116 Days Missing

In this time of crisis, as always-Jewish Federations of New Jersey and Delaware along with the North American Jewish Community, join hand and heart with the people of Israel. They are our brothers and sisters. Our support is unshakable. We are one people, sharing one history and one destiny.

With this blue ribbon, we pledge that the values of our people - commitment to democracy, respect for human rights, belief in the sanctity of human life, and the pursuit of justice and peace - will always be honored.

With this blue ribbon, we ask for the immediate release of the three young Israeli soldiers - Adi Avitan, Benny Avraham and Amar Souad - who were kidnapped by the Hezbollah while patrolling the Israel-Lebanon border on October 7, 2000. International relief efforts have been denied. They remain in captivity. With this blue ribbon, we stand with Israel, for the entire world to see.
