The story · English

Hadasa Ben Ari, the ex-wife of singer Hanan Ben Ari, shared a special tribute to Michal Zamora, the widow of Israeli hero Arnon Zamora, who was killed in action. Ben Ari posted on social media about reading Zamora's recently published book, "Greater Than the Sum of My Parts," stating that it "tore me apart and built things within me that cannot yet be named." She revealed she finished the entire book in a single day, an unusual feat for her.

Ben Ari encouraged her followers to purchase the book, hinting that she might write more about her experience with it if she "finds the courage." Michal Zamora released her book last month, detailing her journey of healing and self-discovery through writing after her husband's death. She began writing during a retreat for war widows, finding that the process helped her organize her thoughts and emotions.

Zamora expressed surprise at the book's success, noting that it was recently sent for a second printing less than a week after its launch. She admitted to being emotional about the book's reception, crying and laughing simultaneously. She also spoke about the bravery required to be so open after working hard to regain her peace, but chose to be courageous to live life fully.
