Chabad Lubavitch of North Orlando and Decision Tactical invite the entire community to an exclusive screening of “Supernova - The Music Festival Massacre” on Thursday, April 11, 2024. 

The massacre at the Supernova Festival in the Negev desert marks a historic turning point for Israel: On Oct. 7, 2023, at 6:30 a.m., Hamas terrorists broke through the borders from Gaza into Israel, launching a planned and coordinated attack. Among their targets – a yearly techno music festival with over 3500 young revelers in attendance. Soon the festival grounds turned into a scene of horror: Over 370 people were brutally murdered, hundreds wounded and 40 kidnapped and taken as hostages. The festival attack at Re’im was one of Hamas’ first targets and the start of the war that continues to this day.

In this emotional film, survivors, first responders and parents recount their stories and the horrors they witnessed. Filmed just a few days after the events, their trauma is evident, their grief over friends lost is palpable, their continued fear is apparent.

The attacks were documented in real time, and for the first time by both perpetrators and victims. Using materials meticulously collected from dozens of sources, including Hamas’ own cameramen and GoPros, survivors’ mobile phones, CCTV footage, dash cams and from first responders on site, providing unprecedented insight into the massacre.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and program begins at 7 p.m. at Decision Tactical 430 Towne Center Cir in Sanford. Tickets are $25 and there’s an early bird discount of $5 off if you reserve by April 1. You can reserve your seat by visiting  www.JewishNorthOrlando.com/Supernova or by calling Chabad’s office 407-636-5994.
