The family of Aviad Dery, who was murdered on October 7 in Kfar Aza, chose to commemorate him in an extraordinary way: a food truck named "Achi Aviad." What began as a family memorial quickly turned into a successful food truck, where people come for the food and stay for the story. Inside the home in Kfar Aza where Aviad lived, time has stood still, but the family decided that his story would not remain only within those walls. The food truck operates vigorously, the kitchen works nonstop, and people come, order, sit, and laugh. Aviad's name has moved from the photos in the house to the sign above the kitchen, and from the family's stories to the thousands of people who already know "Achi Aviad." For the family, every dish that comes out of the kitchen, every table that fills up, and every new person who learns the name Aviad is another way to keep him here.
