Bearing Witness
A private, respectful memorial tour following the events of October 7, 2023. We come to remember, to bear witness, and to honor the memory of those who were lost — guided with care through the communities of the western Negev.
“To remember is to give the fallen a place among the living. We walk this ground quietly, together, so that their stories are never forgotten.”
Efrati Holyland ToursA Guided Journey of Remembrance
A full day through the sites of October 7, accompanied by a licensed guide who tells the story with sensitivity and care. Timings are approximate and adapt to conditions on the ground.

11:15
Sderot — The Police Station
We drive to the city of Sderot and visit the site of the police station, with an explanation of the events that unfolded here on October 7.
14:30
Toward the Gaza Envelope Communities
From the Sha’ar HaNegev Junction we drive toward the Re’im area. Along the way, the guide shares the story of the kibbutzim and the events that took place within them.
The Nova Site — Re’im Parking Lot
We arrive at the Nova festival site at the Re’im parking lot, where so many young people were murdered on October 7, 2023. Here we pause to unite with their memory and visit the memorials and gravestones that have been raised in their honor.
Return via Tekuma
We drive back through Tekuma, passing the site where the vehicles from that day have been gathered as a lasting testimony.
Return to Sderot
We conclude the day back in Sderot. A moment to reflect before the journey home.
The Nova Site at Re’im
In a quiet grove of eucalyptus trees near Re’im, thousands had gathered to celebrate life and music. On the morning of October 7, that celebration became one of the darkest chapters of the day.
Today the grove is a place of pilgrimage and memory. Photographs, flowers, flags and personal memorials mark where each young life was cut short. We walk it slowly, in silence and in respect, letting the place speak.
Through the Western Negev
From Sderot, through the Sha’ar HaNegev communities, to the Nova site at Re’im — and back via Tekuma.
Approximate route — the itinerary and access to each site depend on conditions on the ground and the instructions of the army and police.
