Every year, on the eve of Yom Kippur, thousands gather at the Kotel for Selichot - prayers that prepare us spiritually for the holiest day of the Jewish year. This year, freed hostages Agam Berger, Karina Ariev, and Na’ama Levy were among the crowd - living symbols of resilience and hope. As we enter Yom Kippur, may their prayers, and ours, bring healing, unity, and peace. ✡️🌙 Video: @Ostrov_A / X | AIJAC - Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council

Let’s keep Israel strong, together. Invest in Israel bonds today: https://bit.ly/FBisraelbonds | Israel Bonds
