In Memoriam of:
Limor Permuter
Age: 49
From: Beersheba
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.
Limor Vaknin Permuter, 49, from Beersheba, was murdered by Hamas terrorists while fleeing the Supernova music festival on October 7.
Alina Master, who attended the rave and was wounded but survived, described to the Kan media outlet getting in a car with Limor to flee the festival amid rocket fire, and stopping on the side of the road to seek cover in a bomb shelter.
Seconds after they entered the shelter, a rocket hit the car, “and we thought, ‘Wow, ok, we survived, what a miracle,'” recounted Master. They were sheltering alongside Sefi Genis and Gal Navon, who were also both killed along with Limor when terrorists fired inside the structure. Alina said that Limor embraced her as the terrorists fired, undoubtedly saving her life.
Limor texted her brother from inside the shelter: “I’m so scared, tell everyone that I loved them. Everyone is dying here… I’m bleeding to death.”
Eight days later, her body was found, and she was buried on October 15 in Beersheba.
She is survived by her husband, Herbert, three children, Ori, Ofek and Ariel, as well as her parents and siblings. An accountant by trade, Limor was remembered as a devoted friend who loved to dance the night away.
“She was always looking to dance,” her sister, Adi Atias, told Kan. “In recent years she connected very much to women’s circles, retreats, parties… She was looking to live.”
Her friend Limor Zano Klein wrote on Facebook that they had been friends in high school and reconnected seven years ago while getting their master’s degrees.
“You went out to dance like you loved and you just never came home,” wrote Zano Klein. “Thank you for the privilege of walking alongside you on your journey. Thank you for all the moments of enjoyment and fun that we experienced together, at raves, on the beach, during our deep conversations and intense experiences we had together… You are always in my heart.”
Her friend and coworker Simona Gosalker wrote, “I will remember your smile forever, you brought so much light into the office, so much energy. My heart is broken and refuses to believe… your true love was to dance to the beats of music and that is what you did until your last moment.”
Her friend Diti Alon described her as “so much life inside one woman — so much smiling and dancing and flying — how can I even describe that Limor the powerful is no longer. After all, she is a genius in everything. She would scoff that I was falling into cliches. Perhaps she still is.”
Marking 100 days since she was killed, her sister Adi wrote on Facebook about: “100 days that you’re not here, 100 days of endless longing, 100 days of living with a broken heart, 100 days of loving you, from afar, too far,” she wrote.
“My sister, my love, my soul, I love you. I will always be here for you like you are here for me,” she wrote.

Remembrances of Limor Permuter
A life beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered.
Here we celebrate the memories, the joys, and the life of Limor Permuter.
My name is Shalom Huberfeld. Shortly after October 7 I saw Limor's name on a web list called "Kaddish for Kedoshim". For this past year I said Kaddish in Limor's memory. I am a child of Survivors, and I live in Lawrence, NY
This past February my wife, my son and I went to the Nova site, and we saw the monument to Limor. We also learned the story of how she was murdered in the bus stop.
As I heard what happened at the bus stop, how they were trying to hide as they are the shooting outside, it evoked a memory of my mother's from Shmini Atzeret 1942. That was the day that the Nazis Yemach Shemam came into my mother's town of Wislica, Poland. Until that day they had been largely spared from most of the tragedy of the holocaust. My mother with her parents and her brother ran to a bunker they had prepared and hid for 3 days along with 30 other people. My mother told me how she heard the shooting of the machine guns outside as those were not as fortunate were killed on the spot or taken away to Treblinka. As I hear the words of my mother speaking about her experience I can only imagine what was going through Limor's mind during those last few moments.
I plan to include Limor's memory in my Yizkor Tefilot as I remember the memory of parents, Zichronam Lebracha, as well as the memory of their families, who like Limor, perished Al Kiddush Hashem. If you have a chance please send me her full Hebrew name with her father's name.
