Overview
- The four men — Segev Kalfon, Matan Angrest, Nimrod Cohen, and Bar Kuperstein — visited the Queens gravesite with relatives to give public thanks after their release from Gaza.
- Participants observed customary practices at the Ohel, including giving charity, lighting candles, reciting Tehillim, and writing personal notes of gratitude.
- Chabad figures hosted and guided the visit, with Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky and Rabbi Simon Jacobson accompanying the group and offering words of support.
- Logistics were coordinated by Rabbi Mendy Naftalin in cooperation with Israeli Prime Minister’s Office liaisons Yaron Cohen and Yael Goren-Hezkiya.
- Attendees prayed for others still held in Gaza, and the gathering at the widely visited pilgrimage site also drew philanthropist Dan Loeb, who offered encouragement.
