Noa Englander

Killed at rave ‘in each other’s arms’ A couple since their IDF service, they were murdered at the Supernova music festival, October 7.

Noa Englander, 23, and her boyfriend, Noam Efraim, 24, were both murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Supernova music festival on October 7.

Efraim, a DJ, and Englander, met during their army service. On October 7, they attended a music festival in the desert during the holiday of Simhat Torah.

Noa’s mother, Lea Englander, wrote on Facebook about the loss of “two young people just starting out, that came to dance, be happy and enjoy.”

“They took her from us and she hadn’t even started to live life,” her mother added. “The most beautiful, the best, the smartest daughter… she was young, promising, talented, kind-hearted, pleasant and beloved. Everyone who knew her loved her.”

“Noa and Noam were killed and died in each other’s arms,” Lea continued. “In life and death they did not part. A huge loss for all of us… I can’t believe that she will never again see the light of day, see the sun, the sky the flowers.”

Sharon Efraim, Noam’s father, wrote on Facebook that he “cannot come to terms with the fact that we are sitting shiva… I know that even up in heaven you are making people happy and lifting everyone’s spirits with your music.”

Hiburim Productions, where Noam worked as a DJ, recalled him having “an endless smile, huge generosity, modesty and professionalism and such a unique way of always saying yes to every request and making sure to make people happy… you are already missed.”

Tomer Englander, Noa’s brother, wrote that he “cannot believe that you are not here.”

“We will remember you, who you are, in memories, experiences, and unending tears,” he added. “The pain will accompany us every day… every time we all meet up, every party we go to, every trip up north, every holiday, every Shabbat, every step, every breath — all of my life.”

“I hope that you are up there watching over us, with Noam your love,” he added. “Send us strength.”
