Contributed by: Omer Bot. Superman (For Alon, the Hostages, and their families) by John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting).
I just read about this today in an ADL newsletter and found the song and accompanying video very moving, especially since John Ondrasik is not Jewish: Grammy-nominated singer John Ondrasik, aka Five For Fighting, has rerecorded his hit song “Superman” to bring attention to the Israeli hostages in Gaza, focusing on Alon Ohel. Inspired by a photo of Alon in a Superman costume, Ondrasik worked with Alon’s family to create a powerful new version of the song. He’s also written another song for the hostages and performed in Hostages Square. The updated “Superman” offers a message of hope, with a video featuring footage from Hostages Square and Alon’s family. Both Ondrasik and Alon’s mom are emphasizing the importance of unity and remembering the hostages. Learn More.
