On Tuesday, Omer Shem Tov, a survivor of captivity at the hands of Hamas, shared a post on Instagram featuring an image of himself donning tefillin.
“Creator of the world, thanks for being with me at every moment. To our heroic soldiers – I was there, I heard you fighting, fighting for us, doing everything to bring us home. Thank you from my whole heart. May the memories of all the fallen heroes be a blessing,” Shem Tov wrote.
Expressing deep gratitude, he continued: “People of Israel, there isn’t and there won’t be a people like us! I saw you fighting for us, and it gave me the strength to believe that I would return home. I felt your prayers, and even in the darkness I had light.”
Shem Tov also paid tribute to Or Danino, who was tragically killed at the Nova Music Festival, writing: “I met Or hours before the party, you came with a great light, like an angel, thanks to you I am here, may your memory be a blessing.”
