Ori Donino, a young man from Jerusalem, displayed exceptional bravery during the tragic events at the Nova festival. Despite the dangers, Ori returned to save others. Ambushed by terrorists, he was wounded and captured, spending 11 long months in captivity in Gaza. During this harrowing time, his family received limited updates, yet his mother’s faith remained unshaken. Tragically, Ori was killed after enduring months of hardship, but his family viewed his return, even in death, as a final miracle.
His mother now shares his heroic legacy across the world, highlighting faith, unity, and resilience. Even Ori’s younger sister, instead of praying for his return, asked for the Messiah’s arrival, reflecting the profound faith of the family in the face of unimaginable loss.
