New York, NY– A painful chapter for the Jewish people finally comes to a close. For 843 days, we took to the streets and demanded: bring all the hostages home, now! Women of Reform Judaism holds the family of Ran Gvili close in our hearts as his remains soon arrive in Israel for a proper burial. 

WRJ CEO Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch reflected

“These years are marked by the resilience and advocacy of ordinary people who never ceased to demand that all of our sisters and brothers come home.”
