More than 400 days and nights have passed since my then 19-year-old daughter Naama was taken hostage to Gaza. Naama, a fun-loving teenager, loved by all, embodies the values of kindness, tolerance and compassion. From volunteering at a kindergarten for the children of asylum seekers to working to build bridges between Israeli and Palestinian children through the “Hands of Peace” organization, Naama is an idealist who believes in building a better world, not through her words but through her actions.
