Seven years after his sister Rena was murdered and he was severely injured in a terrorist attack at the Ein Dani spring, Dvir the sister and his wife are among the first families to settle in the new community of Neot Harim. The community is located between the settlements of Naveh Tzuf and Nachliel in the West Bank.
Dvir the sister's decision to build a life in this specific area is deeply connected to his family's experience since the attack, including his rehabilitation and the difficulty of returning to the site. His father, Rabbi Eitan the sister, had requested that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu establish a new settlement in the area during the week of mourning for his daughter.
Now, seven years after that plea, the new settlement has been established, and Dvir is one of its initial residents. The couple, who recently married and lived in southern Tel Aviv, sought to be part of building a new community. Dvir works for Bnei Akiva as a program manager, and his wife is an officer in the IDF.
Reflecting on the move, Dvir expressed his difficulty in adjusting to the new landscape, contrasting it with the urban environment of Tel Aviv. He stated, "We still can't grasp that a moment ago our view was buildings in southern Tel Aviv, and now look what an amazing view we have here." He added, "On a personal level, we have a blood connection to the place. Not far from here, seven years ago, I lost my sister in a terrorist attack in which my father and I were also injured. To return here not out of pain, but to establish a settlement, a family, and a home, is something difficult to explain in words."
During the inauguration ceremony of Neot Harim, Rabbi Eitan the sister recounted the visit of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Yisrael Gantz, the Head of the Benjamin Regional Council, during the Shiva (mourning period) for Rena. The sister reiterated his request to Netanyahu for the establishment of a settlement in the area. Gantz, who was also present, confirmed the persistence of Rabbi Eitan's plea to the Prime Minister for the settlement's creation.
