‘Cafe Otef’ – Re’im
“The vision behind ‘Cafe Otef’ was to establish a coffee shop in each of the communities most affected by the October 7th attack. These cafés are run by displaced residents, providing them with employment opportunities while they are away from their homes. More importantly, they serve as gathering places for evacuees—a space for connection, support, and healing.
For me, Cafe Otef-Re’im represents more than just a coffee shop; it is a symbol of resilience and the rebirth of Kibbutz Re’im.”
