Location: YouTube Live Stream & Shalhevet Beit Midrash (Rooftop Classroom) Mission in Captivity: One Woman’s Struggle to Survive and Save Her Family in Gaza A powerful, firsthand account of a woman’s fifty-day struggle to protect three generations of her family while held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. For fifty days, Dr. Shoshan Haran was held captive alongside her family—including her three-year-old granddaughter—under the constant threat of terrorists and the horror of IDF bombardments. After their release, words began to pour out of her. Mission in Captivity is a story of physical and psychological survival in a place where the threat of death looms over every moment. It is an account of the determination to look pure evil in the eye through long, harrowing conversations with her captors. This firsthand account also documents the ongoing struggle to return all the hostages, describes the depths of entrenched hatred within Gaza, and issues a wake-up call to the free world to act against a murderous ideology that threatens its very existence. Mission in Captivity is a powerful testament, written with a sensitive hand, that will haunt the reader long after the final page. About the Author: Dr. Shoshan Haran is a humanitarian leader and the founder of FairPlanet, a nonprofit dedicated to providing smallholder farmers in developing countries with food and economic security. Her life’s work was met with unimaginable tragedy on October 7, 2023, when she was kidnapped from Kibbutz Be’eri and held hostage in Gaza for fifty days alongside her daughter and grandchildren. Despite the murder of her husband and close family members during the attack, Dr. Haran has emerged as a powerful global witness. In her book, Mission in Captivity, she shares a profound story of survival and resilience that transcends politics. By testifying before international bodies and sharing her journey with audiences worldwide, she has become a vital voice for humanity, alerting the world to the universal threat of terrorism and the enduring power of hope.
