**The event will be held in Hebrew.
Dear Community,
It has been almost a year since October 7th, that fateful Saturday which left us all in shock.
As we approach to mark the year, we invite you to a community gathering titled “Remembering and Sharing”- זוכרים ומספרים.
Together, we will honor the victims, stand in remembrance, and listen to members of our community
who will share their personal and family stories from that difficult day.
Afterwards, an open conversation with the participants will follow.
The community members who will share their stories are:
Rotem Cooper, born and raised in Kibbutz Nir Oz, where over 110 residents were killed or kidnapped
on October 7th, including his parents, Amiram and Nurit Cooper. Nurit was released after 17 days,
but Amiram was murdered after surviving four months in captivity, and his body is still being held in Gaza.
Ayelet Shachori Vagim – originally from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak, lost her brother-in- law, Yaron Shachar,
the security officer of Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak.
Ofir Ganot, the older brother of Deputy Superintendent Dan Ganot z”l, one of the first police officers to arrive in Be’eri.
Mira Pessah – her nephew, Yair Yaakov (Yaya), was kidnapped and murdered on October 7th.
His two children and partner were kidnapped and returned after 53 days in captivity.
We look forward to seeing you, IAC Team
