A special Purim megillah reading was held at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv on Thursday evening, led by Rabbi Tamir Granot and marked by prayers for all hostages held by Hamas in Gaza to return home.
The event began with a Torah class by Rabbi Itamar Eldar ahead of the megillah reading, alongside a speech by Meirav Leshem-Gonen, mother of freed hostage Romi Gonen, and Rabbi Granot, in thanks for the miracles and prayers for the future.
