The return of the last hostage in Gaza, discovered through dental records, is connected to the Torah portion discussing the return of Joseph’s bones to Israel. This event, occurring in the month of Shvat, is seen as a sign of the imminent return of Mashiach ben Yosef, bringing peace, goodness, and blessings to Israel. The month of Shvat is interpreted as a month of good news, peace, and the coming of the Messiah.
