Segev Kalfon was kidnapped from the Nova Music Festival on October 7, 2023, and survived 738 days of captivity in Gaza before his return home. Segev, 27, was the last Israeli hostage released alive from Gaza, on October 15, 2025.
Society Hill Synagogue’s Israel Connections Subcommittee invites you to join us as Segev shares his remarkable story of resilience, determination, and faith that sustained him in captivity. He will reflect on the strength, purpose, and hope that can emerge even in the darkest of circumstances.
Join us at 3:00 pm on Sunday, April 26, for this unique opportunity to hear Segev’s story and to engage in conversation during a moderated Q&A following his remarks.
After Segev’s talk, we will hold a brief commemoration of Yom HaZikaron, Israel’s Remembrance Day for Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism, which this year falls just days before Segev’s visit.
We are honored to welcome Segev to Philadelphia for what promises to be a meaningful and powerful afternoon.
Register today (Advance Registration Required) at societyhillsynagogue.org/segev — we hope you will join us.
A reception with Israeli hors d’oeuvres in the Social Hall will follow.
🎟 $18 Society Hill Synagogue Members
🎟 $36 General Public
🎟 $180 Sponsorship
🎟 Free for Students with ID
All proceeds support Segev’s recovery.
