Barak Lufan z"l1/2/1987-4/8/2022

The Night of the Attack

On Thursday, April 7th, 2022, Barak left home and took a bus to Tel Aviv to meet with his childhood friends from the kibbutz. He hadn’t ordered his drink yet when a terrorist began shooting indiscriminately at a Dizengoff bar, killing two young civilians (Eitam Megini and Tomer Morad, RIP) and wounding dozens more, including Barak, who suffered severe injuries. Barak, an athlete, was physically strong and fought valiantly for his life in the hospital. Despite receiving the utmost care from some of the best surgeons and doctors, Barak eventually succumbed to his wounds after an uphill battle.

Why are we raising money?

Nothing can or will ever fill the void left by Barak’s murder. Dana and her three young children, Yuval, age 5, Amit, age 3, and Dor, only five months old, lost a loving husband and father, an enormous personal toll. However, empathy and solidarity will help them avoid the financial burden of this tragedy. This fundraiser and your donation will support Barak’s family in their journey to recovery and help them rebuild a decent and respectful life. Please donate to the best of your ability. Thank you.
