While the mother and children were freed, their joy is far from complete because their father is still being held hostage.
Raichel who came to visit the family, had no idea Erez could lay the trumpet. but the two sat down and made music together.
"You've already met Rotem Calderon, whose brother, sister and father were abducted to Gaza, play with me, including in the crowdfunding campaign in Boston," Raichel wrote on Instagram. "Now meet our newest trumpet player, Erez Calderon, who came back from Hamas captivity along with his wonderful sister and immediately joined us with the trumpet. A beautiful image of victory, in the middle of a war."
