“At that moment darkness fell over an abyss. I am in heaven, and my heart is on the edge of hell.” This is how Alma Zohar describes the moment she learned of the October 7 tragedy, while she was on a quiet beach in Thailand with her family. “When I landed in Israel, everything looked beautiful to me. Petah Tikva and the Ayalon Highway seemed magical. I felt a rush of gratitude for having a home to return to, because for a moment it had not been safe.”

In this episode of Song of Hope, Zohar offers a deeply personal and powerful performance of “Ish Bli Netzach” (“A Man without Eternity”) by the band Ha Chaverim Shel Natasha. She speaks about fear, faith and the belief that God has not given up on humanity.
