Alon Ohel Plays Piano in Hostages’ Square – ‘Song Without a Name’

For nearly two years, a piano awaited Alon Ohel in Hostages’ Square, Tel Aviv, and he played ‘Song Without a Name’ by Yehudit Ravitz, a song that became his strength during his time in captivity. After returning home from over 700 days in Gaza, Ohel, a former hostage, arrived at the square and played the piano, which had been set up for him. This emotional moment was captured as he played the song he wrote and composed while still in captivity, expressing his feelings of joy and relief upon his return home. The lyrics, written by Shalom Hanoch and originally performed by Rita, read: ‘For my song is the breeze, my open window, the source of my strength, laughter and tears, the end of my suffering… I am home.’ This powerful performance resonated with many, as singer Rita also shared her own version of the song, dedicated to Ohel and all the returned hostages. The story of Ohel’s return and his emotional piano performance has touched many, highlighting the resilience and strength of those who have endured captivity.
