Keshet grew up on Kibbutz Samar located in the Southern Arava. He was a wild child who dreamt of pirates and was known to walk on his hands all the way from the house to the Kibbutz dining room. Keshet loved parties, festivals and traveling the world. Like his name (meaning rainbow in Hebrew), he connected with people of all colors and types and backgrounds. Keshet was murdered at the Nova party terrorist attack on October 7th, 2023. He was 21 years old and is survived by his parents and two sisters.
