After enduring 504 days in Hamas captivity—much of it confined to a cage—Eliya has finally returned home. Upon his release, he was reunited with his parents and airlifted to the hospital by helicopter.
In a powerful and deeply moving moment, Eliya and his mother were photographed in the helicopter reciting Tehilim.
The same Pesukim that carried the Tefillos of an entire nation for Eliya’s survival and freedom now serve as his own words of gratitude to Hashem for his deliverance. For generations, these ancient Tefillos have been a source of strength in times of sorrow and a song of thanks in moments of joy.
Am Yisrael Chai.
