Israeli singer Moshe Peretz created something unbelievable with the written words of Agam Berger in the helicopter upon her release.
Israeli Singer Creates a Masterpiece
This is absolutely stunning and inspiring. You’ll be moved to tears. Agam Berger became well-known as the last of the 5 IDF female lookouts to be released in a hostage deal after being brutally kidnapped on October 7. She kept her faith throughout captivity. She tried her best to keep Shabbat and whatever holidays she could. How Agam stayed so strong is mind-blowing. One cannot even fathom it. She has inspired Jewish people worldwide. And upon her release, the message she wrote to the world was “B’derech emunah bacharti. U’B’derech emunah shavti. – I chose the path of faith,
And through faith, I returned to you.”
Translation of the Lyrics of the song:
Soon you’ll be back home,
Throw your keys onto the table.
Mom will be waiting downstairs,
The food in the pots is almost ready.
We’ve burned with longing,
Waiting for you to send us pictures.
Each day suddenly felt like a week,
We couldn’t stop the tears.
Even if today never seems to end,
Tomorrow will come in the end.
Maybe we can still mend within us
All the things that broke.
It’s not too late yet,
With just a little faith.
I chose the path of faith,
And through faith, I returned to you.
Because who are we without you?
So give us a little light,
Air for the soul.
The hardest part is when evening comes,
And names of heroes appear on the screen.
They remind us,
To hold every moment in life tight.
