Our Team

On October 7th, Adi lost her husband Hagai z"l, a member of the emergency response team who went out to fight and fell defending the kibbutz. Adi and her five children survived the attack, and that morning she also saved the lives of two children from their neighborhood whose family perished in the tragedy.

Now Adi brings her deep commitment to rebuilding the Be'eri community to her role as CEO of the organization.

He established the avocado and mango agriculture infrastructure at Be’eri, the largest in the area and one of the biggest in Israel.

For the past six years, he has volunteered as a guide for hiking, outdoor activities, and nature excursions for young children, encouraging their love for the Land of Israel.

Yarden is driven by curiosity, meaning, and community support, which led him to join the Be'eri fundraising and rebuilding team, following the horrors of October 7th.

On October 7th, Yarden was not at the Kibbutz but was able to help from a far by directing security forces to specific homes where rescue was needed. He also served as the point of contact between the IDF and members of Be’eri. Yarden’s family, including his younger brother with special needs, were all in Be’eri on October 7th. His older brother, Shachar, who fought with the emergency squad until his last bullet, lost his life to save hundreds of others. Shachar left behind his wife and two children. 

"My brother was an incredibly admired and valued person in his life and a hero in his death. 

To honor and be worthy of his immense sacrifice, I aim to fully dedicate myself to supporting 

the community and the efforts to rebuild our home in Be'eri. I will give all my energy and 

time until we return to Be'eri, for which my brother Shachar fought and died."

In recent years, he has built a career in software sales while working in the Israeli startup and tech ecosystem based in Tel Aviv. However, following the events of October 7th, he decided to pause his career to help rebuild Be’eri, the home he intends to settle in permanently.

Before his venture into tech, Nieve worked at Be’eri Print, the prominent printing company owned by the kibbutz, where he gained foundational skills in business development, client management, and sales, as well as an understanding of the value-based principles that Be’eri upholds.

October 7th marked a life-changing event for Nieve. Although he was not in Be’eri during the attack, he was called to duty with his reserve unit to assist another kibbutz that was under heavy fire. This situation was particularly challenging for him, as he was simultaneously concerned about his family in Be’eri, who were under active threat. Tragically, his aunt did not survive and was murdered in her home. Nieve never anticipated having to serve in another conflict on his home front, a decade after completing his compulsory service. He views his work in the rebuilding and rehabilitation of the kibbutz as both a privilege and a duty until Kibbutz Be'eri can thrive once again.

Nieve holds a B.A. in Business Administration, specializing in International Business, from the College of Management Academic Studies.

Ido has previously worked for large organizations such as ORT Israel and Reuth Hospital. In addition to his expertise in fundraising and building lasting relationships between donors and beneficiaries, Ido has also played an active role in developing innovative social programs with inspiring leaders.

Committed to social impact, Ido has contributed to non-profit organizations, actively promoting and developing educational programs across diverse segments of Israeli society. With a profound understanding of the fundraising landscape and strong connections with key stakeholders, Ido is well-positioned to manage the resource development challenges at Kibbutz Be'eri.

Ido feels privileged and honored to have the opportunity to contribute to Kibbutz Be’eri’s recovery process and the fight to have all hostages released. 

Ido holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA), major in Strategy & International Management, and a B.A in Human Resources Management (magna cum laude) from the Ben Gurion University of the Negev.

Yigal held various leadership positions at Beeri Print, including COO and CEO of the Beeri Digital Group, where he drove process improvements, product development, and marketing campaigns.

He currently serves as the CEO of Messer B.A.B. Ltd, where he leads strategic planning, policy development, and customer relations.

Yigal holds an Executive MBA from Tel Aviv University, a BA in Behavioral Sciences from Ben Gurion University, and a Directors & Senior Management Program certificate from Tel Aviv University. He has also served as a tank commander in the Israeli Defense Forces.

On Saturday, October 7th, the neighborhood where his house is located was severely affected, and his home was engulfed in flames. Fortunately, Yigal, his spouse, and his daughter were situated outside the kibbutz; thus, they were among the few neighborhood residents who were spared. Due to his strong track record of success and expertise in management and marketing, Yigal was chosen by his peers to lead the resource development and fundraising efforts for the kibbutz's rehabilitation.
