An open letter to the mothers of Eyal, Gilad and Naftali.

Please, do not leave us. I beg you. We need you. The Jewish people, Israel, the world needs you. In three weeks you changed the world with your grace, your love and your faith. 

Please, stay with us. Let your shining faces lead us to peace. Take on the mantle of leadership and change the world. Fix us, we are broken. We need the leadership of mothers, women who know the cost of bringing life into the world. Mothers who truly understand each life is a universe. 

I looked to you for strength when your sons were abducted. I looked to you for faith as time went by without a word about them. I looked to you when I cried tears of grief as I mourned the loss of three beautiful souls from this world. 

Please lead us. Be our voice. The world listened and will continue to listen to you. 

You are our mothers. 

You are the epitome of a Jewish woman's strength. 

And if the mantle of leadership is too heavy a burden, never forget us. Pray for us. 

Your voices will pierce through all the heavens.
