Tamar Samet
20

Tamar, from Pardes Hanna, attended the Supernova festival with Laor Abramov, the son of DJ “Darwish'' David Abramov. Both Tamar and Laor were murdered while hiding in a concrete bunker outside the festival. Tamar was declared missing for several days following the attack, until her remains were discovered. She was laid to rest on October 15 at the Ein Iron cemetery in Pardes Hannah.
Since October 7, Tamar has garnered significant attention in Israel. A song she had recorded with her best friend was released posthumously, contributing to her rising fame. Musician Ben Ronen shared the song "How I Burned a Bridge'' in December while serving as a combat medic in Gaza. In an interview with Haaretz, he recounted climbing a hill in Gaza to improve reception and sending his Spotify username and password to a friend with instructions to release the song. Following its release, the song gained traction on radio and quickly went viral in Israel.
On a rainy day in late January, Tamar’s mother Adi posted a clip of her sitting in her car listening to Galgalatz (Israeli radio station) as “How I Burned a Bridge '' came from the speakers and rain fell on the windshield.
“Our beloved Tamar, you are missed, even though you’re on every radio station. Thank you so much for leaving us with a warm, embracing voice to take comfort in.”
