Erick Peretz, 58, and his 16-year-old daughter, Ruth, were murdered by Hamas while attending the Supernova music festival on October 7. Erick had taken Ruth, who was born with cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, and used a wheelchair, to the festival because of her love of music. “For years he would go to these festivals and bring Ruth because it made her really happy and she loved it,” said Ya’arit Peretz, Erick’s daughter, and Ruth’s sister. “There were times he would take her and she didn’t want to come home. It was their tradition, to go to festivals.” The pair were both missing for many days as their family searched frantically for information before they were informed that their bodies had been found more than 10 days after the attack. Erick devoted his life to Ruth. He was an incredible father, a man with a free spirit, who loved everyone and was always smiling. May the memories of Erick and Ruth forever be a blessing.
