Adi Danan

Age: 20

From: Yavne

In Loving Memory of the Innocent Souls Taken Too Soon. United in peace, their light shines on in the hearts left behind. October 7, 2023, a day of sorrow, but their memories guide us toward a hopeful tomorrow.

Staff Sgt. Adi Danan, z"l, 20, from Yavne fell in battle in the Gaza Strip.

Danan was spending Simchat Torah at home and planned to celebrate his birthday with his twin sister on Sunday. When the war broke out, he was called to the Gaza border that very morning. "Before he left for the battalion, he hugged me tightly. When we separated he said 'I love you, I'll be back' and he didn't come back," said twin sister Linoy, who serves as an IDF human resources officer.

Friday was Adi's last conversation with his mother, Vered and his twin sister. "He told us 'they are taking our phones, I love you.' We told him to take care of himself." On Tuesday, even before they learned of Adi's death, Linoy felt that something had happened. "I had a bad feeling all day, and in the evening I cried non-stop even before they came to tell us."

"He recently finished a military course and took care of his soldiers. He was insanely talented, a guy with a big heart of gold who loved life. He was a good friend and a perfect brother," said Linoy. "We were babies who grew up together, he was a sensitive person with values, the strongest in the world, the most beautiful in the world. A hero. We will be strong for him."

Dear Adis family

I didn’t know Adi but my daughter came home from school clutching a recipe card and determined to make his bubble cookies.

So I am currently tracking down hawajj spice and looking forward to baking them in his memory.

His smile is now engrained in my mind and I’ve been reading about what a brave and special person he was.

I might not have known him but he fought for all of us and we are so proud of him and send our love to you all.

When my daughter was asked what Israel meant to her on Yom hatzmaut at school in London, she said “family.” It’s not easy to explain how even though you don’t know someone you can feel the pain but we do. We have felt it strongly since the 7th. I think family is a good word to explain the connection and feelings.

We will hold onto his memory and share his recipe and story.

Debbie
