Prominent Orthodox Israeli Rabbi Yitzchok Zilberstein advised a mother not to break Shabbat to meet her daughter who was being released from Hamas captivity. The mother sought guidance from the rabbi on how to behave with her daughter, as her soul yearned to see her. Rabbi Zilberstein suggested sending a photo and a letter instead, and they could meet after Shabbat. He emphasized the importance of gratitude to the Holy One for the miracle of her daughter's survival. While he did not explicitly forbid her from traveling on Shabbat, he encouraged her to hold herself back.
