It's been 826 days (as of Sunday) since Cpl. Gilad Schalit was kidnapped and three years since he last spent Rosh Hashana with his family. Please take the time to wish Gilad and his family a shana tova, a year in which Gilad will - hopefully - celebrate his freedom, as will all missing and / or unaccounted for IDF soldiers. We will make every effort to pass your messages to the Schalit family. A number of messages will be selected and displayed in the body of this article.
