<p>Eliya Cohen was kidnapped by Hamas and held hostage in Gaza for 505 days. Ziv Abud survived the October 7 massacre by hiding in a bomb shelter, believing Eliya was gone, while he had no idea she was alive. Captivity, survival, faith, emunah, bitachon, tefillah, unanswered prayers, hope, trauma, resilience, Jewish strength, love, and miracles all collide in one story. Today, against every odd, they are engaged to be married. A true story of survival, faith in God, and love that endured Hamas terror, war, and darkness.</p><p>Help Eliya Here:</p><p>► Donate Towards Their Wedding: https://bit.ly/4bmdUI4</p><p>► Order His Book: https://bit.ly/450yfyS</p><p>► Book Them To Talk: email [email protected]</p><p>✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬</p><p>► United Refua Healthshare: Spend Less, Save More, Get CareImagine healthcare that puts you first - and can save you thousands.Enroll here→ https://bit.ly/3MD9RN9→ 440-772-0700→ Eli&#39;s Kosher Money Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnNaMEumWQg&amp;t=4s</p><p>► BitBean: Smart Custom Software Built for YouYaakov here.
