Summary

Rachel Goldberg is the mother of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, a 23-year-old American citizen from South Florida, who was kidnapped by terrorists at the Supernova Dance Festival. This incident was part of a larger attack that claimed 1,200 lives in northwestern Israel. Hersh was among 250 individuals taken hostage in Gaza following this tragic event.

Rachel has been actively involved in media campaigns and public speaking to advocate for her son's release and highlight the suffering of hostages. She has spoken to Pope Francis, President Joe Biden, Elon Musk and more important figures.

As she waits, she davens to Hashem and does more and more every day to get her son back home.
