Beth Or is proud to host Eliya Cohen and Ziv Abud, two survivors of the atrocities of October 7, 2023. Together, they share two sides of one journey.
Eliya was kidnapped from the Nova Music Festival and held hostage in Gaza for 505 days. His story is one of endurance, courage and the undefeatable will to survive. Ziv is a survivor of the Nova Music Festival who fought tirelessly to bring Eliya home.Through their personal stories of pain, strength and hope, Eliya and Ziv offer powerful insight into the lasting impact of October 7 and the resilience of the human spirit. Their testimony is important for us to hear first hand.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, this event is open to Beth Or members and the community at no cost. A donation to Beth Or's Israel Support Fund in honor of Eliya & Ziv and all of the victims and survivors of October 7 is appreciated.
For security precautions, this program is limited to pre-registered guests. Only small bags will be permitted inside the building. We encourage carpooling, as we expect this event to sell out and we have limited space in the parking lot.
RSVP by January 12.
