Two years since October 7th: A conversation with Eli Sharabi
About this episode
Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/CBASX3hibmQ
As we approach the two-year mark of October 7, we bring you a conversation that lays bare the human cost of what happened on that day — and in the time since. Eli Sharabi was kidnapped from his home and held hostage in Gaza for 491 days. He speaks to Yonit and Jonathan about surviving captivity, the unimaginable loss of his wife, two daughters and brother, and the strength he found to carry on. Now an advocate for those still held in Gaza, Eli reflects on the choices he made — and the quiet, relentless work of rebuilding a life. His new book, Hostage, is out now.
