R4TL Reading/Wyomissing

"It's finally October 8th 2023 - It is with enormous gratitude to all of our leaders and members of the global R4TL community that we were able to achieve this accomplishment. We have shown that light wins over darkness and good wins over evil. We have shown that humanity prevails. Across the globe, in all types of weather, in all situations Jews and nonJews came together to advocate for the release of all of the hostages. We remained non political, we came together as a community, we became a family."

Avinatan is one of seven siblings. He is known for his intelligence, humor, and culinary talent. His loved ones fight tirelessly for his freedom—and for the freedom of every hostage.
