On October 7, we will mark one year since the horrific Hamas terror attacks in Israel and the subsequent devastating Israel-Hamas war.
This past year has been filled with pain, hopelessness, and despair. As Zionist and progressive supporters of Israel, we recognize that to move forward with hope, we must hold the pain, narratives, and humanity of both Israelis and Palestinians. We must not let our despair turn into vengeance, or let our pain harden our hearts. It is precisely because of the pain of this past year that we recognize the need to work together to build a better future. One that honours our shared humanity, that holds our shared pain, and sees no choice other than working toward peace.
Please join us online on October 6 at 10am PT/1pm ET as we come together, to remember those lost, displaced, and taken captive on October 7 in the horrific Hamas attacks in Israel, those lost and displaced in Gaza since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, and begin to build a future of shared hope, healing, and compassion.
We will be joined by interfaith leaders in Canada, Israelis, and Palestinians to acknowledge the pain and loss felt on all sides of the conflict and to honour our common desire for peace and a better path forward.
