Yesterday was a very moving day at the Migdal Ohr educational institutions, when the mother of Idan Shtivi, who was taken hostage to Gaza, met Israel Prize Recipient, Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman and the children of the Migdal Ohr educational institutions.
Idan, 28 years of age, an amateur photographer and student, came to the Nova Festival to photograph the party, when the vicious terrorist attack began. He escaped in his car, but was caught by terrorists in an ambush. His friends were murdered and he was taken captive to Gaza. Idan has been held hostage by the Hamas for 159 days.
The Rabbi encouraged Dalit, Idan’s mother, and told her that he and the thousands of pupils at Migdal Ohr pray every day for the release of the hostages from the Hamas captivity. Rabbi Grossman: “We desperately pray for the salvation of God and pray for Idan’s safe and complete return and the return of all the dear hostages.” The Rabbi blessed Dalit that she would hear good news soon.
A particularly moving moment was when the Migdal Ohr children’s choir sang and dedicated the song Let It Be to the mother. We all pray for the safe return of Idan and all the 134 hostages still in captivity.
“Let is be, let it be
Please let it be
Everything we ask for, let it be”
