The five female Israel Defense Forces soldiers who were recently freed by Hamas after 15-months in captivity were treated to a concert at the hospital where they have been recovering.

Naama Levy, 20; Karina Ariev, 20; Daniella Gilboa, 20; Agam Berger, 19; and Liri Albag, 20; were serenaded by a live orchestra at the Beilinson Hospital, in Petah Tikva, on Tuesday.

The women could be seen enjoying the music from the hospital’s upper floor as the orchestra played Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” as well as “Happy Birthday” to celebrate Albag’s 20th birthday.

The former hostages also flashed heart signs at the orchestra playing below and held each other close as their families also watched on beside them.

The concert was put together by the Lu Yihi group, an Israeli volunteer mental health organization that helps provide relief to people traumatized by war, the Times of Israel reported.

All five soldiers were abducted by Hamas during the brutal Oct. 7 terrorist attack, with the militants storming the Nahal Oz base where the women were stationed.

Agam related recently how she managed to obtain a Siddur in Gaza, enabling her to pray daily.

אגם ברגר אומרת: מאוד רציתי להתפלל בשבי והתפללתי לה’ שישלח סידור, שאלתי גם את אחד המחבלים אם יש להם ספר עם תפילות יהודיות? הוא צחק, וכעבור יומיים הביא את הסידור של רינת ישראל. הוא אמר לי: האלוהים שלך אוהב אותך. מצאנו את זה. סביר להניח שאחד החיילים שכח את זה בחאן יונס”#חדשות… pic.twitter.com/1jmG7Fmu8a

I really wanted to pray while in captivity and I prayed to Hashem (The Name) to send me a Siddur. I asked one of the terrorists if they had a book with Jewish prayers inside? He laughed and two days later brought me a Rinat Yisrael siddur. He said: Your G-d loves you, we  found this. It is likely that one of the soldiers forgot this in Khan Younis.’
