Ofer was the eldest brother in his family. He loved photography, nature, gardening and music. He was very family oriented and loved life. Ofer was visually impaired due to retinal degeneration. This didn’t stop him from being independent and he made sure to cook relatively simple things for himself ever since the kibbutz dining room closed. He was proud of it, and rightly so. Ofer was murdered on October 7th, 2023 in his home located in Kibbutz Kissufim. His family misses him very much.
