Popular Israeli actress and children’s entertainer Michal Weizmann, widely known as Michal HaKtanah, made a public commitment to fully observe Shabbos this past weekend, dedicating it as a zechus for the return of the hostages held in Gaza.
“This Shabbos, I chose to stop,” Weizmann wrote on her Instagram account. “A Shabbos of Rosh Chodesh. A Shabbos of new beginnings. A Shabbos I chose to keep in full, turning off my phone, opening my heart, and letting the light in.”
Weizmann explained the intention behind her observance: “I kept this Shabbos for the sake of our hostages, to bring them home now! For our soldiers, that they should return in peace. For my children. And for an entire nation that needs healing.”
She concluded with a heartfelt message of faith and unity: “It was a Shabbos of tikkun, of tefillah, of a silence that shakes the heavens. I’m taking this step with complete faith. Because when we are united and bring light, darkness disappears on its own. I promise you…very soon we’ll see miracles and wonders!”
