About Yotam Haim

Yotam was born at Kibbutz Gvulot on January 2, 1995, to parents Iris and Raviv. When he came into the world, he had an older brother, Tuval, and seven years later, his sister Noya joined the family.

Yotam was born with an impressive red mane and had a very easygoing personality—quiet, smiling, and patient. 

Yotam’s Captivity Story

On October 7th, 2023, Yotam was scheduled to perform with his band, Persephore, at the Sychworld Metal Festival in Tel Aviv. He had prepared all of his equipment, including his drum kit and cymbals, which were packed in his red Chevrolet Spark.

The evening before, he was at a rehearsal in Tel Aviv and debated whether to stay the night at his bandmate Lidor’s place. In the end, he chose to return to his apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza.
