Amir Tibon moved with his wife Miri to the pastoral Kibbutz Nahal Oz, right on the Gaza border, after the 2014 Israel-Gaza war.

The couple, then without children, wanted to support the small community. They fell in love with the place and stayed. A year ago, they bought a house there.

On the morning of October 7, the sounds of falling mortars drove the couple into the reinforced “safe room” in which daughters Galia, 3 and Carmel, 1, were sleeping.  Listen to his dramatic story here in front of a live audience in Manhattan.
