So sorry to read this. from October 1963 to January 1964 I worked on K’Far Hanassi as guest worker. I lived ( still do) in Australia and was hitchhiking through Europe when in the Youth Hostel in Athens a fellow I met there said he was going to Israel and why don’t I come along.
I accepted, as a 23 old Dutch Jew who survived the Holocaust I had it in the back of my mind to go to Israel anyway. We took a 10 pound ferry and arrived in Haifa 3 days later.
In the Haifa youth hostel we heard that K’Far Hanassi was looking for workers so we took a bus up there. We were welcomed with open arms, the kibbutzniks were the friendliest people I have ever met; to this day. Again I am so sorry to read about Moranne; may she rest in peace. Eddy
Moranne Amit, 25, was born and raised in Kibbutz Kfar Hanassi. She was the daughter of Ruthie, a native New Yorker who immigrated to Israel as a teenager, and Gadi, the son of founders of Kfar Hanassi.
Moranne was stabbed to death on February 8, 2002 while walking with her boyfriend in the Peace Forest below the Sherover Promenade in Jerusalem. Moranne was a second-year law student at Haifa University and worked at the Yedioth Aharanot internet site where she was appreciated for her intelligence and interesting observations. She is survived by her parents, two brothers and a sister.
