Today marks three years since the horrific attacks of October 7, 2023.

With a broken and heavy heart, we remember the 1,200 lives that were cut short, and the families that were torn apart. We remember the 251 hostages who were cruelly kidnapped from their homes, and the horrific atrocities that they endured

We may ask, what can we do? How shall we mark this day in a significant and meaningful way? Of course we hold vigils and gatherings in their memory, which is vital. We will never forget

Another meaningful way to mark this day is by doing a mitzvah in their memory. This is like giving them a gift for their neshama, saying: I remember you and grieve for you, and I want to do something meaningful and eternal as a gift to you.

I recently watched a short clip of Bar Kuperstein, who was held hostage for more than two years. He went back to the Nova festival site, where he'd been working as a paramedic on the day of the attack. This time he came as a free man, wearing tefillin.

Bar said that tragically, those who were murdered are no longer with us. But we, their brothers and sisters of the Jewish nation, have a chance to do a mitzvah in their merit. He asked everyone to do this in their memory.

Any mitzvah counts.... Visiting a friend, reaching out to support someone...mezuza, kashrut...even in a small measure. Each one makes a difference to us and to the people around us, and brings a little more light into a very dark world.

So today, let us remember our brothers and sisters whom we lost, and let us honour their memory by doing an extra mitzvah, as proud Jews bringing light and goodness into the world.

If you'd like help with any mitzva - eg, encouraging a friend to light Shabbat candles, even just once - or anything else, please reach out

Before you do the mitzvah, you can say, I am doing this for the memory of the neshamot of all our brothers and sisters who were murdered on Oct 7th.

Today is a difficult day, and you don't have to carry it alone. If you'd like to talk, just reply to this message. We are here for you

With love and prayers for Am Yisrael,
Rabbi Zalman & Chanie
