At the torch-lighting ceremony on Mount Herzl, which was broadcast this evening (Wednesday), singer Dudu Fischer performed the prayer song "My brother, I seek.".
Alongside him, he was accompanied on the violin by captivity survivor Agam Berger, the observer who was kidnapped from the Nahal Oz outpost and was released after 482 days in Hamas captivity.
The violin she played is 130 years old, belonged to a Jewish musician who perished in the Holocaust, and was given to her as a gift after her return from captivity.
Her appearance at the ceremony, after also playing the violin at the Auschwitz March of the Living, emphasized the connection between the past and the present and the longing for all the abductees to return home.
Her appearance at the torch-lighting ceremony, alongside Dudu Fisher, was a moving highlight that left many of the spectators with tears in their eyes.
