Watch: Former Hostage Ohad Ben Ami’s emotional message to Israel - "Faith made me stronger"
In an emotional video released recently, Ohad Ben Ami, a former hostage who was held captive by Hamas, shared a heartfelt message to the people of Israel alongside Shai Graucher, a young Hasidic rabbi and philanthropist known for his extensive charitable work.


The video was a beacon of strength, offering solace and encouragement to the nation as they continue to face the ongoing challenges brought by the war.
Ohad Ben Ami, who was released earlier this year after over 16 months of captivity, spoke about the power of faith in overcoming the most difficult circumstances. His words struck a chord with many as he expressed his unwavering belief in the strength of the Israeli people. “My message to give to Israel is that our nation is a strong nation, even though we come from all different backgrounds, countries, and communities, we are still strong,” Ben Ami began.
He emphasized that the true source of Israel’s resilience is faith. “What keeps us strong is our faith, our faith in G-d. At least in my personal experience, I feel that my faith held me and kept me strong, and thanks to Hashem, I am here today after captivity.” These words resonated deeply with the people of Israel, reinforcing the idea that faith is a pillar that helps individuals endure even the toughest trials.
Reflecting on his own personal journey, Ben Ami shared, “I think I had a few things to work on to fix, and I mean that for good and bad. I needed to go through this as it only made me stronger.” He noted that faith gave him the strength to persevere through unimaginable hardship and pain.
In his message, Ben Ami also highlighted the role faith plays in helping people face adversity and come out stronger. “Our faith is what makes us strong and gives us strength in the most difficult of moments when we are struggling. It makes us stronger and teaches us how to face these challenges and come back stronger.” His words were a reminder of the resilience that comes from within when one believes in a higher power, even in the face of the darkest moments.
He ended his message with a vow to continue fighting for the return of all hostages: “It is important for me to make clear that we will continue to fight until all the hostages are home, Bezrat Hashem.” This declaration struck a deep chord, as it underscored the collective effort and determination of both the people and the government to bring every hostage back home safely.
Oded Ben Ami’s message, paired with the support and ongoing efforts of individuals like Shai Graucher, offers hope and strength to the people of Israel. His story is a testament to the power of faith and resilience, and his words continue to inspire those fighting for peace and the safe return of every Israeli hostage. His message remains clear: with unwavering faith, the strength of the nation will prevail, and no challenge will be too great to overcome.
