After 482 days in Hamas captivity, Agam Berger was finally home. The world first saw him in a terrible footage from October 7, 2023 – Nahl OzF, who was stained with blood with soldiers of four other young women kidnapped from the IDF base. The terrorists paraded him through the streets of Gaza as a trophy.
In a recent ceremony, the Yhezkel was held at the Yhezkel Vardhanar at Tel Aviv, which on the traditional food of gratitude to God, Berger filed an emotional petition for God for 59 bounds living in Gaza.
“Jeevan and Karma”, he said in a trembling voice in the synagogue, “We will not rest until they all return.”

His mother, Merav Berger told Fox News Digital, “I started to feel God by shaking my world.” She started keeping Sabbath in honor of her daughter – long ago she knew whether her daughter was alive or not. “We traditionally grew up, but not religious. The fire did not put Shabbat first. But somehow, he found God – in Gaza, all places.”
He said that what his daughter kept is faith and identity. “They took his body,” he told the Israeli media, “but he could not take his soul and recognition.”
He and fellow hostage Liri Albag were given a radio during their early days in captivity, and in an interview to Israel Public Radio Station, “We will hear the voices- Israelis said we were worth fighting for it. This gave us strength,” she said. “But after the first hostage rescue, he took the radio. They were more crazy than ever.”
In January 2024, Hamas Guards brought him a heap of a abandoned Israeli military outpost: maps, a newspaper and a pile of items recovered from a Jewish prayer book.

The mother of Agam later revealed that her daughter had dreamed a Sididar – a Jewish prayer book – a few days ago. “Then it arrived,” said Merava. “How do you explain it? This is not a chance. It’s belief.”
With that book, he began to mark the Jewish time. “We had a watch earlier,” he told Israeli Public Radio. “This is that we knew when it was Shabbat, when this yom was Kippur. I fasted. On Passover, I refused the bread. I asked for corn flour – and they brought it. In a strange way, they respected my religion.”

As the months were dragged, the situation deteriorated. Hamas’s guards often roamed, he said, seeing that many were cruel and others were indifferent. He belongs to the Israeli media, “They argued with us, scolded us on small things … We did not know who we could trust.”
He tried to be optimistic, telling himself that he would be home before his younger brother’s bar. But the day came and went away. “He broke me,” he admitted in the interview. He said that he believed to keep him together that it would end somehow.
Even rumors of a hostage deal began to air in early 2025, not expecting herself. “We heard people talking, but we did not think it would be for us,” he said.

On January 24, Liri Albug was taken to a release video film. “She told her that she was a video film – but not that she was going home,” said. “I waited for him. I made his birthday cards. Then someone said to me,” Your friends are already homes. “
The next day, the bowler echoed in the distance. His prisoners dressed him in the hijab and took him to circles for two hours. In an interview with Israeli’s public radio, he said, “He did not let me take anything – not our notebook, not pictures, nothing,” he recalled in an interview with Israel’s public radio.
The absence of the agam left a gap hole in his family, but his brothers and sisters carried forward his strength. His twin sister remained in the Layam army, even the officer completed training, while the Agam was still missing. “He did so for his sister,” said his mother.

The younger sister, Bar had planned not to recruit. But after hearing that the Angam promised his fellow hostages that he would return to his base after his release, Bar changed his mind. Burger’s mother recalled, “Three days after the Angam came to the house, she graduated from her unit.” “She wanted her to take it forward.”
Now back home, Agam is surrounded by friends, visitors and endless care. But he is not in peace – no while others live in captivity.
At the synagogue this week, the agam made that call loudly and publicly. “We won’t rest,” he said, “until every soul – survive or dead – comes home.”

As his mother said: “This is a Jewish mission. Nothing is more sacred. It is our right – and our rebirth as a people depends on it.
“God brought the agam home,” his mother said. “Now it is our duty to bring back others as well.”
