The released hostages have stressed the importance of staying united as a people. Additionally, some of the hostages, even in captivity, found great strength and consolation in Shabbat .
Whether you’re religious or non-religious or somewhere in between, we are asking Jews everywhere to unite and bring the hostages into our homes on Shabbat by dedicating one Shabbat practice for their release. By uniting in the power of Shabbat let us try to stir the heavens to help bring them home.
