About the event
Join Rhode Island Coalition for Israel (RICI) and Temple Sinai in Cranston for an evening with Din Tesler, "I Survived, My Best Friend is a Hostage": Survivor and Activist who will present on his experience surviving the Nova Festival attack on October 7, 2023 by Hamas terrorists.
Din Tesler, a survivor of the Nova Music Festival massacre and best friend of hostage Bar Kupershtein, has become a powerful advocate for truth and resilience. Traveling the globe, Din shares his harrowing story of survival and sheds light on the atrocities of October 7th, ensuring the world never forgets.
As a security commander at the Nova Music Festival, Din was among the first to confront the horrors of that tragic day. When the terrorist attack began, chaos erupted. Realizing the imminent danger, Din ran for his life
until he found refuge in a large cactus bush, alone for nine agonizing hours. As Din was cut off from the world, unbeknownst to him, his best friend Bar had been taken hostage.
Since that fateful day, Din has committed himself to raising awareness of the unimaginable events he witnessed and the profound impact they’ve had on survivors and their families. His testimony is a poignant reminder of the human cost of such atrocities and a call to action for justice and healing.
Real change starts with bold leadership—and strong supporters. Join Din Tesler and be part of the movement.
