Shachar Mazal, you are celebrating your first birthday, but your daddy is not here to see it. Your dad, Sagui, an Israeli-American citizen, was brutally kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023, from his home, his kibbutz, his safe haven.
In my 38th week of pregnancy, on Dec. 11 around noon, I was standing in the middle of the hotel where we were staying after Hamas desecrated our home and starting to feel contractions. My first thought was to call Daddy to bring the car around so we could drive to the hospital, but your father wasn’t here—he was kidnapped.
