#BRINGTHEMHOMENOW
The long and agonizing wait has finally ended - Welcome Home, Evyatar!
After enduring 738 days of unimaginably brutal captivity in the hands of Hamas terrorists, Evyatar’s return is nothing short of miraculous. We all witnessed through tears of joy as Evyatar emerged from the darkness to begin his path to recovery. Today, we celebrate Evyatar’s safe return to the warm embrace of his family and his country, along with all the other remaining, living hostages. People around the world join in thanking G-d for this extraordinary day, and unite in hope and prayer for lasting peace among nations in the Middle East.
