Din Nehorai Bar

She added: “I’ll never forget our most beautiful moments together, our hilarious nights when you would sit and play with my hair for hours. It was always you and I against the world, never you and I against each other… You were the person who put a smile on my face every day and made me laugh so much and did only good in this life.”

Shoam’s girlfriend, Almog Cohen, wrote on social media that he was “the purest person there was, always did everything with true intentions… A boy with a captivating smile who loved simply enjoying and dancing.”

“The love of my life, I can’t believe that I need to sum up our experiences, I was sure that we were forever,” she added. “From the moment I met you we had an indescribable connection, people didn’t understand why we didn’t let each other go, how we weren’t sick of being together 24/7, but what nobody understood was that we were each other’s escape, from the good, from the bad and from anything that sat on our hearts.”

Lian wrote of her uncle Din, “You were the best uncle that could be, I cannot come to terms with all this — you were a person with a huge heart. It’s crazy to go past your barber shop and not see you in there working. You were the best person in [our town], everyone loved you and your work. I promise that I will watch over Kai and will be with him forever.”

Din’s co-worker, Ron Keren, described him as “more than a friend, a brother — from nursery school… until a partnership in the same career that started way back at age 13, how time flies.”

“You were so strong, it didn’t matter what you went through — and you went through a lot — you were always accompanied by optimism and a smile,” wrote Keren. “You had a smile, my brother, which could make every bad thought be forgotten… Dinus, I promise to do everything to immortalize you and spirit and your path.”

Keren noted that Din had started an initiative to volunteer to cut hair in an old age home in their town and that a group of barbers had continued and expanded the project in his honor.

Asi Bar, Shoam’s father and Din’s brother, got three tattoos two months after they were killed: Shoam’s name and birth date, Din’s name and birth date, and the logo and date of the Supernova festival.

“I can’t come to terms with the fact that I won’t see you and Din ever again,” he wrote on social media. “I look for you in every place and speak to you but there is never any answer. My beautiful souls, I miss you.”

“I am thirsty for your touch, for the sounds of your voices, for your beautiful smiles,” he added later. “My heart has an enormous hole forever. I wait for you night and day and cannot comprehend that we will never meet again.”
