From Captivity to Healing - Shani's Incredible Journey

Shani Goren
🎗️
October 7th

55 days in captivity

Shani Goren was living peacefully in Kibbutz Nir Oz when terror struck on October 7th, 2023.

Kidnapped and held in Hamas captivity for 55 harrowing days, Shani faced unimaginable fear and hunger. But even in darkness, her humanity shone through - she shared her meager food with a 12-year-old boy, giving him strength and preserving moments of hope.

Coming home was not the end - it was the beginning. Shani transformed her deepest trauma into healing power.

Today, she stands as a beacon of hope, training as an MHFA instructor and helping people across Israel recognize crisis, listen without judgment, and save lives.

"From my darkest moment, I found my purpose - to help others find light in their darkness."
