On February 8, 2025, after 491 days in Hamas captivity, Eli Sharabi emerged from the tunnels of Gaza, a shadow of his former self, and finally made his way home to Israel, only to learn the devastating news that his wife and daughters had been killed on October 7.

In his highly anticipated book, HOSTAGE, Sharabi shares his harrowing journey of survival, resilience, and unwavering hope. This powerful appearance offers a rare, firsthand account of strength in the face of unimaginable darkness. 

The first memoir to be published by a survivor of Hamas captivity, HOSTAGE was an instant bestseller in Israel, breaking the record for fastest-selling book in the history of Hebrew publishing.

Presenting Sponsor - St. Louis Friends of Israel
