Israeli actress, musician, and journalist Bar Belfer passed away Sunday morning at the age of 36. Belfer gained recognition for her role in the 2006 film "Someone to Run With," for which she won an Israeli Television Academy Award. She was only 17 when she starred in the film, directed by Oded Davidoff and based on the novel by David Grossman. In the movie, Belfer portrayed Tamar, a young musician searching for her brother in Jerusalem, who becomes entangled in a dangerous plot at an orphanage.

In August 2006, she became the youngest nominee for an Ophir Award, competing against established actresses Ayelet Zurer, Gila Almagor, and Assi Levy. After her military service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), where she served as a news reporter for Galei Tzahal (Army Radio), Belfer went on to become the foreign desk editor for the station.
