The colors she lives by: How one mother is keeping her son's memory alive after October 7

Adital Zu Aretz is honoring the memory of her son, Ilai Baram, who was killed during the October 7 attacks near the Nova music festival site. Following his death, Zu Aretz began painting as a means of processing her grief and maintaining a connection to her son.

To further preserve his memory, she has authored two books detailing her experience with loss. These creative projects serve as a personal method for navigating the aftermath of the tragedy and sharing her ongoing journey of remembrance.
