October 7th Learning Center

Eden Yerushalm (age 24) spent her last moments in a tunnel underground in Rafah, Gaza.

Like many other young people, she attended the Supernova festival on 10/7 where she was working as a bartender.

Eden and her friends fled the rave by car after the terror attack began, but the Gazans opened fire on their vehicle, murdering her friends Dorin Atias and Lior Maimon.

Eden hid from Hamas for hours, according to Times of Israel. But eventually her sisters heard gunshots on the line and Eden cried out, “They caught me!” before the phone went dead, according to TOI.

Eden was desperate to escape.

She had also called the police, begging them to send help. One sentence from the recording was released: “Find me, okay?”

After 11 months of being held in harsh conditions and starved of food, light and air, Eden was murdered by her captors in Palestine on August 29, 2024.

“She was an amazing sister, an amazing friend, she had a lot of friends, and now she’s our angel,” her sister May told CNN News.

Eden was a budding pilates instructor, a daughter, and a good friend to many 🎗️

Yesterday, we had the privilege of attending the JNF Women for Israel Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, where our representative Sapir Golan, a survivor of the Nova tragedy, shared her powerful story with an audience of 400 women. Her testimony moved everyone to tears, and by the end of her talk, the entire room rose in a standing ovation that seemed endless.

We are incredibly grateful to JNF for this unique opportunity, and to our amazing alumna, Einav Tugendhaft, for leading our delegation.
