Noa Farage, 22, from Tel Mond, was murdered at the Supernova music festival on October 7.

She is survived by her parents Vicky and David, brothers Tom and Sean, and the beloved family dog Churchill. She was buried in Tel Mond on October 10.

She loved to surf, a hobby she adopted from her father, and after her death her friends and family organized a surfing memorial circle in her honor.

Noa was slated to fly to southeast Asia on October 28 for a six-month trip she had been saving up for and planning for months.

Her friend Aya Goldstein wrote on Facebook that Noa was an active scout member and later a counselor in the movement, “and very much loved the community and the town” of Tel Mond where she grew up.

“Noa was a girl who spread light, joy and positivity everywhere she went. Until her final moment, she smiled, danced and loved life,” Goldstein wrote.

Noa went to the Supernova rave with her close friend, Roni Mendelson, who managed to survive the onslaught.

“That day I lost my best friend, and it will never be the same again,” Mendelson wrote on Instagram. “We were so excited in particular for this party because it was our last one before your flight. Who knew that it would really be our last party.”

Mendelson added: “Every festival we went to, everyone who saw us would tell us that we looked like fairies… You’re the most magical person I ever met, full of light and joy that infects everyone around you. We would show up to every festival with bubbles and lights just to bring joy to the dance floor and to make people smile.”

She said that her last tattoo was with Noa, and now “I got a tattoo about you, in your memory. My fairy, you are on me forever, and every time anyone asks me about it I will get to tell them about you. Because I have so many stories to tell.”

“I always thought that it’s a cliche but now I truly understand that God really does take the best. I love you my fairy and I will always love you.”
