Tonight, I had the honor of meeting Shlomi Ziv, who, after 246 days in captivity in Gaza, was recently rescued by the IDF along with Noa Argamani, Almog Meir, and Andrey Kozlov. His story is one of incredible courage and inspiration.

He shared how he had been hiding in bushes when a terrorist spotted him, ordered him to come out, and forced him into a car. The terrorist commanded Shlomi to drive himself to Gaza, with Andrey Kozlov seated next to him in the front and the terrorist in the back seat, directing them at gunpoint.

Despite enduring so much physical and mental suffering, Shlomi’s spirit remains very strong. He shared, “They would torture us mentally, telling us how our families hate us and don’t care about us. But one thing that kept us going was reminding each other that we are better than them, stronger than them, physically and mentally. We are paying the price of life, and we will get home one day.”

While in captivity, Shlomi made a promise to G-d that if he were to survive, he would begin putting on Tefillin every day. His first request after being rescued was, “Please get me Tefillin.”
