Even in the most painful and terrifying moments, the connection to our identity, our faith, and our Torah can become a source of inner strength that no enemy can take away. Sapir’s unwavering pride in who she was, and the Jewish knowledge she carried with her, became more than comfort — it became a shield of dignity, hope, and resilience in captivity. It’s a powerful reminder that the Jewish spirit has survived every darkness throughout history not only through physical strength, but through faith, identity, and the refusal to forget who we are. ✡️ Video: @TzamaMusic

The terrorists kept asking us, "Tell us
the 10 Commandments." And we didn't
really know them. Daniel remembered
maybe five, I don't know how many. I
didn't remember any at all, except for
"Thou shalt not kill" and [music] "Thou
shalt not steal." I didn't know. And
they were pretty disappointed by that.
After that, this guard [music] was
friends with the guards of Sapir's
group, so he went to visit them and then
he came back to us and told us that he
went and asked Sapir about the 10
Commandments
>> [music]
>> and she knew all of them.
He was really excited about it. They
really respected Sapir [music]
specifically because she did know them
and she was proud of being Jewish.
They asked each person, "Are you Jewish?
Are you Jewish? Are you [music] Jewish?"
And people were pretty afraid to say,
but she said, "I'm Jewish, Jewish,
Jewish, Jewish." And they respected her
for that.
