Join CJP, JCRC of Greater Boston, the IAC, and the Consulate General of Israel to New England to commemorate the one-year anniversary.
This is a free event but tickets are required. IDs will be checked.
Amid ongoing heartache and devastation, CJP — alongside the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston, the Israeli-American Council (IAC), and synagogues and partners across Greater Boston — invites you and our entire community to commemorate the first anniversary of October 7 together.
The traumas of this past year have impacted each one of us differently and we don’t know what will unfold between now, October 7, and even beyond. But this evening will give us the opportunity to be with one another, and to grieve as a community. The event will feature stories from those most directly affected on or by October 7, music to heal our souls, inspiring speakers to remind us of the resilient spirit of Israel and Israelis, and opportunities to mourn, honor survivors and heroes, and fill one another with strength and hope for our collective future.
This event is open to all ages, but some material may be difficult for young children and all content will be geared toward adults. For tickets and further information, please visit:
