150 days have passed since October 17, and the fight to return the abducted and missing persons is still at its peak. There is no person in Israel who does not feel the pain of the families of the kidnapped and missing, and every day we see more and more celebs trying to raise awareness for them.

This morning, Bar Refaeli also mobilized to raise awareness, when she chose to upload a story in which she wears the "freedom necklace" that is sold on the website of the headquarters of the families for the return of the abducted and missing. In the story series she uploaded, she says that she does not take off the necklace.

The necklace and the pendant were designed for me by the jewelry designer Dalia Israeli. The pendant was designed in the form of a ribbon symbolizing hope for the return of the captives, and in the center is a missing piece of heart, so that we don't forget the hole that opened in all of our hearts on October 7. On the other side of the pendant is the word NOW, which emphasizes the urgent demand for their return. The necklace is sold on the website of the struggle headquarters, and costs NIS 350.
