October 7 will forever stand as a day of unbearable loss. On this day of mourning, we remember all whose grief and suffering endure. May the day come when we all know true and lasting peace.

Amazing turnout at S’mores in the Sukkah tonight! We did havdalah and then ate, crafted, and played until it was too dark to see. Huge thanks to our volunteers, lay security, Temple Shir Shalom, the weather, and all of you who came out to make it so much fun. ❤️🍋🌿
