An intimate night with Eliya Cohen, held captive for 505 days, and Ziv Abud, survivor of the “Death Shelter” on October 7th.
About this Event

Join us for a powerful and intimate evening as we host Eliya Cohen who was held in captivity for 505 days before his release and Ziv Abud who escaped alive from what became known as the ‘Death Shelter’ — a place Eliya later thought she had not survived.
Together they will share their deeply personal story of loss, strength, and hope.
Eliya will speak about his time in captivity — the fear, the uncertainty, and the inner strength that helped him survive. Ziv will share what it meant to wait for the person she loves, and the countless efforts she made to fight for his return, holding on to hope when nothing was guaranteed.
Together, they tell a story not only of survival, but of love, faith, and the human ability to endure and believe, even in the darkest moments.
