Galloway, N.J. — Bar Kupershtein, who was kidnapped and held hostage by Hamas for 738 days, will share his story of faith, resilience and survival at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9, in the Campus Center Theatre at Stockton University.

The event, “From Captivity to a Greater Purpose,” will feature Kupershtein discussing his experiences in captivity, his unwavering faith and how he found strength and hope despite extraordinary circumstances.

He was released along with 19 other surviving hostages on Oct. 13, 2025. Earlier this year, he released a book titled “Unbroken” about his experience.
