Our joy is incomplete

740 days.

That’s how long it took for Inbar Hayman to come home from G*za.

She didn't come back the way we wanted her to, returned in a coffin. But back to her rightful resting place.

Inbar was 27. A graffiti artist known as PINK, she filled walls with color and courage.

Her art was defiant in that it was public, bright, & free. The kind of beauty you can’t cage.

And maybe that’s why her story hits so deep: because everything about her life was about expression, and everything about her de*th was about erasure.

And yet - even after 740 days of silence, they couldn’t erase her.

Not her color. Not her name. Not her place in our hearts. Not our impatience for her body to be restored to her family and her people.

Inbar was the last female hostage, and her return closes a circle - not of comfort, but of conscience.

A reminder that until every soul is accounted for, our joy is incomplete.

A reminder that creativity, beauty, and freedom are Jewish acts of living.

May her memory be a blessing, a protest, and a promise:

that we will keep bringing light to walls of darkness.

יהי זכרה ברוך.
