Keren Peles Shares Emotional Struggle on Third Anniversary of October 7th

Singer and songwriter Keren Peles shared her personal struggles with the national day of remembrance on Instagram, marking three years since the October 7th massacre. Peles described how memories of that "terrible morning" resurface, bringing with them difficult emotions and increased emotional eating. In a video of herself eating an ice pop, she humorously remarked, "My sugar consumption has increased drastically these days. I assume I'm not the only one. What difficult days, God!". She then asked her followers if it was the "tastiest popsicle in the world," adding, "Is this even fruit? I'm eating fruit.". Peles later posted comforting footage of dogs and chicks, calling it "another serving of fruit."

Peles' connection to the October 7th events is both national and personal. She has been active in supporting victims of terrorism, the families of hostages, and evacuees. She co-wrote the song "Litzot MiDikaon" (To Get Out of Depression) and other works aimed at strengthening the home front and soldiers. Peles also volunteers at evacuation centers, hospitals, and memorial events across the country.

This emotional sharing comes after a period of significant personal changes for the singer, including moving house and adopting a dog named Pepper, whom she frequently features on social media. She recently returned from a family vacation in Greece with her ex-husband and the father of her two children, former model Noam Tor. Despite these personal events, the difficult feelings surrounding the third anniversary of the massacre highlight how even moments of respite and routine are overshadowed by the memories of that morning that continue to affect everyone.
