In one of the most powerful episodes of Unpacking Israeli History, host Noam Weissman sits down with Eli Sharabi, survivor of 491 days as a Hamas hostage, to share his story of faith, endurance, and unimaginable loss. In his bestselling memoir Hostage, Eli recounts life 50 meters underground—facing starvation and terror while clinging to small acts of hope.
He speaks about refusing to abandon his Jewish identity, finding strength through prayer, and rebuilding life after learning his wife and two daughters were murdered on October 7 and burying his brother, killed in Hamas captivity. Eli’s message—for Jews and non-Jews alike—is clear: stand united against terror, confront ignorance with truth, and never let despair win.
