The mother and daughter are the first of over 200 kidnapped people to be freed.

The mother and daughter, Judith and Natalie Raanan, are the first of over 200 kidnapped people to be freed. Both the Islamist group and President Biden said mediation by Qatar played a role. We hear reaction from the family’s Rabbi, Dov Klein.
