"And then just the craziest amount of shots I've ever heard and then complete silence,"
"I went to the Nova [music festival] site. I saw all the markers for all the young people, like not that far from our age, that died there,"
"Our group decided that it would be a very fitting time to host a survivor of Oct. 7, specifically on the day before Yom Kippur begins,"
"We remember those who have fallen."
Oriya Ness Berlin, 21, was an unarmed Israel Defense Forces observer in Re'im during the Oct. 7 attack. Sixty terrorists infiltrated the area; she hid in a safe room while hearing peers murdered nearby and was one of only a few survivors. Nearly 200 students, faculty, and parents attended the Stuyvesant High School event organized by the Jewish Student Union. Jonathan Tetry, JSU president and a junior, helped organize the talk to encourage students to turn to each other rather than social media. Rabbi Efraim Tepler noted timing the event before Yom Kippur to remember those who fell and to promote dialogue between Jewish and non-Jewish students.
