Summary
On October 7th, Rinat got a chilling text from her father, telling her that arabs started to break into their home. He has been kidnapped by Hamas since, being held captive with 240 others undergound in Gaza.
Rinat and her sister, Natalie, came to the US to tell the world their story.
Even though emotionally this has been brutal, Rinat pushes on and also tells us who she is finding her strength from.
Special thank you to Cafe Aronne for hosting us.
