His brother-in-law Shai Ben-David told Ynet. "He was a man who always wore a kippah, a Zionist whose dream was to make aliyah and he never made it. Every time he used to tell me, 'God willing we'll come, we'll make aliyah soon.'"
Yoann Cohen
● Mr Cohen, 23, died a hero, grabbing Coulibaly's gun in a vain attempt to end the siege and save his fellow hostages.
An employee of the supermarket, he was killed trying to protect a three-year-old captive he thought was about to be shot.
He had been working in the store over the past year to help him pay for his wedding to girlfriend, Sharon Seb.
Writing on Facebook, Ms Seb simply posted: "Je suis Yohan."
Later, in an emotional tribute, she wrote: "I have no words to describe my sadness. I am destroyed for all of my life. All of our future plans, all we had promised, how am I going to do this without you?"
Mr Cohen was a pupil at ORT Villiers-le-Bel from 2009-2011, a sister school of the one just yards from the scene of the attack. In tribute, an additional 200 alumni joined the 665 students for a memorial service held at the school on Monday.
FranÇois-Michel Saada
● The retired pension fund manager went to the supermarket to buy challah for Shabbat, and unaware of the unfolding drama, actually asked Coulibaly, who was in the act of closing the doors, to let him in. Tragically, the extremist obliged.
The 64-year-old had been married for more than 30 years to a primary school teacher who specialised in teaching disabled children. The couple had two children.
A friend said: "His aim in life was his family's happiness."
His cousin, Eric Atale, attended the funeral in Israel with 13 other family members, said: "There is a time for tears, there is a time for questions and there is a time for a response.
"Now is the time for tears. But the time for a response will come. France must find the right way to respond to this so that it doesn't happen again."
Yoav Hattab
● The son of the chief rabbi of Tunis, Mr Hattab was a 22-year-old student completing his education in marketing and international trade in Paris. He often returned to Tunisia to visit his family.
He visited Israel for the first time over the new year on a Birthright trip and harboured dreams of one day making aliyah.
His father, Rabbi Batto Hattab, said: "I took care of many children each day of my life. God should have taken care of my son. We accept Hashem's difficult choice. My son came to Paris to complete his studies. He was planning to move to Israel at the end of the year. "
Friend Nathan Levi, 24, accompanied Mr Hattab on the Birthright tour. He said: "Yoav made a huge impression on me - he was an amazing person. He was so in love in Israel. He spent much of the trip with the Israeli flag draped over his back. His dream was to come to Israel and make aliyah together with his whole family from Tunis."
