A songbook written by female soldiers at the Nachal Oz outpost, which survived the October 7th Hamas attack, will be brought to life by Israeli singers Noa Kirel and Yasmin Moalem. The soldiers, who served as observers and administrative staff, had a weekly tradition called "Tea Time" where they shared a festive meal and sang morale-boosting songs they had written themselves. These songs were collected in a special booklet.
On October 6, 2023, the soldiers held their final "Tea Time" before the Hamas attack the following morning. The outpost was attacked by Hamas terrorists on October 7th, resulting in the deaths, injuries, and abductions of soldiers. Amidst the ruins of the outpost, a small booklet was found, its pages singed but the songs still legible. The booklet, a testament to the soldiers' lives and shared moments, was passed to a group of parents.
"Our daughters did not survive, but their songbook survived the Hamas attack on October 7th completely," the parents stated. Three years later, the mothers of these soldiers are organizing a music event called "Tea Time" on October 23rd at Tel Aviv Port. The event aims to honor the fallen soldiers and continue the tradition they created, focusing on joy and music.
Kirel and Moalem are set to perform songs from the original booklet at the event. The festival will also feature art and graffiti installations to commemorate the soldiers through their creative expressions and passions. For the mothers, the event is an opportunity to share stories about their daughters beyond their tragic deaths, highlighting their friendships, humor, and the unique camaraderie that made their service feel more like home.
