As the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack in Israel approaches, the Jewish Federation Los Angeles (JFEDLA) will honor the victims by gathering the community to advocate for those who are still being held hostage and to remember those who have passed. Supporters will gather for different tributes over a 24-hour period throughout Los Angeles—the city with the second largest Jewish population outside of Israel. The Museum of Tolerance will host the first gathering in the evening on Oct. 6, and JFEDLA will host the closing event at the Saban Theatre, alongside the Israeli-American Council and StandWithUs.
“These events have been organized with our partners to show that despite the tragedy of Oct. 7, we remain and will forever be a resilient, hopeful, and united people,” said JFEDLA President and CEO Rabbi Noah Farkas in a statement.
