Eliya Cohen was held hostage for 505 days. His girlfriend Ziv Abud survived the Nova Festival by hiding under bodies after losing her nephew and his girlfriend. Ziv faced her traumas and quickly broke through the victim mentality knowing she needed a different energy to bring Eliya home. They are now beacons of love and positivity, eager to share their stories.
Just as ‘sitting shiva’ helps us heal by sharing, we want to help Eliya and Ziv heal and rebuild. They immediately agreed to speak to our community, asking for nothing in return. Please help us help them.
Let’s rebuild stronger.
