Rotem Moriah
07/10/2004
Rotem Moriah, 27, of Tel Aviv.

Rotem Moriah had been vacationing near Nueiba in Sinai with two friends when their beach hut burned down, along with most of their belongings. Just an hour before the bombings, Rotem's friend Assaf Greenwald asked his parents, who were at an Eilat hotel, to meet them at the Taba border crossing. The returning vacationers were held up because their passports were partially burned. Rotem and Assaf decided to go the bathroom at nearby Taba Hilton and were killed in the blast.

Although Rotem had a high-tech job in computers, his great love was film-making, and he planned to give up his work and devote himself to the cinema once he had established himself financially. Already in high school in Tel Aviv, he prepared a film as his final project which won high praise in the press.

Rotem's friend, Roy Weller, described him as a walking encyclopedia about everything that interested him, from soccer to film. He would share everything he had, including money, with everyone.

Rotem Moriah was buried in the Kiryat Shaul Cemetery. He is survived by his parents and two sisters.
