    Bring Them Home: Do Your Part And Make The Calls

    Since the terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7, the son of a Member of Genesis Business Humanity Club has been held hostage by Hamas.

    Ruby Chen’s son, Itay, was taken captive by Hamas along with hundreds of others on Oct. 7. He doesn’t know if his son is even still alive.

    The 19-year-old was serving with Israel Defense Forces at the country’s southern border when he was captured by Hamas and taken hostage into Gaza along with hundreds of others on Oct. 7, according to his father. 

    Itay is one of eight American citizens still being held captive by Hamas, Ruby said. 

    In an interview with Scripps News, Ruby said his son is “multi-talented” and the “life of the party.” 

    ITAY CHEN (MISSING PERSONS CENTER)

    He said his son can sing, dance and knows an array of card tricks. He hopes, perhaps, Itay was able to get his hands on a deck of cards and is keeping everyone’s minds busy by showing off his card magic as they remain captive. 

    Ruby said since his son went missing, he has gone to Congress and met with President Joe Biden, who he said gave his word he’s doing everything he can to bring the Americans held hostage by Hamas home. He was also among hostage family members chosen to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.  During the interview, he held up an hourglass. Ruby said he carries it with him around Washington to represent the urgency needed to set all the hostages free.

    “The U.N. resolution cannot be so one-sided,” said Ruby, speaking about the U.N. Security Council’s efforts. “Why is that resolution not including the immediate release of all the hostages?” 

    But Ruby is not losing hope. 

    Thousands of families are suffering, while millions also suffer in many ways. Imagine if your child or grandchild was among the hostages, your mother or father, grandmother, or grandfather. It is upon us all to do all we can to keep the pressure on government officials to bring every hostage home.

    We urge you to go to One Minute A Day, a platform that makes it easy to call your congressman or senator and allows you to receive daily reminders to keep making those calls.

    The numbers matter.

    You are more powerful than you may believe, as every call made to United States elected officials, whether you speak to someone or leave a message, is tallied by a congressional aide. Every call counts.

    Please sign up here today, then make a quick call or leave a voicemail and demand the immediate release of all the hostages in Gaza. An easy and simple act, just 1 min of your day, is the most effective action you can do.

    You can also sign up for reminders each day, and you can spread the word through your business networks, family, friends, and communities.

    We will keep you updated on Itay Chen, as his father and family continue to fight everyday for his release and the release of all hostages.
