Two Years 🎗️

It’s been 2 years too many 🎗️ 733 days too many 🎗️ 43,887 minutes too many 🎗️ 2,633,220 seconds too many 🎗️

Two years since October 7, 2023. Hamas terrorists started this war by murdering over 1,200 people — babies, children, women, men, even Holocaust survivors — in a brutal massacre. That day, 251 people were taken hostage by Palestinian Hamas and held in Gaza. Some were released

When survivors of Hamas captivity reunited with their families. Radiant moments of hope shining through the darkness. 48 hostages remain in Gaza. Remember October 7. 💔🎗️

We’ve been waiting 738 days to say this: Welcome home Alon, Eitan, Guy, Ziv, Gali, Omri, and Matan!

For the first time in two years, Gali, Ziv, Eitan, Matan, Guy & Alon are safe - back in Israel, surrounded by love. We’ve waited for you for so long. There’s no greater joy than saying: Welcome 🇮🇱home.

We’ve been waiting 738 days to say this: Welcome home Elkana, Eitan, Avinatan, David, Ariel, Segev, Yosef-Chaim!

As we breathe, almost for the first time in 738 days with the return of the hostages, stolen by Hamas, held in torture, we mourn, we grieve the loss of the hostages who did not survive Hamas’ evil. May their families recover. May they rest in peace. May their memories be a

They’re home 💙 From Kfar Aza, Nir Oz, and Nahal Oz - taken from their homes, some in pyjamas from their beds. On October 7, Hamas terrorists attacked their kibbutzim - murdering, burning and kidnapping families. Today, after endless days in darkness, they’re finally free.

Two years ago, on Simchat Torah, they were torn from their families. Today, on Simchat Torah, they are finally home. Back in the arms of their loved ones — a true full circle of joy and hope. Welcome home 🇮🇱✨

The tears, the hugs, the hope. Moments we will never forget. 24 hostages are still in captivity. We won’t give up on anyone. Until the last hostage comes home 🎗️

We dreamt of seeing this moment for 738 days. Of former hostage Omri Miran swinging his daughters around with his wife Lishay right beside him. All of them smiling and free. This vision is what kept them alive. It kept us alive. Their family is finally whole again.

On International Children’s Day, we remember Kfir and Ariel Bibas, who were kidnapped along with their mother Shiri to Gaza, where they were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists. They were among the youngest victims of the October 7, 2023, attack. Like all children, they

Students should have the freedom to learn in school without having to fear for their lives. Period. We must never accept senseless violence that leaves families and communities shattered. It pierces the very soul of our nation. We can and must do more to prevent gun violence and

There are officially no more hostages in captivity in Gaza.

Tonight is the most special Shabbat, because it is an ordinary one again. Tonight is the first Shabbat we aren’t looking up at the light on the screen as the clock ticks up. We are looking down at the candles as they light up our souls. Tonight is the first Shabbat we aren’t
