Agam Berger is an Israeli soldier who was abducted from the Nahal Oz outpost by Hamas during the October 7 attack on Israel in 2023 and held hostage in Gaza for 482 days. Her captivity and eventual release received widespread media attention in Israel and internationally. During her captivity, Berger intensified her Jewish faith, observing Shabbat and keeping kosher despite pressure and food shortages. After her release as part of the January 2025 Gaza war ceasefire, Berger actively campaigned for the remaining hostages in Gaza, speaking alongside American elected officials and Jewish leaders and urging the global Jewish community to act for their return. An accomplished violinist, Berger was gifted a 130-year-old violin that belonged to a Holocaust victim and has performed at major commemorative events, including the March of the Living at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
