Ben Binyamin Cohen, who was killed in the Nova music festival attack on October 7, is being memorialized by his family through his favorite dish, "aruk" patties. Cohen, the youngest son of Zahava and Rafael, was known for his love of hands-on work and always being ready to help others. His family described him as someone who "brought light and joy to the family" and was a "smart, creative, and curious child."
Cohen attended the Nova party with friends Eden, Yiftach, Dor, and Tamar, all of whom were also killed in the Hamas terrorist attack. His mother, Zahava, would often prepare his favorite meals, including schnitzel and the "aruk" patties, every Friday. The recipe for these patties was passed down from his grandmother, to whom he was very close.
The "Nova Tribe Community Association" shared the recipe with C14 to honor Ben's memory and the joy he brought to those around him. The recipe involves processing potatoes, pumpkin, zucchini, parsley, celery leaves, and onions, then mixing them with spices, eggs, and couscous flour to create a thick batter. The patties are then fried in canola oil until golden brown.
This initiative is part of a series of tributes to victims of the October 7 attacks, with other recipes for dishes loved by other victims, such as Bar Zohar and Uri Danino, also being shared.
