25 ViZionaries: Ophyr Hanan – No. 7

Ophyr Hanan, recognized as No. 7 in "25 ViZionaries" by The Jerusalem Post, co-founded the Bring Them Home Now Hostages Forum on October 8, 2023. This initiative, supported by the Jewish National Fund-USA, evolved from a grassroots effort into a global movement advocating for the release of hostages. Hanan represented the cause internationally, engaging with institutions like the International Criminal Court in The Hague and various media and community leaders to maintain global focus on the hostages. Additionally, she assisted in recovering and preserving personal belongings for families affected by the attacks. Hanan now serves as the International Marketing Manager at HaGal Sheli (My Wave), where she promotes surf therapy trauma programs globally through strategic storytelling.
