On this third anniversary of the October 7, 2023 attack, we remember all those who were killed and pray for healing for the survivors and all whose lives were forever changed.

Last weekend, we were honored to host Guy Gilboa Dalal, one of the final hostages to be released by Hamas, and his brother Gal to share their deeply personal story of resilience, survival and healing through storytelling and music.
