Event Description
Noa Reuveni is an unexpected activist who grew up in the Gaza Envelope and evolved into a prominent spokesperson after her best friend, Ziv Berman, and his twin brother, Gali, were taken hostage on October 7. Born in Shahar, Israel, and having lived in Stockholm, Sweden, Noa has confronted antisemitism from both sides: against the Jewish state and the Jewish people. Now, she engages with thousands globally, motivating them through universal values of friendship and protection.
A former commander in the Israeli Defense Forces, Noa continues to serve in the reserves while passionately advocating for the hostages. She leads the initiative “Zer Tikva,” which raises awareness and support for the hostages by selling bouquets of yellow flowers. To date, “Zer Tikva” has generated over 8 million NIS for the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. The yellow flowers symbolize hope, connecting Jews worldwide and reinforcing their ties to each other and to Israel.
