Resilience and Rebuilding: Kibbutz Be'eri's Ongoing Journey

Avida Bachar, who lost his wife and son in a Hamas attack on Kibbutz Be'eri, continues to rebuild his life while caring for his daughter Hadar. As Be'eri's community returns and reconstructs, they face the challenge of restoring safety and unity amid lingering anger over the failure to protect them.

In the aftermath of a devastating Hamas attack, Avida Bachar stands resiliently at the heart of Kibbutz Be'eri's recovery effort. Almost a year since militants stormed through the community, killing Bachar's wife and son, the emotional scars remain deep but a spirit of perseverance prevails.

Bachar is now helping with the jojoba harvest and adjusting to life with a prosthetic leg. His optimism is fueled by his daughter Hadar, who survived the attack. Nevertheless, feelings of betrayal towards the Israeli government simmer, as residents demand more be done to secure the safe return of hostages taken during the attack.

The rebuilding process is slow, with communities temporarily displaced but determined to return and restore their home. The resilience of Be'eri's inhabitants embodies a broader theme of hope amid adversity, united by the conviction to reclaim their cherished homeland.
