Judih Weinstein Haggai, the last Canadian citizen unaccounted for in the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas attack, has been confirmed dead by her family. Though this brings closure to a painful search for Canadian victims, the confirmation ends a frustrating period of uncertainty for her family and the Canadian authorities.
Judih Weinstein Haggai, a Canadian-Israeli, and her husband were severely wounded during a morning walk near the Gaza border. She was a dedicated teacher, advocate for peace, and mindfulness practitioner who left behind two daughters, two sons, and seven grandchildren. Her death marks the end of a diligent search for Canadian citizens affected by the Hamas attack which claimed more than 1,200 lives.
May her soul rest in peace.
