"We have to continue to the second stage and make sure all our loved ones come back," freed captive Noa Argamani said to the crowd. Marking 500 days since the October 7 massacre, the Washington Hebrew Congregation was filled with a national prayer for the return of the hostages due to efforts from the Jewish Federations of North America on Tuesday. Hamas captivity survivors and their family members addressed a crowd of hundreds of people who showed up in support. Among the survivors who presented were Noa Argamani and Ilana Gritzewsky, both of whom have partners who remain in Gaza captivity, Avinatan Or and Matan Zangauker. In addition, Gal Dalal, brother of hostage Guy Gilboa Dalal, also spoke, in addition to Moshe Lavi, brother-in-law of hostage Omri Miran.
