Orit Mark Ettinger has been through a lot. She lost her father in a terrorist attack (a Hamas terrorist who was released during the Gilad Shalit exchange), her brother while serving in the Mossad, her cousin rescuing Jews on October 7, and her brother in Gaza. Yet, she radiates faith, light, positivity, and hope.Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier, was captured by Hamas in 2006 and held in Gaza for over five years, sparking widespread public campaigns for his release. In 2011, Israel secured his freedom in a controversial deal, exchanging 1,027 Palestinian prisoners, including those convicted of serious crimes. While his return was celebrated as a national priority, the high cost of the exchange raised concerns about security and future kidnappings.More about her work here: https://bit.ly/40Okq4R✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► The Dream Raffle: Win BIGWin a gorgeous $1 Million apartment in Jerusalem!Use code LL for $10 OFFThe Final Bonus raffle includes:Double Your Tickets – 2-for-1 Special!
