In Memoriam of:
Or Akuni
From: Netiv HaAsara
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.
Or, z"l, was murdered in her Netiv HaAsara home together with her parents, Arye and Ruti. She was a beloved educator, wife, and community member making sure newcomers would immediately feel at home. She also fostered dogs as part of the "Lives of Others Association."
"The woman of my life was picked off and murdered in cold blood by cruel, bloodthirsty terrorists along with her parents in a surprise attack on their home in Moshav Netiv HaAsara.
"Or Akuni, a foster carer of the association, is a young, bright, wonderful girl, with a pure heart. May we know no more sorrow. Rest in peace and reap the fruits of your blessed labor in the land."

"Ms. Or, you gave us hope when we were struggling, you made a foreign land home to most of us by your loving, caring and motherly actions, our hearts are broken dear love, you have gone so soon. She never missed checking on me, she never missed visiting her students, Ms. Or Akuni, may you rest with the angels and may the family be comforted by the almighty God, your kindness shall never be forgotten. Rest well with the angels mummy Or."

"Rest in peace Ms. Or Akuni. Who knew you would be gone so soon. You were so great and down to earth probably the most humane human I've ever met in my life. You will forever be an inspiration to us all. We will love you forever. Let this war end please."

"I can't believe I'm writing this and my heart refuses to believe it. A light like your name so you would spread light wherever you were present! Our Akuni, you were like a sister, a friend, a mother and one big soul who always had a smile on her face and an indescribable joy of life. Caring for everyone around you and only wanting the best for others, a girl who is all about giving with a heart of gold! I write with tears and cannot digest the bitter news we received. Watch over us from above and may you rest in heaven forever. T.N.C.B.H"

"It's Or, she was murdered yesterday in Netiv HaAsara.
She wasn't just there on the screen, she had a face.
She was my friend in high school, so amazing and one of a kind. Not for nothing, one that was always smiling at everyone she knew and a huge heart full of love for everyone.
I will remember how much light she would always bring to everyone who came across her path.
As her name is.
My heart is broken and shattered."

"The woman of my life was picked off and murdered in cold blood by cruel, bloodthirsty terrorists along with her parents in a surprise attack on their home in Moshav Netiv HaAsara.
They fought and returned fire but unfortunately it was not successful. Please those of you who can please read a chapter of Psalms for the uplifting of the souls of Or Akuni daughter of Arlat, Arlat daughter of Esther, and Aryeh son of Rachel."
- Jonathan Cohen
"She was my best friend, my confidant, my toughest critic.
Ruthie and Aryeh are two parents.
Family.
We will remember you forever, we will commemorate the sacrifice."
