In a special episode of the podcast "Ad HaKatz", host Keren Neubach serves as a listener only, while Avital Dekel Chen and Lishay Miran Lavi hold an open conversation about life after their partners returned from captivity in Gaza. Avital, who survived the massacre in her home in Nir Oz while pregnant and mother to two daughters, only learned at the end of that day that her husband Sagi had been kidnapped. Lishay, who was held hostage with her two daughters in the Idan family home in Nahal Oz, saw the terrorists kidnap her husband Omri. Three years after October 7, they describe the gap between the public image and the reality at home, the euphoria that faded, the difficulty of returning to routine, the children meeting their father anew, the careers that were cut short, and the hard images that won't leave their heads. The conversation reveals the understanding that for them, nothing is over, and that their story is only just beginning.
