Today is Udi Goldwasser's birthday. He and his wife were supposed to be relaxing in Tel Aviv to celebrate. Instead he is being held captive by Hezbollah along with Eldad Regev.Our hearts and prayers are with their families. It's a shitty way to spend a birthday, but as long as there is another birthday, there is hope.
