Jewish Federations of North America are thrilled and relieved that Edan Alexander, an American-Israeli citizen, is being reunited with his parents and two siblings after more than 580 days in captivity.
 

Jewish Federations have prayed 19 months for the return of every person taken hostage by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023. Along the way we have rejoiced at those who have returned home safely and mourned those who have not. We will continue those prayers until the remaining 58 are released.
