Fighting for Families
On October 7th, when Shifra Buchris heard news of the attack on the Supernova musical festival, she immediately sprung into action. Despite it being the Sabbath, the 45-year-old Orthodox mother of 10 voluntarily headed into the treacherous scene to help save as many young people as possible.
Buchris and her colleagues entered the site in two personal, non-armored vehicles and embarked on a 12-hour fight to rescue victims. Navigating between the incoming bullets and piles of corpses, Bucharis and her team transported the wounded to safety.
A self-proclaimed “fighter at heart,” Bucharis says she was determined to “reunite as many children as possible with their families at home.” As a mother of 10, with 2 daughters actively fighting in the war, Bucharis couldn’t help but think of the families whose lives would be forever changed. Undoubtedly, her bravery and altruism ensured the reunion of countless families.
