It is with great relief and joy that we share the news that Ofri Brodutch, along with her brothers, Yuval and Oriyah, and her mother Hagar, were among the hostages released today, November 26th.

Ofri was a chanicha at Gesher this past summer in the youngest shichva, and celebrated her 10th birthday on October 8th -- the day after she was taken into Gaza. Ofri is an incredible girl who despite the language barrier, truly made Gesher her home away from home for the summer. Machaneh Gesher has attended rallies and protests to show support and solidarity with the families of the hostages. 

We send our love and support to all of them, as well as to Ofri’s father Avihai Brodutch, as this family begins to recover from the unthinkable.

Our hearts remain with those who are still being held hostage in Gaza, and with their families who are awaiting their release. We recognize the continued difficult days and weeks ahead.

We thank you all for your prayers, well wishes and support. If you would like to send a message to Ofri and her family, here is the link to our Kudoboard board.

Here’s a little message from Ofri.

B’Shalom,
The Camp Gesher Team #bringthemhome
