Hofit was given the name Hofit by her brother Gal who claimed, “If I wave, it also belongs to the subject of the sea and it is called Hofit.” Hofit was a smiling and laughing girl. At the age of two, she visited the Milka kindergarten and from there moved to the Ruti and Ruti Municipal Garden – the spring garden. A day before the end of her kindergarten year, she complained of severe stomach pains, and after twenty-four hours of uncommon suffering for her age, she was operated on, and it turned out that the appendix had exploded in her body. During the period she was in the hospital she did not complain, and even during the difficult moments she could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hofit went to first grade at Yesod HaMa’ala Elementary School. She quickly acquired her reading skills and from this moment she discovered the whole world of the book kingdom. Hofit devoted herself entirely to the joy of reading: she would read in the morning, brushing her teeth; during the drive; In the homes of its members; During classes and throughout the years.

This is trust, happiness and kindness. / This is support for friends and an internal exchange of hatred in love / What matters in life is to avoid jealousy / overcome ignorance / and build self-confidence. “The importance of life is the choice and the smile …” In the condolence letter to the bereaved family, the unit’s commander, Lieutenant- Maj. Gen. Dudan Dahan: “After a short period of overlap, Hofit has integrated into the war room and performed her exemplary work, combining seriousness with work with energy and joy of life, a high personal level and the creation of many friendships.

He does not always straighten everything, sometimes he curves again to the point where time stops, to the point where everything dwarfs and becomes small … long ago I lost the count and tell you the truth? Walking with me if as part of the keys to the house and the car, if in the picture in the wallet and especially the heart key, where will keep your place forever …. And the most in the world will never extinguish length, smile … “. Aunt Liza wrote: “You left traces behind you, / written words and floating letters / shoes in the hallway, / small messy things in a drawer, / a faded reflection in a mirror / phone that can not remember your voice / faded images that keep your smile / Your hand touched / I know that angels are guarding you / And there is no pain there, where everyone goes / And also knows that you will extend my hand / When my day comes to walk in your path. : “Hofit … Past Present Present / And You Are not Forever / Summer Winter Autumn Spring / And There Is No One Who Will Return You / And Head Over and Over Again / Your Picture Hofit sits in your pocket A / A longing for all who you are, everything that was / your voice that reverberates but not heard / Your hug is felt but without your touch / smile that is rising but not seen / Your gaze from your blue eye but not seen / And you have been taken away / and the times that we smile to ourselves and think that if you were here at that moment you would wash us with reprimands / make faces turn around and go like you only know how to do (but we already know, we just need to wait a bit) Laughs / and the situations we ask ourselves What would you say / If we were just standing / What a crushing sentence Hey Pulls out / and encourages us / it is not mandatoryLiving is a right to be alive, or you have to know how to use the moment / You would say / and from all heart we embrace / to smile from ear to ear / Conversations, quarrels, reconciliations, memories accumulated / trips, experiences, pleasures, moments never forgotten You have been part of our lives in your life / and part of our lives in your death … / Past , Present, future / you are always in our hearts / Zochrot and love you. “Article by Hofit’s grandmother, Shalva Scoop:” Along the sea, between the waves of life and the road, the light of day is extinguished – and your ship did not reach the safe shore . I always dreamed, I hoped, and with every blessing I wrote, I wished that you would moor a safe haven. But … I did not wish for such a beach. “So where are you, my princess, with your long hair, my precious beach, I have not always understood your heart’s secrets, but always have always loved and loved.” Irit wrote: “… when we examine, examine and think, You understand that you wanted to be able to do everything in life, taste everything, feel contact, give yourself everything, and carry the motto of life, and I quote from your words: ‘Enjoy, live, be perfect with yourself … and most of all, Something else.’ “Her father wrote:” A year of longing and agony has passed, the time is unbearable, and your image twirls before my eyes twenty-four hours a day. … God took you in a mighty boom. … I tried to be the best father in the world and I know you appreciated it. You always knew how to catch and soften me with the smallest things and knew all my sensitive points. … Life without you is not what it used to be. And I know they will not be back. I miss you and love you very much, “wrote his older brother, Gal.” I look at you now, a non-fatal memory, I have finally discovered what it is, and with hot, melancholy water flowing down the sides of the face. Maybe you’re even looking and your eyes are good, moist, and forgiving. … and suddenly I wake up for a few moments, I look and look straight-a pair of eyes piercing the horizon … I look at the cracked mirror, the timeless tunnel of time of my life and you are not … The stars are long asleep, the wind has run away from here, Only me and you are left, only me and you … “wrote the younger brother Almog:” I’m sitting in my room thinking. Why you, a sister who could have been a wonderful mother in the future, is gone. … I want you to come back but you can not. … I keep dreaming about you and dreaming that it will be better in the world, and safety precedes everything. Hofit, you were a nanny, you were with me during the difficult moments, now I say where are you? Disappears for a reason that should not have happened. If only someone had spoken it would not have happened, and you would have been here with me and me. Hello my lovely sister. “
