October 7th Commemoration

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, and unleashing alarming rates of antisemitism, and changing our lives forever.

What hasn’t changed is our Jewish community’s undeniable strength and resilience.

This October 7, join JEWISHcolorado and many partner organizations for an afternoon of age-appropriate family activities at the Staenberg-Loup JCC, and an evening, community-wide gathering to mark this moment at Temple Emanuel, to be inspired, and look toward a brighter future together. Registration is required.
