We’ll begin in Sderot, where you'll take in a panoramic view of the region as your guide shares the history and the significance of October 7th. Then, we’ll visit the Police Station Memorial, a site that stands as a tribute to extraordinary acts of bravery and resilience. We’ll also pay our respects at the monument for the Lookout Tower Girls, honoring those who were killed or kidnapped that day.
Next, we’ll stop at the lot of burned cars, a haunting yet powerful reminder of the tragic events. From there, we’ll visit the Nova Festival site, where you’ll hear personal stories and have a moment to reflect on those who lost their lives. We’ll also make a brief stop at a bomb shelter near a bus stop—a stark symbol of daily life in this region. This specific shelter became a refuge for those fleeing the attack, including Aner Shapira & Hersh Goldberg Polin, whose stories have become a testament to courage in the face of terror.
To truly connect with the human side of this story, we’ll visit a local kibbutz, where you’ll get a firsthand look at life in these close-knit communities. This visit depends on the goodwill of the kibbutz members, making it an authentic and personal experience if available.
