Rachel Goldberg-Polin is an American-Israeli Jewish educator and the New York Times bestselling author of When We See You Again, a searing portrait of a mother’s grief in the wake of unthinkable tragedy.
Rachel became one of the most visible voices of the hostage crisis after October
7, 2023, when her son, Hersh, was stolen by Hamas at the Nova Music Festival. In the months that followed, she and her husband, Jon Polin, became full-time advocates, speaking around the world about Hersh’s abduction and working tirelessly—in public and behind the scenes—for the release of all those taken captive.
Rachel was born and raised in Chicago and lives in Jerusalem.
She and her husband Jon are the parents of three children.
