What We Inherit, What We Begin

While Hamas has the hostages in captivity
We will never give up fighting for their liberty.
The smiling faces of the hostages in the posters, are from their lives before
October 7 – engraved in our collective memory, for evermore.
133 innocent souls trapped in terror tunnels underground.
Are they alive or dead ? When will they be found?
I am haunted by their silenced cries,
As I witness the world possessed by a Jew-hatred web of lies.
Their families have had no communication for so, so many days
but the heartbreak and longing is there, always.
No visits from the ICRC?
Where is their humanity!
The Hamas terrorists must be defeated
So that this nightmare will not be repeated.
The mission to Bring Them Home must prevail
Each person is a precious pearl – a citizen of Israel.
There must be an end to their deprivation
A light at the end of the tunnel to their liberation.
At your Pesach Seder table, place another chair
In honour of a hostage you hope will be there.
Am Yisrael Chai
