'Chanukah reminds us that light does not win in a single day, but it insists, it grows, and in the end, it overcomes the darkness.'

International tenor Andrea Bocelli welcomed former Hamas hostage Segev Kalfon to his Miami home last week, offering music, support, and a warm personal visit as part of his continued outreach to freed Israeli captives.

Freed hostage Segev Kalfon recalled how Hamas forced them to perform endless, pointless digging just to break their dignity and resolve — all for a meager meal.

Freed hostage Segev Kalfon said that in his darkest moments, small miracles kept him going, giving him just enough strength to push through another day.

Freed hostage Segev Kalfon revealed that Hamas terrorists beat and tortured him whenever he asked to use the bathroom — and that he and two other captives were forced to share a single toothbrush for months.

Freed hostage Segev Kalfon was seen emotionally singing at his Seudat Hoda’ah—a 'meal of thanks'—thanking God for his survival in Gaza and his reunion with his family.
