A Day of Joy and Celebration - Elkana is home!

Dear Friends and Valued Partners,

Shalom from Israel!

What a day! The 20 living hostages have been released and returned home to Israel. With the help and support of our friends in the USA and President Donald Trump, our brothers are home. You all have been praying! We praise God for answered prayer.

We are in tears to share that Elkana Bohbot, the husband of our colleague Rebecca, is back home! Here in Mevaseret Zion where our office, and Elkana and Rebecca's home is located, the streets are packed with Israeli and American flags and people celebrating. We can hear the joy from our office. It's an amazing day here in Israel, and we invite you to celebrate with us!

Ceasefire and What's Next

The ceasefire in Gaza is now in effect. We pray it will last.

And tourism is coming back fast - last week was our busiest in two years! We had 3 conferences with hundreds of people each, plus many other tour groups.

We look forward to having you back with us as well.

Wishing you a joyful Feast of Tabernacles and a blessed Simchat Torah!

Blessings from Jerusalem,

Samuel Smadja
