In the corner of a family living room in a home south of Tel Aviv sits a brightly painted surfboard.

It is adorned with frangipanis, strawberries, turtles and a bottle of sparkling wine, along with the image of a smiling surfer.

This is how the Zender family want to remember their sun-loving, surfing daughter.

“Noa’s character was to do at least one good thing a day, and we are trying to keep that going, and keep telling her story because we cannot forget October 7,” Noa’s mother Mali Zender told the ABC.
