Gilad is One of Us

This Shabbat, March 21,
will be the 1,000th day
in captivity for kidnapped
Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Captured by Hamas terrorists
who had tunneled into Israel
from Gaza, Gilad has not been
seen since. In violation of
international law, Hamas has
not allowed visits, packages
or communication through
the International Red Cross.

Right now, negotiations for
Gilad's release are at a critical
stage. May we soon celebrate
his freedom.
