Hostage by Eli Sharabi
Moderated by: Mara Attie of Rising Heroes – A non-profit supporting the mental health recovery and PTSD prevention of Israel’s reservists
Tuesday, December 16
11:30 AM – 12:45 PM
Member Price: $26; Price: $30

Eli Sharabi’s story is one of hunger and heartache, of physical pain, longing, loneliness and a helplessness that threatens to destroy the soul. But it is also a story of strength, of resilience, and of the human spirit’s refusal to surrender. It is about the camaraderie forged in captivity, the quiet power of faith, and one man’s unrelenting decision to choose life, time and time again.

In the first memoir by a released Israeli hostage, and the fastest-selling book in Israel’s history, Sharabi offers a searing firsthand account of survival under unimaginable conditions—starvation, isolation, physical beatings, and psychological abuse at the hands of his captors.
