It's been two years since October 7, 2023 and we still feel the shockwaves. It was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. We remember the innocent lives lost, the families forever changed and the courage of survivors. We hold close the names and faces of those still being held hostage - their pain is not forgotten. We carry this grief together and we remain committed to remembrance, truth and resilience.

🕯️ May their memory be a blessing.

Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, begins at sundown tonight. It is a time for reflection, atonement, and renewal.

Wishing our community an easy fast and a year filled with peace and meaning.
