This recipe is part of the “Place at the Table” initiative” from Asif — Culinary Institute of Israel.  The commemorative project documents the favourite dishes of those lost on October 7 with the help of their families.

In Kfar Aza, everyone knew the man with the mane of hair, the sturdy hands, and the soft and loving heart, with a flock of pigeons. David Kachko Katzir was a father, grandfather, and friend.

Everyone called him Kachko, but his wife Ayelet simply called him Dov or Mammy Dov.

Her Dov, she says, loved Jeeps and trips across the country, and would regularly organize field trips for them with five other families. He called them “Kachko trips,” and like an experienced guide, he would prepare and study the terrain in advance down to the last detail.
