינו, ייתכן שהם מוצאים את אבידתי.
