Even as the sad anniversary passes, you can continue to support the campaign by spreading the message about the plight of Gilad, Udi and Eldad.

Please leave a message of support for the 3 young men and their families.

The blue ribbon campaign, initiated after Gilad, Udi and Eldad were kidnapped last year is continuing. Blue ribbons are available from the reception of the Beth Weizmann Community Centre, and we encourage all community members to continue wearing ribbons as a reminder and symbol of the 3 young men.

You can also provide a simple visual reminder of Gilad, Udi and Eldad every time you send an email by using the blue ribbon logo:


The rally on June 25 was an initiative of the State Zionist Council of Victoria (SZC) youth and was led by Victoria's Zionist youth movements and the Australasian Union of Jewish Students.

Thank you for your support.
