When you think of Wonder Woman, you think of courage, justice, and the determination to stand for what’s right—qualities that resonate deeply with Modern-Day Esthers like you. So when Gal Gadot, the Israeli actress known worldwide for her portrayal of Wonder Woman, appeared at the Golden Globes on January 7, 2025, it sparked a thought: Should she have worn the Yellow Ribbon Pin, symbolizing the fight for freedom and the safe return of hostages?
The Yellow Ribbon Pin campaign has become a powerful way for people around the world to stand with those held captive, reminding their families and loved ones that they are not forgotten. The pin is more than just a piece of jewelry; it’s a visible declaration of hope, unity, and action.
Gal Gadot, who has always been vocal about her Israeli heritage and her belief in justice, appeared radiant at the Golden Globes. But would wearing the pin have sent a stronger message? In a moment when the world’s attention was focused on her, it could have been an opportunity to shine a light on the urgent need to bring hostages home.
As Modern-Day Esthers, we are called to take a stand, just as Queen Esther did when she approached the king to save her people. Each of us has an opportunity to shine a light in the darkness and be a voice for the voiceless. The Yellow Ribbon Pin is one way to do just that.
