This year’s gathering carried added poignancy with the presence of hostage survivor Emily Damari, who spent 471 harrowing days in Hamas captivity before her release.
As she arrived at the Kotel to join in prayer, the vast crowd erupted in cheers, welcoming her with deep affection and respect.
Damari came to the holy site wearing a strip of tape across her chest bearing the number 720—a solemn reminder of the number of days the remaining hostages have endured in captivity. She joined the worshippers in heartfelt prayer for their safe return.
