SUMMARY:From the Inferno of the Safe Rooms and the Gaza Tunnels of to a Path of Healing and Recovery
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to hear the personal tantalizing testimonies of two Kibbutz Nir Oz members –  Nili Margalit and Eyal Barad. \nNili\, a nurse\, was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 and held captive in Gaza for 55 days. Her father was murdered during the attack. While in captivity\, Nili used her medical training to help care for other hostages who were injured or ill. \nEyal survived the attack together with his wife and their three young children\, sheltering for hours in their safe room as the attack unfolded throughout the kibbutz. One of their children is on the autism spectrum\, making the need to remain completely silent for hours especially difficult. During that time\, security cameras outside their home recorded what was happening around them. \nNili and Eyal will share their experiences of October 7\, captivity\, survival\, and the lasting impact of the attack on their families and the community of Kibbutz Nir Oz.
