Chabad of Key Largo and the Upper Keys is hosting an upcoming visit of Elinor Bitton Bariach, a survivor of the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attack on Kibbutz Kfar Aza.
Her visit will allow attendees to remember the victims, thank God for the return of the hostages and honor the lives forever changed by that tragic day.
On Sunday, Oct. 26, the Key Largo and Upper Keys community will hear Bariach’s firsthand account of survival and loss. For more than 20 hours, Bariach and her family hid in their safe room while terrorists stormed their kibbutz, murdering, burning and kidnapping neighbors and friends. Her story is one of pain and courage, and her testimony aims to ensure that the memories of those who were taken, murdered or held in captivity will never be forgotten.
The event, held at the Murray Nelson Government Center, will provide attendees an opportunity to bear witness, reflect and stand in unity with Israel and all those affected by the Oct. 7 attack.
“We are deeply honored to welcome Elinor to Key Largo and to provide a platform for her to share her heartbreaking yet powerful story,” said Rabbi Yisroel Shur, director of Chabad of Key Largo. “Her visit reminds us of the sacred responsibility to remember the victims, to thank God for the safe return of the hostages, and to stand together in compassion and solidarity.”
This event is free and open to all, but RSVP is required at chabadkeylargo.com/survivor.
