The Three Empty Chairs Project: Bringing home the kidnapped Israeli Soldiers

Congregations are encouraged to leave empty chairs symbolizing the three missing soldiers during celebrations, holiday services or other events. This gesture not only sends a message to the families of the missing soldiers, but also serves to connect the Jewish people to the state of Israel. Chairs may be designated with Israeli flags, banners with the soldier's names or another special symbol. SOS encourages individuals to take pictures of their Three Empty Chairs display and send it to pictures.sos@gmail.com.
