October 7th Commemoration - Boulder

October 7, 2024, will mark one year since Hamas launched its attacks on Israel, murdering more than 1,200 people, kidnapping more than 250 others, unleashing alarming rates of antisemitism, and changing our lives forever.

This is going to be a challenging moment to mark in our community, in our homes, and in Israel. We will unite to support each other with reflection, song, poetry, and prayer. We acknowledge that we hold so many emotions at the same time around this day, including grief, anger, fear, mourning, remembrance, and hope.

Everyone is invited to come together for connection, support, quiet contemplation, reflection, and remembering those we have lost—this program partners with Haver: Rabbinic Council, IAC Israeli American Council, and the Boulder JCC.

Community members are invited to stay at the JCC to sing together after the ceremony. In Israel, it is a tradition to come together in song at times of joy and sadness. Music is a powerful tool, and each song reflects the moment. The songs will be available in Hebrew with transliteration and English translation. This will be a more informal part of the program until 9:30 pm.

Doors open at 6:15 for community connection and quiet contemplation. Program 7:00-8:15 pm

We will also be livestreaming this program for those who can not attend in person.
