Mor Revivo mourns stylist killed at Nova
Three years after the October 7 massacre, Israeli singer Mor Revivo posted a moving tribute to Amit Buskila hy"d, her close friend and stylist who was murdered fleeing the Nova festival and whose body was taken to Gaza
Revivo posted photographs of the two women together on her Instagram account, writing: "My Amit, beloved of my heart. I miss you at shows, in studios, on trips, in silences, in bed before I go to sleep. Everywhere, all the time, you walk with me."
She recalled Buskila's warmth and their close bond: "Your joy of life, your inner and outer beauty, your goodness, the huge hug you would wrap around all of me together with my heart. I love you."
"On the biggest stages we dreamed of together"
Amit was Revivo's dresser and stylist, but the professional relationship between them became a close friendship over the years. The singer has said in the past that Amit was "like a big sister" to her, and that their connection went far beyond work.
In the current post, Revivo linked her career today to the friend who is no longer here: "I believe you see me, I believe you are proud of me, I believe you feel me every time I call out to you, when I climb onto the biggest stages I perform on, that we dreamed of together. Dress me."
She closed with longing: "The longing for you is suffocating. I am waiting to see you. I love you, my Amit, with all my heart and all my soul."
Buskila was at the Nova festival on October 7. She was murdered as she tried to escape the festival area, and her body was taken into Gaza. In May 2024, the IDF announced that her body had been recovered and returned to Israel. After her death, Revivo continued to memorialize her friend, and dedicated the song "Your Children There (My Amit)" to her.
