About me...

Hi, I’m Rita Yedid, a wife, mother, survivor, speaker, and advocate for resilience and hope. On October 7th, my life changed forever when I survived the attack at the Nova Festival alongside my husband and sister. In the face of unimaginable fear and chaos, I discovered a strength I never knew I had—a strength that now fuels my mission to inspire others.Sharing my story hasn’t just helped others—it has helped me heal and grow. Through speaking, I’ve found my voice, transformed my pain into purpose, and connected with people on a deeper level. My journey has shown me that even in our darkest moments, there is light, and even after survival, there is room to thrive.

Rita really managed to connect us to the experience and the range of emotions she went through, feelings that exposed her inner self in a true and authentic way, despite all the hardships she faced. And yet, she manages to hold on to hope, courage, and a great spirit reminding us that there are still many good days worth experiencing every day. Thank you so much for the privilege of hearing your story!
