Finding God in Gaza: Former Israeli hostage found faith to help her survive Hamas terror
Fox News
Agam Berger was held in Gaza for 482 days by Hamas terrorists. During her time as a hostage she found a Jewish prayer book, which helped her through her ordeal.
"The lives and the deeds" she said in a trembling voice in the Synagogue, "We won’t rest until they all return." Efrat Lachter is an investigative reporter and war correspondent.

Her mother, Merav Berger, told Fox News Digital, "I began to feel God shaking my world." She started keeping the Sabbath in her daughter's honor – long before she knew whether her daughter was alive. "We grew up traditional, but not religious. Agam didn’t keep Shabbat before. But somehow, she found God – in Gaza, of all places."
