to light a yahrzeit candle on Shabbat for the hostages and those who were murdered.

I have never stopped. I can’t believe that 9 months in I am still lighting a yahrzeit candle every Friday night. I will keep doing this until they are all home.

Not from me, but from all who were murdered and kidnapped.
