Three years after the horrors
of October 7, 2023,
we remember.

We remember the innocent lives stolen, the hostages torn from their homes, and the communities devastated by unimaginable loss.

As we light this Yahrzeit candle, we honor those we lost and hold their memories close. And we continue to stand with the people of Israel—not only in remembrance, but through action. Through our support of communities, families, and programs helping Israelis heal, rebuild, and find hope, we remain committed to Israel and to a stronger Jewish future.

May this light remind us that even in the darkest moments, we can stand together.
