Former Hostage Eli Sharabi Tells His Story
(Commentary) Michael M. Rosen - In Hostage, the fastest-selling book in Israeli history, Eli Sharabi lays bare the 491-day ordeal he suffered at the hands of Hamas, beginning when he was abducted by murderous terrorists from his safe room in Kibbutz Be'eri. Unbeknownst to him, his wife Lianne and teenage daughters Noiya and Yahel were executed shortly thereafter. But despite the horrors Sharabi suffered, what emerges is a portrait of a man miraculously unbroken and unbowed by his torment. Sharabi's remarkably dignified comportment offers an example of resilience for Jews around the world.
