Marking October 7th
Remembrance, Reconciliation, Resilience
October 7, 2023 was a day of profound loss, as Hamas launched a brutal attack on Israel—taking lives, tearing families apart, and shaking communities worldwide. Two years later, our sorrow remains—but so does our unbreakable spirit.
This year’s commemoration invited us to honor, support one another, and uplift our spirits. We first gathered as a group to remember, next we explored personal approaches of reconciliation through music, poetry, storytelling, text study, and meditation.
Finally, we gathered as one in the Community Hall—sharing our experiences, finding strength in one another, and affirming the enduring resilience of the Jewish people. It was an afternoon of hope, unity, and reflection.
Co-Chairs: Sue & Allan Carneol, Diane & Eric Zall
