Surviving Oct 7th
Join us for a first-hand chilling account of the massacre & survival on Oct 7th by Eden Gefner.
On October 7th, Eden was visiting her parents at home, on Kibbutz Re-im. When the terrorists took over the kibbutz and broke into their home, Eden and her family hid in the attic. After 26 hours under fire, the family was rescued by the IDF and was evacuated from the Kibbutz. Her family survived but many of her neighbors and 400+ festival goers trying to escape from their surrounding fields did not.
