\"\"Keshet Casarotti Chalfaz”l<\/sup><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Keshet grew up in Kibbutz Samar in the southern Arava. A nature-loving child, he dreamt of becoming a pirate, going all the way from home to the dining room on his hands. Keshet loved parties, festivals, and exploring the world. True to his name, he was like a rainbow connecting with people of all colors and backgrounds. Keshet was tragically killed in a terrorist attack at a party in Raima on October 7, 2023, at the age of 21. He left behind grieving parents and two sisters.

Whenever he returned from an annual trip or was absent from home, his mom would welcome him with a large plate of Pasta Bolognese. Even last summer, when he returned from a festival tour in Europe, his mom waited for him with his pasta dish.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    Yael loved nature very much, and before her military service, she did a year of service in the Society for the Protection of Nature in Mitzpe Ramon. She was loved by everyone for her open heart, maturity, ego-free conduct, and genuine kindness. Yael served as a dry reconnaissance collector in the 414th Border Defense Battalion. Yael loved to embroider, and in the last year, she embroidered belts for her friends.
