From the heart of an ancient struggle “light” against “darkness”—today, we celebrate a victory of hope. After two years of pain, 20 souls walk free from Gaza. Gali and Ziv Berman, brothers reunited; Omri Miran, holding his wife again; Alon Ohel, welcomed by a world that never stopped praying.

These hostages of October 7, 2023, are home, their freedom won through fragile peace and unyielding love.
Jewish people everywhere, joined by peace-loving hearts of all faiths—Muslims, Christians, and seekers—stood together. We lit candles, shared prayers, and chose hope over hate, healing over vengeance. In Hostages Square, where tears met song, we saw the light prevail.

Today, as families embrace and Simchat Torah melodies rise, we declare: The light endures. It grows. It will lead us to peace as boundless as the stars over Jerusalem.
Am Yisrael Chai. Let there be light. 🌅✡️🕊️
