Information is accurate to the best of our knowledge.
In case of discrepancy between the Hebrew and the English, the Hebrew should take precedence.
Vivian Silver, z"l, was identified — via DNA evidence of remains found in her Kibbutz Be'eri home — as murdered over a month after October 7th. She was a renowned Canadian-born Israeli peace activist who dedicated her life to the people of Gaza.
Born in Winnipeg, Canada, she was the longtime director of the Arab Jewish Center For Empowerment, Equality, and Cooperation, which organized projects joining communities in Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. In 2014, after the last major war between Israel and Hamas, she helped found Women Wage Peace, which promotes peace-building actions among women from all communities and across the political spectrum.
