Former hostage Sasha Tropnov married fellow former hostage Sapir Cohen on Sunday. During the ceremony, he explained why the song 'Mima'amakim' (From the Depths) was chosen as their entrance song, according to reports.
A new detail emerged from the Sunday wedding of former hostages Sasha Tropnov and Sapir Cohen: Tropnov explained under the chuppah why the song 'Mima'amakim' (From the Depths) was selected as their entrance song. The exact reason for the choice was not detailed in the report, but the gesture underscored the couple's personal connection to the song's theme of emerging from hardship.
The Zioneer first reported the couple's marriage at 20:31 Jerusalem on Sunday, followed by a series of updates within the same minute: President Isaac Herzog and his wife Michal were among the guests; footage from N12 showed the couple under the canopy; Rabbi Berel Lazar, Chief Rabbi of Russia, officiated; and the couple broke the glass together. The song 'Mima'amakim' was noted during the ceremony.
A background article published at 21:44 Jerusalem by The Zioneer summarized the day's events and the president's attendance, framing the wedding as a milestone for the two former hostages who were both taken captive on October 7.
What remains unreported is the specific meaning Tropnov attributed to the song. The title—'From the Depths'—aligns with the couple's shared experience of captivity and release, but the exact reasoning behind the choice has not been publicly detailed.
