Thousands are participating this morning (Monday) in a special holiday prayer for Hoshana Rabbah at the Nova Festival site in the Re'im parking lot.

The prayer, led by the Tikva Forum of Hostage Families and the Association of Community Rabbis under the presidency of Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, is held for victory and the safe return of all the hostages.

Among the thousands participating in the prayer are also bereaved families, reserve soldiers and Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu.
