SAVE AN EMPTY SEAT AT YOUR SHABBAT TABLE FOR A HOSTAGE HELD BY HAMAS

Jewish tradition teaches us that it is our duty to work towards the release of the hostages. The Talmud calls this work a mitzvah rabbah, a great mitzvah.

As we enter Shabbat this week, and each week until the captives are safely and securely returned, National Council of Jewish Women invites you to use the kit below to save an empty seat at your Shabbat table for one of the 200+ hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza.

While the hostages are unable to join their own families or prepare their own tables, we can ensure there are seats saved in their honor at Shabbat tables around the world.

And together, we can add our voices in prayer for all who are kidnapped by Hamas.
