Overview

On the morning of October 7, 2023, life on Kibbutz Be'eri was calm, ordinary - filled with the laughter of children, the hum of daily chores, and the comfort of community. But within hours, peace turned to chaos as armed militants stormed the kibbutz in one of the most brutal attacks in Israel's history. Families were torn apart, homes burned, and hundreds were taken hostage - among them, Eli Sharabi and his loved ones. In Hostage: Surviving the Unthinkable and Learning to Live Again, Eli Sharabi tells his story with breathtaking honesty - a first-hand account of terror, endurance, and the desperate will to survive when every human instinct is tested. Through vivid, heart-stopping detail, he recounts the moments of captivity - the fear, the confusion, the fleeting sparks of humanity amid the darkness - and the haunting silence of not knowing who had lived, and who had been lost. But Hostage is more than a story of survival. It is a story of faith rediscovered, love redefined, and hope rebuilt. In the aftermath of tragedy, Eli learns to face the impossible - to live not only for those who survived, but for those who didn't. Through grief and healing, he finds strength in family, purpose in remembrance, and meaning in rebuilding what was destroyed. Raw, emotional, and deeply human, Hostage is both a memoir of endurance and a testament to the power of spirit. It reminds us that even in the darkest captivity, the human soul is never fully imprisoned - that hope, once sparked, cannot be extinguished. Perfect for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Night, and A Long Way Gone, this book is an unforgettable journey through despair and deliverance - and a tribute to the enduring light of the human heart. Key Themes True story of survival during the October 7 attack on Israel Family, loss, resilience, and the will to live The psychology of captivity and the journey of healing Remembering the victims and finding purpose after tragedy Hope, faith, and rebuilding after unthinkable trauma
