A Walking Tour of Oct 7th at Kibbutz Reim: How 6 Men Fought Off 100 Terrorists- A Hero’s Tale

Sunday 10.12.2023

Summary

Join us for a walking tour of Kibbutz Reim with Imri. On Oct 7th Kibbutz Reim was surrounded by hundreds of Hamas terrorists with heavy weaponry and civilian homes were viciously attacked. Imri and his 5 person security team defended the Kibbutz for more than 10 hours with light arms.

Imri walks us around the “battleground” - his home, school, and the Kibbutz grounds explaining what happened where, including where many of the Nova partygoers sought shelter.

We will see the devastation wrought on this community and hear a story of true heroism. Among the great sadness you will see the hope Imri and his community have of rebuilding and returning to the beautiful home they love.

Justine Fisher was born in Cape Town, South Africa. She currently lives and works in Watermill, NY, where she creates large-scale oil paintings that blend abstraction and figuration, landscapes and domestic interiors, and the real and the uncanny. Working within these liminal spaces, Fisher builds numerous gestural layers of color, form, and texture to create works that draw from traditional genres, art history, her own personal experiences, and the natural world to investigate the complexity of human nature, intellect, and desire. Justine received her MFA in 2013 from the New York Academy of Art, her BFA in 2010 from the School of Visual Arts, New York, and her BA in Art History in 2007 from New York University Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions organized by Weosky Gallery, Berlin, Germany (2013); New York Academy of Art, New York, NY (2013 and 2012); Sotheby’s, New York, NY (2011), and Phillips de Pury, New York, NY (2010).
