Noy Zefrani

Noy Tiferet Zafraani, 27, was murdered in Hamas’s October 7 attack on Psyduck music festival near Kibbutz Nirim.

She was killed along with her fiancé Yuval Rabia, and his brother Noam.

Zafraani was laid to rest on October 17 in Nokdim, and leaves behind her parents and six brothers and sisters.

Her friends and family remember her as a joyful, funny young woman, who loved to sing more than anything and always saw the best in the people around her. Zafraani was a singer, dancer and actress, who also played the ukulele and the guitar. She studied at the Beit Zvi School for Performing Arts in Ramat Gan.

“My heart would leave my body hearing you sing. We had a song we always sung together, by Cat Stevens, that now holds a terrible meaning, “It’s breaking my heart you’re leaving, baby I’m grieving’,” her father Ze’ev Zafraani said in his eulogy.

In her eulogy, Zafraani’s mother Chava sobbed, “I wondered when you would find The One. Six months ago you introduced us to Yuval and said, ‘Mom, he is going to be my husband.’ And from one day to the next, you were more beautiful, calmer, and happier. When Yuval asked for my blessing I was so happy.”

“You told me that all your dreams had come true — a car, an iPhone, great nails and the perfect husband. You felt like you’d finally found yourself. And you so deserved all of that,” her sister Mor eulogized, relating conversations she’d had with Zafraani during the High Holidays, just days before she was murdered.

The Psyduck festival was an outdoor trance party held the same weekend as the Supernova festival, over the Simhat Torah holiday.
