Liz Hirsh Naftali is the great-aunt of Abigail Mor Edan, a three-year-old who was held hostage in Gaza for 51 days. Abigail was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, from her Kibbutz, Kfar Azza, after her parents were both murdered in front of her earlier that morning by Hamas terrorists.

Since October 7th, Liz has been a fervent advocate for Abigail’s release and for all the hostages held by Hamas terrorists. She has embarked on extensive travels, engaging with world leaders, meeting with congressional leaders, and delivering impactful speeches in congressional meetings, private gatherings, and through multiple media outlets. Even after Abigail's release on November 26th as part of a US - Qatar brokered deal that saw the return of 109 children and women, Liz remains unwavering in her dedication to tirelessly advocate for the 100 hostages who remain in Gaza.

Liz is the host and creator of The Capitol Coffee Connection podcast, a platform where she invites prominent, diverse leaders to talk about the common thread that binds us all together - our shared experiences, stories, dreams, and the very essence of our heart and humanity - leaving out politics and policy.

Liz operates The Hirsh Collective, a commercial real estate firm in Los Angeles. She serves on the U.S. Commission for American Heritage Abroad, the RAND Corp. Global Emerging Risks Board, Oakwood School and IKAR Boards in Los Angeles, California. Liz is the mother of 5 amazing children.


Liz's Notes from the Sidelines:

  1. It's important for kids to see their parents doing good in the world.
  2. It's important for kids to learn to take care of themselves; it starts with doing chores.
  3. We don't want to be taken care of or given anything; go out and do it yourself.
  4. People get so worked up about politics and news. To bring positivity into your life, listen to inspiring podcasts like The Capitol Coffee Connection and Sideline Sisters, and get out of the joy deficit.
  5. October 7, 2023, was the greatest day of killing in the Jewish state of Israel.
  6. Regular daily life in Israel includes siren alerts, missiles, and running to safe rooms.
  7. There is so much trauma; we all have it.
  8. October 7 was a humanitarian crisis, not a Jewish attack.
  9. Show vulnerability without pride and let people help you.
  10. Find the balance between engaging in the fight and taking care of yourself. We have to fight for the things we have to fight for, but we need to take care of ourselves and fill our cups so we can fight.
  11. We must do the work with love. Ask yourself what love you can bring to the fight.
  12. Believe in HOPE and go make it happen.
  13. Go find your passion and do it.
  14. We can all find resilience within us.
  15. We need heart and humanity everywhere, regardless of race, religion, and politics.
