Alon’s Journey
Alon, the son of Mirta and Dani and brother to Tom and Lian grew up in Budapest and later in Israel, embracing life with energy and enthusiasm.
An avid soccer player from childhood, he continued his love for the sport into adulthood, playing regularly for amateur teams and passionately supporting Chelsea F.C. Soccer was a cornerstone of Alon’s life, reflecting his determination, teamwork, and discipline.
​Excelling in soccer and sports requires more than just talent, it demands a well-nourished body and a balanced approach to health. Alon understood this deeply, combining his passion for soccer with a commitment to consuming foods that boosted his energy and supported his physical endurance. With his characteristic warmth and generosity, Alon’s home became a hub for friends to gather, sharing evenings of laughter, meaningful conversations, and meals he took pride in preparing.
​
Alon’s interest in food extended beyond his personal lifestyle and became a central part of his professional journey during his eight years at BBB, a popular chain of burger restaurants. Alon worked his way up from a high school employee to a managerial position at the Ra'anana branch. Alon’s expertise in the culinary world and his thoughtful approach to customer engagement resonate perfectly with anydish’s mission to help individuals around the globe discover foods tailored to their unique dietary needs and preferences.
Alon also shared with his many friends his love for nature, music, and community. Tragically, Alon and many of his friends lost their lives on October 7, 2023, in the brutal attack by the Hamas terrorist organization, at the outdoor music festival they attended together. ​​​​
Honoring Alon’s Legacy
​
To commemorate Alon’s life and his love for soccer, his family and friends organized a yearly memorial soccer tournament on what would have been his birthday after his passing. The event brought together his loved ones, teammates, and even former Israeli players from Chelsea—a powerful tribute to the enduring impact Alon had on those around him.
