Father of Fallen Hero to Write Wedding Contract for Eli-H Cohen and Ziv Avud

Nearly three years after the October 7 massacre, Eli-H Cohen and Ziv Avud are preparing for their wedding, marking a poignant moment of closure. The couple announced that Moshe Shapira, father of the late Iner Shapira who heroically fought and saved many lives in the "death pillbox" in Re'im, will write their ketubah (Jewish marriage contract). Eli-H Cohen and Ziv Avud expressed deep emotion over this connection, describing it as a "circle closing" that is difficult to put into words. They emphasized that Iner was part of a life-changing moment for them and that having his father participate in their wedding symbolizes choosing life and love after a long journey since that tragic day.

The wedding is scheduled for August 19, 2026, exactly one week from the announcement, and will serve not only as a celebration of love but also as a moment of remembrance and continuation of life. The couple thanked Moshe Shapira for this special bond and the honor of his involvement. This event highlights the enduring impact of the October 7 attack and the resilience of those affected.
