Oz Moshe, 23: Devoted uncle, sports fan and karaoke star
Murdered by Hamas terrorists while trying to flee the Supernova music festival on October 7
Oz Ezra Moshe, 23, from Holon, was murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Supernova music festival on October 7.
He attended the rave with his girlfriend, Naomie Bikhar, and the pair tried to flee the festival grounds together in a car with Adiel Twito and Amit Buskila. Adiel was murdered and Amit was also slain and her body kidnapped to Gaza.
Oz was shot in the shoulder, and he and Naomie then got in a car with Motti Zoherman and Keshet Casarotti-Kalfa. Naomie was trying to stop his bleeding when terrorists approached them — while they were on a video call with family — and asked if they had a weapon. Naomie said no, and they immediately opened fire, killing all four of them.
Oz was buried on October 10 in Holon. He is survived by his parents, Rachel and Meir, and his four older siblings, Yoni, Moshe, Florin and Daizy.
The youngest in the family, Oz was born and raised in Holon, attending local schools. He was always interested in electronics, and worked as a cellphone technician, according to a municipal eulogy.
He was a devoted soccer fanatic, an ardent fan of the Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv team, filling his room with scarves and t-shirts expressing his devotion, and attended every game, including those abroad, his family said. He was very close to his family, always loving to play with his nieces and nephews and young cousins.
He also loved music and music festivals, was always the star of every karaoke party. Just a few months before he was killed, he attended the Ozora music festival in Hungary.
Oz and Naomie had been together for three years and were planning a life together, their loved ones said, talking about moving in together, a wedding, children and what their shared future would look like.
Marking 100 days since he was killed, Oz’s older sister, Daizy, lamented, “100 days that you no longer dream dreams, 100 days that you’re no longer trying to achieve them.”
“So much has changed, if only I could share with you some of the things that happened when you weren’t here,” she added. “With time I’ve learned that time doesn’t really heal anything — it only sharpens the painful and insane reality that you will stay a child of 23 forever, and I’ll never feel your enveloping hug or hear your rolling laughter again.”
In April, Oz’s brother Moshe marked “six months without your smile, six months without our joking together, six months that our heart is no longer whole, six months that the world stopped and doesn’t move, six months that you’re not with us — I love you my brother, I’ll never forget you.”
His mother, Rachel, wrote on Facebook, “Oz my righteous man, my true angel, my life — I miss you so much.”
“Not a day goes by that I don’t mention you and just cry from longing,” she continued. “I want to know that things are good for you — come to me in a dream and tell me how you are.”
Rachel said that Oz “loved to play with kids, that was your life, and I never got to see you have children, I wanted grandchildren from you so much.”
