On October 7th, Noa’s lifelong best friend, Ziv Berman, and his twin brother, Gali Berman, were kidnapped from their homes at Kibbutz Kfar Aza and taken hostage in Gaza by Hamas. Their fate remains unknown. Noa, one of the last people to speak with Ziv before the attack, has since become a key member of the Hostage Family Forum. She gives daily lectures at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv, translating the experiences of hostage families and friends for the Western world.

Noa’s commitment to keeping these stories alive has intensified. This event will feature Noa’s personal account of the ongoing impact of the kidnappings and her tireless efforts to ensure that the hostages are not forgotten. The event aims to raise awareness and underscore the importance of remembering these stories to prevent history from repeating itself.
