Ofir, Hashem Yikom Damo

A true gut punch this morning, when it was announced that my friend Ofir was killed in captivity by Hamas. Ofir and I were on the 834 Dvora boat together during my army service. I will remember him as a funny, kind, smiley, brave, energetic team-player, who loved to mess and joke around. I imagined the end of his story in Gaza being one where he told us all about how he played backgammon with the terrorists and won most of the games.

He went to the party to celebrate his 27th birthday with his girlfriend, and heroically let others (including her) escape in the car before him.
I hope you find peace wherever you are, and that you can always watch the sun setting into the sea like we loved.
ה יקום דמו, יהי זכרו ברוך.
