Every kind of shoe, from slippers and sneakers to sandals, boots, hiking shoes and heels now line Tel Aviv’s beach promenade, part of an installation created today by Osnat Sharabi, whose two brothers, Yossi and Eli Sharabi, were taken hostage on October 7 from Kibbutz Be’eri.
Sharabi brought two pickup trucks of donated shoes to the boardwalk Sunday morning, because “people have to enter our shoes, walk in our footsteps,” she says. “I’m also showing them the way home.”
