Noam shared Shlomo’s extraordinary journey: his childhood in Iraq, surviving the horrors of the Nazi-inspired Farhud pogrom, immigrating to Israel at 16, and co-founding Kibbutz Kissufim. She also revealed the powerful story of his wife, Mazal who fled Syria to Israel as a young woman. Together, they built a family, a community, and a legacy, only to have their lives torn apart when Shlomo was taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
