Every Life, a Universe: Memorial Gathering for Israeli, Lebanese, and Palestinian Life
On October 7, in the midst of the Days of Awe, Jews across the country will come together in community, in heartbreak, and in grief. We will mark one year since the Hamas-led attack in which over 1,100 Israelis were killed and hundreds more were taken hostage. We will mark one year of the Israeli government’s ongoing massacres and starvation in Gaza, which has killed over 42,000 – and likely tens of thousands more – Palestinians.
It didn’t have to be this way. It still doesn’t.
Our tears are abundant enough, and our hearts are big enough, to grieve for every life taken – every universe destroyed – whether Israeli or Palestinian. It is not either, or. We need one another: Jews cannot be safe if Palestinians are not free.
Let us come together and reground in our belief that our safety here and around the world is inextricably linked to freedom and a thriving future for all Palestinians and Israelis.
6-8 PM | 10/7 | Wear white, leave signs at home please.
