Adopt-A-Hostage Campaign

אין מצוה גדולה כפדיון שבויים

THERE IS NO GREATER COMMANDMENT THAN THE REDEMPTION OF CAPTIVES

Shulchan Aruch, YD, 252:1

The MirYam Institute Adopt-A-Hostage Campaign enables communities around the world to directly partner with, support and sponsor individual hostage families whose loved ones remain in Hamas captivity. 

On October 7th, 2023, Hamas kidnapped more than 240 individuals from Israel into the Gaza Strip, including men, women and children.

Despite the release, rescue and tragic death of some of those hostages, at least 134 remain in captivity inside Gaza.  

The Adopt-A-Hostage campaign will enable the families to keep the fight for their loved ones at the forefront of the international public legislative agendas. 

Participating Communities Will:

  • Adopt a hostage family.

  • Support and partner with the hostage family to generate campaigns that keep the plight of their loved ones at the forefront of public consciousness. 

  • Provide Tax-Deductible financial support to their designated hostage family via The MirYam Institute portal below (All donations from U.S. sources are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law).

Adopting Communities Responsibilities Include:

  • Designation of select community leaders to directly coordinate with hostage family members.

  • Financially sponsor the efforts of the hostage family - including efforts identified by the families themselves - until their family members return home.

  • Build local, national and international publicity campaigns by the community on behalf of the adopted hostage family.

  • Arrange for local national and international media, social media and in-person appearances by the adopted hostage family.

  • Arrange and coordinate efforts between hostage families and elected officials and influencers - local and national.

Capitol Hill Summit & Embassy March

Communities will converge on Capitol Hill and will fan out across relevant Embassies to impress the urgency of a hostage release upon their elected officials and international representatives.
