Amit Soussana (r), who was held hostage by Hamas and released hugs a friend near her house where she was kidnapped during the Oct. 7 attack on the kibbutz, on Jan. 29, 2024, in Kfar Aza, Israel. Many of the towns and kibbutzim attacked on that day remain completely evacuated, with their residents having relocated to other parts of Israel.

The Oct. 7 attacks on Israel displaced tens of thousands of Israelis from their kibbutzim near Gaza. Since then, rabbis have been crisscrossing the country offering trauma-informed care to victims.
