Today, three years after October 7, 2023, we pause to remember and to grieve.
Our hearts are with our extended Tawonga family, the entire Jewish community, and all who were impacted by the atrocities that day and their ripple effect. We are holding close our Israeli families whose lives were upended that day and beyond and who still carry the loss of loved ones.
Every person is created B'tzelem Elohim, and as unrest in the region continues, we mourn all innocent lives lost. We pray for peace and safety for all peoples impacted by violence and war.
In hard times, we turn to one another to mourn, reflect, and hold on to hope. You can find in-person gatherings around the Bay Area at jweekly.com/2026/10/02/memorial-events-in-the-bay-area-for-the-anniversary-of-oct-7/.
May the memory of those we lost be a blessing.
