Several dozen activists of the Shalit campaign's youth headquarters held a Rosh Hashana dinner across from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Jerusalem home Friday.
The activists began the meal with a prayer for the safe and swift return of the Hamas held soldier. The Shalit family did not attend the dinner.

The activists said they were disappointed by the fact that Netanyahu did not come out to speak to them: "We are trying to remind Netanyahu, who is having a nice holiday dinner with his family, that there is a family here that's missing its son for the fourth successive Rosh Hashana, Amir Goldschmidt, who took part in the dinner, told Ynet.
"We're not here to celebrate. We are waiting for results."
The Shalit campaign has been holding holiday dinners in front of the prime minister's home every Rosh Hashana and Passover since Shalit's 2006 abduction.
