Meet the Hostages' Parents
How can the voices of the parents inspire us to civic and spiritual action for their release?
About
Using moving and powerful clips from two episodes of Israel Story’s Wartime Diaries podcast series, we will meet the parents of two hostages—Hersh Goldberg-Polin and Alon Ohel, both of whom were abducted from the Nova music festival on October 7—and hear about the different ways in which they take action toward the release of their sons.
The resource includes an educator guide.
