Braids for Agam – On the Steps

We gathered on the steps to express gratitude for the safe return of the hostages: Agam Berger, Arbel Yehoud, Gadi Moses, Thenna Pongsak, Sathian Suwannakham, Sriaoun Watchara, Seathao Bannawat, and Rumnao Surasak.

In celebration of Agam’s homecoming, students wore braids tied with yellow ribbons as a tribute to her resilience and the quiet strength she showed during her time in captivity. Since November, we have learned that many returning hostages had their hair braided by Agam, as she offered support to others at the times of their release even while she remained behind.

Together, we recited Matir Assurim and were deeply moved as our third grade led us in Mizmor L’Todah, a song of gratitude, filling our school with love, thanks, and hope for those still waiting to come home. Click here for more photos
