One year ago today, our world changed forever. On October 7th, 2023, we witnessed unimaginable horror and loss. As we mark this solemn anniversary, we remember the lives tragically cut short and the families torn apart. For 365 agonizing days, hostages have been held in captivity, separated from their loved ones. Each passing moment is a reminder of our collective anguish. Today, we stand united in our call: Bring Them Home. We cannot rest until every hostage is returned safely to their families. Let us honor the memory of those we lost by strengthening our resolve for justice, peace, and the safe return of all hostages. #BringThemHome #NeverForget

As we usher in 5785, we reflect on the challenges our Jewish community has faced and look forward with hope. May 5785 bring healing, peace, and renewed strength to our community and beyond. Wishing everyone a year filled with resilience, unity, and sweeter days ahead. Shanah Tovah! #JewishNewYear #ShanahTovah
