On the morning of October 7, 2023, the world changed forever. What began as a peaceful holiday morning in Israel was shattered by sirens, gunfire, and a devastating wave of terror. Families were forced to flee for safety, communities were attacked, and in a matter of hours, more than 1,200 people were murdered.

Parents lost children, spouses lost one another, and countless families were left to grieve lives cut short and futures forever altered. Others were taken hostage into Gaza, leaving their loved ones trapped in a torment of uncertainty, counting the days, clinging to hope, and living with the unbearable question of what each passing day might bring.

Three years later, we gather because these lives must never become statistics. We remember those tragically lost, the families and survivors whose lives were shattered, those who endured captivity, and the loved ones who carried the weight of absence, uncertainty, and grief.

In remembrance of those we lost, and in steadfast solidarity with those who continue to grieve, Remembering October 7 is a solemn memorial gathering sponsored by Chosen People Ministries and the Coalition Against Antisemitism. We will hear testimony from an Israeli, share in music and prayer, reflect on Israel’s right to exist and flourish, and look toward a brighter future grounded in hope. Adults of all ages are welcome.

At a time when antisemitism is once again rising, we come together to remember those we lost, stand with those who grieve, and reaffirm our commitment to hope. May their stories continue to be told, their memories honored, and their lives never forgotten. May we leave this evening strengthened in our resolve to stand together against hatred and to work toward a future marked by peace, security, and hope for Israel, the Jewish people, and the world.
