HEROES is an illuminating and unifying experience that honors the heroic acts of October 7th. It is dedicated to those who lost their lives while saving the lives of others on that horrific day. Jewish heroes
throughout history are also honored and woven into the program.

The multimedia stage experience incorporates songs and videos with live music, together with touching documentary scenes, and high-tech video artwork, effects, and lighting. In the interest of accessibility for wide-reaching audiences, the storytelling and speaking parts will be in English.

Leading the HEROES project is Gilad Segev, an Israeli singer- songwriter and musician internationally known as Passerby. Segev’s inspiration for the project stems from his first release in 2004, “Achshav Tov,” dedicated to his brother who lost his life while serving in the IDF. The song garnered widespread recognition, becoming the most-played track on Israeli radio stations that year. Subsequently, Segev established a successful career both in Israel and abroad. Notably,

Gilad is the son of a Brigadier General who served as the governor of the Gaza Strip and held the position of the last military attaché in Iran. Additionally, he is the child of a mother who is a Holocaust survivor. As these influences played a pivotal role in Gilad’s upbringing, his personal narrative is deeply connected with recent events.

“The one who stayed” is the first song to be released as part of “Project Heroes”, a special album of songs dedicated to the heroes of the 7/10 events.

The song was penned in memory of Liron Barda, a member of the Nova party. Despite having the option to escape for her own safety, she chose to stay, providing heroic medical treatment to the wounded and caring for them until the very last moment.

Gilad expressed, “It is a tremendous privilege for me to collaborate with the families, sharing the heroic stories of their loved ones—tales that serve as beacons and sources of healing for our nation, both now and in the future. Liron Barda’s story, the heroine of Israel, exemplifies this. She is the one who stayed and will forever remain an inspiration.”

All profits derived from the distribution of this song and all future songs of the project will be a donation to the residents of Otaf and the victims of the battles.
