Ofer Calderon, an Israeli 54 year old Israeli father of four, who had been held hostage by Hamas in Gaza, was released on February 1, 2025 after 484 days of harrowing captivity. During his helicopter journey back to Israel, Ofer made his first public gesture: he drew a heart on a whiteboard, a simple yet profound message to us all. Upon his arrival, he was taken by van to a Tel Aviv hospital to reunite with his family. Friends from his bicycling club accompanied the van all the way. At a certain point, Ofer made the van pull over so he could come out and greet his club friends, and the video footage of that moment, of Ofer standing on  Israeli soil, free at last, blowing kisses, and raising his fist in triumph. He has only been free for a matter of hours, and yet his mind-blowing resilience and joy have already inspired us, a testament to human strength and the power of the Jewish people.


 Ofer, you are a true hero of the joy of life. I don't have the words. Legend.
