The Institute of Archaeology is sad to announce the death of Vivian Silver, who was murdered at her house at Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7th. 

Vivian, a peace activist, the founder of Women Wage Peace and Ajeec Nisped, is the mother of Chen Zeigen, a member of our community and a doctoral student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Connecticut.

We send our deepest condolences to Chen and the entire family.
