A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE: Greensboro Gathers for a Memorial and Call for Hope
On October 7th, 2024, guests gathered at Temple Emanuel to mark one year since the horrific attacks on Israel one year prior. The event, entitled One Year Later: A Memorial & Call for Hope, was held to commemorate the lives we lost; honor the heroes who inspired us; pray for the hostages who remain in our hearts; and express gratitude for our community’s overwhelming response in Israel’s hour of need.
The event was truly community-wide, as organizers strove to make it inclusive of the needs and experiences of the entire Jewish Community. It featured the voices of clergy members from each local congregation; teenagers; and local Israelis seeking a place of warmth and safety. Powerful remarks were made by keynote speaker Kathy Manning, Congresswoman and Co-Chair of the House Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism.
The Greensboro Jewish Federation is grateful to our community for standing together with us in unity and remembrance.
