Season 3 Ep. 5 | Surviving Nova – Rom El-Hai on Trauma, Memory & Life After October 7

In Episode 5 of Show and Teller Season 3, Rabbi Mordechai Teller speaks with Rom El-Hai, a survivor of the Nova music festival attack. Rom opens up about the moments that shaped that day, what it felt like to live through something unthinkable, and how the experience continues to affect him long after the world moved on.

This is a quiet, powerful conversation about trauma, resilience and the ongoing process of trying to make sense of life after October 7. Rom’s story is honest and human, and it serves as a reminder that survival is not the end of the journey.

Apologize for the audio quality on this episode, we had a bit of a technical difficulty we were working through.
