All tours

The present is continuous, and the past feels fleeting. But where this tour takes us, we see history in the making.

On October 7th, 2023, a coordinated attack by Hamas shattered the quiet of Shabbat morning. What followed was the deadliest day in Israel’s history since its founding—touching cities, kibbutzim, highways, and homes.

Itinerary

  1. The Nova Music Festival Site

    Once a place of joy and dance, now a symbol of horror. Learn what happened hour by hour as festival-goers tried to flee.

  2. Kibbutzim like Be’eri, Kfar Aza, and Nir Oz

    Walk the paths of communities torn apart. See where civilians resisted, hid, or fell.

  3. Sderot and Ofakim

    Towns that faced gunmen on their streets. We explore both the security failures and the stories of heroism and survival.

  4. Shelters and Safe Rooms

    How did civilians protect themselves—or couldn’t? What role did these spaces play?

  5. Road 232

    The lifeline turned killing field. Understand its strategic and symbolic role during the attack and the IDF’s response.

Along the way, you’ll hear survivor testimonies where possible, see memorials that are still evolving, and grapple with the complexity of mourning, rage, resilience, and memory.
