A Mother’s Fight for her Hostage Son – with Herut Nimrodi

We want to hear from you. Send questions and comments to [email protected] or message Aviva on X at @avivaklompas.

On October 7, 2023, 21-year-old soldier Tamir Nimrodi was kidnapped from his base near the Gaza border. He was barefoot, in his pajamas, and unarmed when Hamas terrorists dragged him across the border. Since that day, his mother, Herut Nimrodi, has received no sign of life.

In this conversation, originally recorded in June, Herut speaks with host Aviva Klompas about who Tamir is, what she’s learned about his abduction, and what it’s like to live in a constant state of limbo. She opens up about the emotional toll of broken promises, political maneuvering, and the painful uncertainty faced by every hostage family.

Herut’s story is a heartbreaking reminder that behind every headline is a family living this nightmare in real time.

This episode was first released earlier this summer, but it remains just as urgent. Please listen, share widely, and keep the hostages in your thoughts.
