As we continue to mourn for Hersh, Carmel, Ori, Almog, Eden, and Alex, all of blessed memory, we were deeply moved by last week's gathering of our community. Thank you to the thousands who joined us in person and online to share in our collective grief and offer solace to the families of the hostages. We are grateful to our speakers, including Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, LeElle Slifer, cousin of Carmel Gat, z”l, and Leat Corinne Unger, cousin of Omer Shem Tov, who is still in captivity. Watch the recording.
