The October 7 massacre took place on the holiday of Simchat Torah in Israel, and is commemorated in Israel on the days that follow the holiday. As we mark the two year anniversary, we will gather for a traditional Yizkor memorial service for the final days of the fall holidays, marking the lives lost on October 7, while also acknowledging the painful present situation. Further, we will gather in memory of all those beloved family and friends who have passed away. (Note that October 7 this year falls on one of the main chag/holy days of Sukkot.)
