Here lived
Sa’id (David) and Adina Moshe lived with joy and great love in this home.
Sa’id was a well-loved and loving person, who valued people and treasured life.
He was a father of four and a grandfather of 12, all who were fortunate to spend much time with him, laughing at his jokes, trying to solve his riddles, traveling with him in his pickup truck through the fields, and learning from him to love the land, the soil, and agriculture.
For many years, Sa’id managed the field crops in Kibbutz Nir Oz. The fields, agriculture, and Zionism were a way of life for him.
For many (frustrated) decades, Sa’id was a devoted fan of HaPoel Tel Aviv. He loved sports and knew every league table by heart. He had a strong financial and economic mind, and those close to him benefited from it. Sa’id loved food, especially sweets. He delighted in the first rain of the season, adored the songs of Shlomo Artzi, held a deep affection for the home he came from, and deeply cherished his mother, Najia z”l. Above all, he loved his family, and was devoted to his wife, Adina.
Sa’id brought calm and a sense of security to those around him. He approached every problem with serenity, wisdom, and practical understanding.
He had a distinctive, contagious laugh and smile; he was optimistic, kind, caring, and warm-hearted.
October 7th
On that terrible Saturday, terrorists broke into their home and tried to break down the safe room door, but failed. Sa’id, who held the door and prevented it from being opened, was wounded in his leg by bullets that penetrated the door.
The terrorists went out to the safe room window and detonated it with explosives. They succeeded in blowing it open and entered the safe room, firing in all directions. They seized Adina and kidnapped her through the window. A terrorist then returned to the safe room and murdered the wounded Sa’id by gunfire.
Adina was taken hostage into Hamas tunnels.
What Happened Since
Adina was held captive in a tunnel in Khan Younis with other hostages from Nir Oz and Nirim, and was released in the first phase of the November deal, after 49 days.
Sa’id was buried in Kibbutz Nir Oz.
You were a strong and beloved pillar of our family.
You will be loved and missed forever.
Today, Adina lives with the Nir Oz community in Karme Gat alongside her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, who survived the massacre of October 7.
