Bay Area Jewish community holding onto hope for hostage deal ahead of Hanukkah
Briefly

"Everyone in the Jewish community has been on edge for more than a year now waiting for our hostages to come home, so the idea of a hostage deal is getting nearer, especially towards the holidays and the end of the year, I think everyone has their fingers and toes crossed."
"My thought is this is going to happen. We've all been praying for it for almost a year and a half."
"The deal, according to officials involved in the mediation, would include the exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, with 30 Israeli hostages to be released in the first phase, half of whom are believed to be alive."
