In her short flight over the skies of Israel from the Gaza Strip to Beilinson Hospital, Agam Berger conveyed a message of strength and deep emunah to Am Yisrael.
“In the way of faith I chose, in the way of faith I returned,” her sign from the helicopter stated. “Thank you to all of Am Yisrael and the heroic soldiers of the IDF. There is none like you in the world!”
Agam Berger and her family have been models of emunah. Her mother asked the general public before last Shabbos, when there was an expectation that she would be released in the previous wave with her friends, not to to be mechallel Shabbos by watching or photographing her release.
According to reports, Agam was Shomer Shabbos during her captivity and also refrained from eating meat. Additionally, Ynet reported on Thursday evening that all the female IDF soldiers refrained from eating chometz on Pesach and tried to fast on Yom Kippur.

מי כעמך ישראל!
Hashem should see this and bring the Geulah soon
Yeah. Everyone knows she’s just another kofer Tzioni. Let’s all go out and demonstrate against her. Death before conscription!
תהלים קיט, ל.
What an inspiring hero. Her mother was also quoted in stating this a day earlier.
They probably don’t need to be told, but imagine how much they could accomplish by going around giving droshos to encourage all Jews to keep Shabbos and grow in emuna.
G-d bless Agam always.
Wow! We all have what to learn from these amazing Yidden.
