As the sun sets on October 6, we will gather at the intersection of sorrow and joy. On the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks, we will begin with a time of remembrance—holding space for grief and reflection. Then, as the holiday of Sukkot begins, we will gently turn toward celebration, inspired by a powerful tradition in Israel where Memorial Day flows directly into Independence Day—reminding us that even in mourning, we can choose to affirm life, resilience, and hope. Children will be invited to join our education team for activities during this time.
