Remember Ariel and Shiri

Remember Ron Yehudai (רון יהודאי) 24 years old, from Yehud-Monosson. Energetic, charismatic and known for his infectious joy, Ron loved soccer, music, dancing, travel and tattoos. He had played competitive soccer until age 18, later served as an operational driver in the IDF, and traveled for six months through South America. He was a devoted Beitar Jerusalem supporter and dreamed of becoming a tattoo artist and DJ. On October 7, 2023, Ron attended the Nova music festival with friends. When the attack began, he hid with other festivalgoers inside a large yellow garbage container for about five and a half hours, remaining in contact with his family. At 11:39 a.m., his final message told them that everything would be okay and that he loved them. Minutes later, gunmen discovered the people hiding inside and opened fire. Ron was murdered at age 24. Ron left behind his parents, Sigal and @YehudaiYor70520 and his siblings, Adi and Noam. His family later turned his bedroom into a tattoo studio in his memory. May his memory be a blessing.

Adir “Dori” Mesika (אדיר מסיקה) was 23 years old, from Even Yehuda. Born in New York and raised in Israel, he served as a combat soldier and team commander in the IDF’s elite Yahalom combat engineering unit. Adir loved surfing, his dogs, and jewelry design and silversmithing, a passion he shared with his father. He was remembered as warm, generous, funny and deeply devoted to his family and friends. On October 7, 2023, Adir attended the Nova music festival with his girlfriend, Yuli, and close friends. They fled to a roadside bomb shelter near Re’im. When gunmen approached the shelter, Adir and his close friend Ilay Nachman went outside, unarmed, in an attempt to stop them and protect those hiding inside. Both were murdered. Several of their friends in the shelter survived. Adir was laid to rest in Even Yehuda. He left behind his parents, Sheerie and Alon, his siblings Liran, Or and Libi, and his partner Yuli. May his memory be a blessing.

Remember Osher (Oshri) and Michael Vaknin (אושרי ומיכאל וקנין) 7/10 35-year-old identical twin brothers from Jerusalem. Inseparable throughout their lives, they shared a deep love of music and became well-known figures in Israel’s trance scene. Together with friends, they founded Mushroom Project and performed as “Double Trouble,” helping build a community centered around music, dancing and bringing people together. On October 7, 2023, the brothers were part of the production team at the Nova music festival, where they were responsible for the dark-trance stage. When the attack began, survivors recalled Osher and Michael helping others and protecting festivalgoers rather than simply fleeing. Both brothers were murdered during the attack. Osher left behind his wife Sunny and their young daughter Lian. Michael and Osher were laid to rest beside one another in Givat Shaul Cemetery in Jerusalem, just as they had spent their lives side by side. May the memories of Osher and Michael be a blessing.

Mona Naghib was an 8-year-old Baluch girl from Aspich, near Saravan in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan Province. She was a second-grade student. In October 2022, Mona was walking to school with her older sister, Maryam, when security forces opened fire while attempting to stop another vehicle. A bullet struck Mona in the head. Her sister carried her desperately seeking help, but Mona died from her injuries

The definition of insanity is misattributing the same quote over and over again and expecting it to be Einstein

Maybe not

As the hart longs for water brooks, so my soul longs for you, O God. Psalms 42:2
