On October 7, two best friends, Yosef Haim Ohana and Daniel Sharabi, attended a music festival together-never imagining how dramatically their lives would change.
This powerful live, in-person program brings together firsthand testimony of survival, loss, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to love and compassion. Yosef and Daniel share their journeys-not as a political statement, but as a deeply human message about choosing light over darkness and hope over despair.
Joined by his father, Avi Ohana, this evening offers rare personal insight, meaningful conversation, and the opportunity to gain insight from those who lived through these extraordinary events.
Yosef Haim Ohana is a living testament to the resilience of the human spirit. After being brutally held hostage in Gaza for two years, Yosef emerged with a message rooted not in anger or division, but in love, compassion, and healing. Today, Yosef is committed to spreading a universal message of hope through speaking engagements, storytelling, and creative platforms that inspire people to choose humanity even in the face of unimaginable darkness.
Avi Ohana is an Israeli father from Kiryat Malachi, known publicly when his son Yosef Chaim was abducted at the Nova Music Festival after helping evacuate wounded attendees. Throughout the two-year captivity period, he became one of the family voices advocating for his son’s release and for the broader hostage cause. He speaks about the emotional and spiritual strain of the ordeal and how he found the courage to endure.
Daniel Sharabi is a survivor, humanitarian, and advocate for healing. After enduring profound personal loss and trauma, Daniel dedicated his life to helping others recover and rebuild. He is the founder of Future for the Survivors, a nonprofit organization focused on providing critical support to victims of terror and trauma. Daniel’s story is one of pain transformed into purpose, and loss reshaped into hope for others.
