Kibbutz Be’eri, where Hamas terrorists murdered 102 people during their October 7, 2023, rampage — around one in ten residents — and kidnapped 30 to the Gaza Strip, has produced and posted an anguished video featuring freed hostages and family members of those killed and still held in captivity.

The video was filmed along the road to Be’eri, lined with pictures of the hostages, at the kibbutz itself, in Kibbutz Hazerim, where many Be’eri residents are currently living, and in other locations.

It was staged and produced by the kibbutz cultural director, Yael Ben Tzvi Gitai, and was first screened at a community ceremony on October 7, 2025.

The video, which is set to the Yehudit Ravitz song “The Day After,” features some of the freed hostages from Be’eri, including Ohad Ben Ami, Raz Ben Ami, Raaya and Hila Rotem, Alma Or and Emily Hand, and some of their family members, as well as families of those killed in captivity, Yossi Sharabi, Meni Godard, Dror Or and Sahar Baruch.

The bodies of Sharabi, Godard, Or and Baruch are still held in Gaza and are expected to be released home to Israel in the coming days.

The video and the song relate how hard it has been for these survivors to wait for their loved ones to be released home to a proper burial, as they seek a sense of closure and repair.
