This Thursday, the father of one of the 120 Israeli Hostages, will be visiting Sudbury and sharing his son's story with the community.

Avi Ohana lives in Israel with his family and came for a short visit to America to meet people, to advocate and to attend gatherings of unity and prayer, to help achieve the release of his son Yosef Chaim, along with all the other hostages.

Avi's story as a father of one of the kidnapped hostages, is one full of pain but one that is also full hope, faith, courage and a call to action.

Yosef Chaim was working at the Nova Festival and rushed to treat the wounded and refused to leave them stranded by themselves, which was how he ended up being taken hostage.

The event will take place on Thursday July 18th 7pm at the Chabad Center of Sudbury and advance RSVP is required on the website at www.chabadsudbury.com/bringthe...
