Agam Berger, at age 19, had only been in the IDF for three months and actually on the base for only two days prior to her abduction.

(Part 1)
(TOI) ...With her cousin Agam Berger on the list of the 33 hostages expected to be released in the first stage of the ceasefire deal, YouTuber Ashley Waxman Bakshi headed to Tel Aviv Hostages Square on Thursday night for another evening of baking challah and praying for the safe return of the captives.

We’ve been doing hafrashat challah events for the entire 16 months, but this is the most important one,” said Waxman Bakshi, referring to the tradition of separating a piece of challah dough to bless it. “We’ve been inviting everyone because this is the one that matters.”

Religious practice has not always been a part of the YouTuber’s life or played a major role in Agam Berger’s family life either, but according to Waxman Bakshi it has offered them all much succor in the last 16 months.

“I was completely atheist two years ago, but Agam has really inspired all of us,” she said.

When 105 hostages were released from Hamas captivity in November 2023, some of those who were held alongside with Agam told her family that she was saying blessings over her food, and that she had told her captors she wouldn’t cook food for them on the Sabbath.

These testimonies on Agam’s acts of faith and religious ritual have inspired the rest of the family since she was taken hostage during the Hamas terror onslaught on October 7, 2023, which started the Gaza war.

We’ve done a lot of praying over the last year,” said Waxman Bakshi, who started going to synagogue for Shabbat services.

Agam’s parents, Shlomi and Merav, have been observing Shabbat since Agam was taken hostage, taking their faith “to the next level,” said Waxman Bakshi.
Baruch Hashem!!!!  SHE'S HOME!!!

  1. Why are you feeding leftist propaganda? It's good that she is back, but bad that numerous murderers had to be released.

    1. Why are you talking like an ignoramous? Where were you when they locked up the murderers instead of executing them?

      This is not about releasing hostages. It's about putting HKB"H before everything else and giving Him the credit where the credit is due. Who else do you suppose sustained them in their captivity and Who is ultimately responsible for their freedom?
