Author and content creator Hadassa Ben Ari, ex-wife of singer Hanan Ben Ari, described a deeply moving Shabbat experience in Jerusalem. She began the weekend by participating in the ancient tradition of "Shirat Ha'בקשות" (Songs of Supplication) at the historic Adas Synagogue in the Nahlaot neighborhood. Ben Ari shared on Instagram that the opening of the season for these songs was "fire."

The most significant part of her weekend, however, involved a tribute to Sergeant Tomer Negar, a Golani Brigade soldier who fell in the battle of Kissufim on October 7th. Ben Ari posted a picture of a suitcase containing a "Tomer Beer" package, part of a memorial project for Negar. She stated she wouldn't go anywhere without these "moving beers" and promised her followers more details about a special evening she spent with Tomer's father, Ezra, whom she called a "legend."

Her followers now await further details about the meeting between Ben Ari and Ezra Negar.
