Today, we take the time to grieve and remember all who were lost during the October 7 attack on Israel three years ago. The Israel Philharmonic - הפילהרמונית הישראלית has always provided solace to those in need of it, and we are incredibly proud of their work in the months following the attack to help heal a grieving nation.
