Today, on Israel’s National Day of Remembrance for the October 7 Disaster, observed on 24 Tishrei, we remember those murdered, those taken hostage, and all whose lives were forever changed. We hold their families, loved ones, and all who continue to bear the pain of that day in our hearts. As we approach the third anniversary of the attacks, we mark this memorial day for the first time with no hostages remaining in Gaza.
The wounds of October 7 remain present in Israel, throughout Jewish communities around the world, and in the lives of countless individuals and families. Even amid these challenges, our Masorti/Conservative communities and Jews around the world continue the sacred work of caring for one another and sustaining Jewish life through prayer, learning, and acts of compassion.
Masorti Olami stands alongside these communities, supporting local leaders and strengthening relationships across countries. Unity requires effort: it grows through the support we extend to one another and our shared commitment to a Jewish future.
As we remember those we lost, we renew our dedication to that work. May their memory inspire us to strengthen our communities, deepen our connections, and build a future rooted in resilience, responsibility, and hope.
May their memories be a blessing.
