Meatballs in sauce
Ofer Ron Z"L
Ofer was the eldest brother in his family. He loved photography, nature walks, gardening and music. He was very family oriented and loved life. Ofer was visually impaired due to retinal degeneration. It didn't stop him from being independent and he made sure to cook relatively simple things for himself since the kibbutz dining room closed. He was proud of it, and rightly so.
Ofer was murdered on October 7 in his home in Kibbutz Kissufim. Before the connection with his sister Tali was cut off, she asked him to lock the two front doors and close the safe room door. The terrorists discovered him early, led him into the living room and shot him His family misses him very much.
Ofer had trouble seeing, so he prepared simple dishes that did not require too much precision. It was important to him to prepare his own food, even though he started cooking at an older age, with the closing of the kibbutz dining hall. He was very proud that he also cooked a meat dish for himself. And it was delicious!
