Israel at War | Statement on the ceasefire and the release of the hostages

Our hearts are filled with gratitude as we welcome home Emily Damari, Romi Gonen, and Doron Steinbrecher. We also honor the memory of Staff Sgt. Oron Shaul z”l, who was killed in the 2014 Gaza war, and whose body was recently recovered after being held by Hamas since. May his memory be a blessing.

While we acknowledge the complicated decisions to bring them home, we continue to pray for the immediate release of the remaining hostages still in captivity.

We share a prayer composed with gratitude by Rabbi Nathalie Lastreger on the redemption of captives, in different languages:
