Goldberg-Polin, who has become a well-known voice in the Jewish and Israeli world since October 7, 2023, when Hersh was taken captive by Hamas terrorists, speaks about the challenge of being active, present and even thankful in the aftermath of Hersh’s death at the hands of his captors in Gaza.
She speaks about the open nature of the family’s grief, as she and her husband, Jon Polin, remain active advocates for the remaining hostages while grappling with their deep mourning in the public eye.
