A Heartfelt Prayer at the Rebbe's Resting Place

Noa Argamani, recently returned from captivity, visited the grave of the Lubavitcher Rebbe in New York last Friday. This visit came nine months after her father's visit to the same site. Argamani prayed, offered photos of the captives, and wished for their swift return home.

Accompanying her were the mother of police officer Raan Goili, whose body is held by Hamas; Eli Bibas, father to Yarden, along with his daughter-in-law Shiri and grandchildren Kfir and Ariel, all kidnapped; Ayelet Samrano, mother of Yonatan who was kidnapped and killed; the brother of Oron Shaul, kidnapped in Operation Protective Edge; the mother of Omar Shem Tov, currently held captive; and the mother of Ohad Yahalomi, as well as the grandmother of Eitan, recently freed.

Argamani expressed gratitude for her release and recalled how her father visited the site in hope for her freedom. After that wish was fulfilled, she felt compelled to pray for the release of the remaining captives. During the initial days of the conflict, her father Yaakov held her photo at the site, praying for his daughter's safe return – which thankfully occurred.

Argamani, as known, accompanied Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara on a trip to Washington. She attended his speech in Congress, receiving applause from the audience.
