In Memoriam of:

Yonatan Kotz

Age: 16

From: Kibbutz Kfar Aza

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.

Yonatan Kotz, z"l, was murdered in his Kibbutz Kfar Aza family home along with his entire family: mother Livnat and father Aviv, as well as brother Yiftach (14 y.o.) and sister Rotem (19 y.o.). The rescuers found the entire family dead, hugging in bed, with the parents covering the children from above. 

Both brothers were players in the academy of the basketball club Hapoel Tel Aviv.

His friends tell about an amazing boy, with a sense of humor and a huge heart.

Yonathan and Yiftech's aunt spoke and told about their childhood in the kibbutz: "They were children of nature, they always walked barefoot. They loved basketball more than anything, and every time you came to their house you saw the basket in the parking lot and strange balls on the grass. There was always basketball on the TV, and in the background talk about his moves basketball".
