Israeli media personality and social media influencer Maayan Adam is preparing to welcome her third child with partner Yuval Tzelner, while also grappling with the impending third anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attacks. Adam, who was diagnosed with a rare ovarian cancer in September 2024 and previously shared that she would be unable to carry another pregnancy herself, is due to give birth soon. She is mother to two children, Tamar and Kdam.
As the anniversary approaches, Adam is expressing her deep sorrow and longing for her younger sister, Mifal Adam, who was murdered at the Supernova music festival. The absence of her sister is particularly poignant as she anticipates the birth of her new son. Adam shared on Monday that she placed a photo of Mifal next to her hospital bag to ensure she wouldn't forget her sister amidst the excitement of labor. She recounted an incident where a new cleaner mistakenly returned the photo to its place, causing her significant pain.
Recalling the birth of her daughter Tamar, Adam remembered how Mifal was present, filled with joy, and made them laugh despite crying. They had imagined Mifal's own future childbirth, anticipating her dramatic nature and low pain threshold, and feeling pity for their mother. Now, Adam is heartbroken that Mifal will not be there for her son's birth and will not share in the happiness of her family.
Adam also reflected on the nature of mourning, stating, "It's a bit strange that there is a day of mourning, because all I want is for there to be one day that is not mourning, a normal day when my mother is happy and my family is whole."
