Calderon family eats Shabbat dinner together at home for first time since Oct. 7

One of Ofer Calderon’s four children, Gaya, shares a photo of the family eating Shabbat dinner together at home for the first time since her father and two of her siblings were kidnapped from their home on Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, 2023.

Ofer was released last week as part of an ongoing hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas, while Sahar and Erez, then aged 16 and 12, were freed during a week-long truce in November 2023.

“Finally, Friday night dinners without sorrow,” Gaya Calderon writes in an Instagram post.
