The Adi Kaploun-Vital Memorial Fund

This page was created for the memory of Adi Kaploun-Vital.

Thank you for your wonderful support of this special family and Adi’s memory. May we only know of “besorot tovot” and better times.

Adi Kaploun-Vital was brutally murdered by Hamas in her home in the early hours of the terrorist attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023.

Adi was an incredible, humble, giving, loving, precious, and accomplished soul who died a hero – protecting her children and her father until her last breath. She leaves behind her dear husband, Anani, and her two young sons, Negev (age 4) and Eshel (6 months). Every dollar/shekel raised will go directly to Adi's family who have immediately relocated to Jerusalem and need significant funds to start rebuilding their life moving forward.

Adi was a Canadian and an Israeli citizen who lived with her family in the peaceful Kibbutz Hulit in southern Israel. In the early morning hours of October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists entered the kibbutz and began going from house to house, slaughtering innocent civilians, some of them entire families. Adi was hiding in her shelter with her 2 children while Adi's father was hiding in a shelter in the house across the way.

Adi warned her father not to open the shelter door under any circumstance, even if the people on the other side claimed to be IDF soldiers. The Hamas terrorists tried to lure her father out three times in this manner and by listening to Adi, she saved his life. Adi was murdered in her safe room while protecting her two sons. It is a miracle that they survived. Eshel and Negev were finally reunited with their father when he thought he had lost them too.

Our hearts go out to Adi's loved ones during this incredibly painful time. May her memory always be a blessing for them and may her dear family and friends know of no more sorrow.
