Description

Recorded on August 4, 2025, this dedication reflects the death tolls reported by OCHA at that time, when 50 hostages were still being held by Hamas.


As we prepare to publish our podcast, October 13, 2025, marked a turning point: after two long years of anguish, Israeli hostage families finally saw their loved ones return. While some families are still awaiting the remains of their loved ones, there was immense joy on this day. For Gazans, it was a moment of great relief amid ong oing devastation. Though the Peace Plan leaves many questions unresolved, people celebrated this day of relief across Israel and Palestine.



It is a profound gift for us that, after a year of bearing witness to these unfolding catastrophes, we could witness these deeply emotional moments of relief that reunited families on both sides.



We continue to pray and hope for a just peace, for security, dignity, and equality for all who call Israel and Palestine home.



We dedicate this Podcast to all victims and survivors of October 7, the (former) hostages and their families, to all innocent civilians killed and injured in Gaza and their grieving families and friends.



To our dear guests Udi Goren, Khalil Sayegh, Sima and Mai who shared their losses so generously and so powerfully with us.



To their families:

Tal’s wife Ella Haimi, their children Nir, Einav, Udi and Lotan, who never had the chance to meet his father.

To Khalil Sayegh’s mother and siblings.

To Mai’s and Sima’s family, to her mother Bushra.



To the blessed memory of:



Tal Haimi,

Lara Sayegh,

Jeries Sayegh,

Danny Darlington and
