re-embrace

Welcome back warmly

Re-embrace is to embrace again—to return to something once held, believed, or valued.

The word usually describes reconnecting with ideas, traditions, or identities after a period of distance or rejection: After years abroad, she re-embraced her cultural heritage.

It can also mean literally hugging someone again: The couple re-embraced after the long separation.
