The Jewish world will come together for an hour of Jewish unity and to read the sacred prayer of Kriat Shema on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. Israel time (10:30 a.m. EST) for the release of the hostages and their safe return home.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum will host the live stream alongside Aish. It will begin at 4:30 p.m. with several speakers, including hostage families, and build up to the Kriat Shema, which will be at 5:30 p.m.

The historic event, expected to be the largest Kriat Shema in history, will feature Jewish communities from across the globe, hosted by Aish Chief Media and Marketing Officer Jamie Geller.

A simple act of unity

The event is described as “a simple act of unity which will give a lot of strength to those who need us the most.”
