"We have a blood connection to this place": Dvir Snerb establishes a settlement near the site where his sister was murdered
Seven years after the attack in which his sister Rena was murdered and he was seriously injured, Dvir Snerb and his wife are joining the founders of the new settlement "Neot Harim" in Binyamin, near the scene of the attack. Dvir, who married about a year ago and now works as a program manager for development town pre-military academy students at Bnei Akiva, says the decision to join the settlement's establishment was made several months ago. He and his wife, an IDF officer, were looking for a place where they could take part in building a new community. At the settlement's inauguration ceremony, Dvir and his father, Rabbi Eitan Snerb, took the stage. Rabbi Snerb recounted that during the shiva for his daughter, he asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to establish a new settlement in the area as a response to the attack. Neot Harim was established this week between Neve Tzuf and Nahaliel, with 14 pioneering families moving in. Dvir is quoted: "On a personal level, we have a blood connection to this place. Not far from here, seven years ago, I lost my sister... To return here not from a place of pain, but to establish a settlement, a family, and a home, is something hard to explain in words."
