Renowned singer Andrea Bocelli pens heartfelt letter to freed Israeli hostage
"Thanks to you, from now on, I shall sing with renewed enthusiasm, with renewed faith, with new energy."
Renowned opera singer Andrea Bocelli has extended his heartfelt gratitude and support to 85-year-old Yaffa Adar, who recently recounted her 49-day days in Hamas captivity on Channel 12’s Uvda investigative program.
During her captivity, Adar found solace and hope in Bocelli's music. "Every morning, I’d sing Bocelli to myself and say, ‘God, maybe this will bring a good day. Maybe today will bring [my release],’" she shared.
Moved by her touching story, Bocelli penned a heartfelt letter to Adar, expressing his profound gratitude and admiration for her strength.
