On October 7, 2023, we woke up to the sound of alarms and immediately felt that this time was different. It didn’t take long for the sad reality to hit us; as messages and pictures started pouring in, we understood the national trauma we were about to face. Chaos took over our country, and we all felt a surge of fear and anxiety, alongside a strong sense of reaching out to help and support one another. It’s been a year since that day, and as a nation and community, we’ve gone through so much. Together, we’ve faced challenges that no nation should have to go through, but we stand together with a resilient spirit that has only grown stronger. We’ve filled our hearts with love and hope, finding strength in one another and in everything we do. Our hearts and souls are with the families who have lost their loved ones, the hostages who are still in captivity, the soldiers on the front lines, and the citizens from the north and the south who are still waiting to return to their homes. In our industry, where innovation is at our core, we are driven to create new dreams and shape the future. Our journey as Jewish people is about creating a new reality—a safe place where we can continue building dreams and a future where we thrive. It is a journey of survival, heroism, hope, and an unwavering commitment to making our world a better place for all. Today, we stand together, unified in our support for those who are grieving, fighting, and waiting. October 7 will forever mark a national traumatic turning point that strengthened our unity and resolve. Am Yisrael Chai
