“I Won’t Turn It Off Until Omer Comes Back”
Regarding the meeting, she recounted: “Last Hanukkah, I lit candles with Sheli and Malki Shem Tov, Omer’s parents, at their home. We hoped Omer would return soon. Sheli showed me then that the light in Omer’s room was on and told me, ‘I won’t turn it off until Omer comes back.’ A year has passed, and the light is still on.”

In another photo she posted, she captured three parents of kidnapped individuals and wrote: “The parents of the three kidnapped Omers simply hugging and hoping. Omer Natoura, Omer Shem Tov, Omer Wankert.”
