Omer Shem Tov, 22, was taken hostage by Hamas from the Nova music festival on October 7 and survived 505 days in captivity, much of it isolated and alone. His parents, Shelly and Malki Shem Tov, founded the Hostages and Missing Families Forum just 24 hours after he was kidnapped. For almost 18 months, they advocated, lobbied, campaigned, marched, protested, and prayed, leaving no stone unturned in the efforts to bring their son home. They remain committed to fighting for the release of every last hostage held in Gaza.
