What if remembrance could be more than just looking back—what if it was a powerful call to action? Reflecting on the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attacks in Israel, we explore the emotional and inspiring commemoration held in Toronto by the UJA of Greater Toronto. With the participation of over 20,000 people, the stories shared, such as a couple from Kibbutz Bieri who recounted their harrowing experiences, underscore themes of collective grief, resilience, and hope. Political figures like Doug Ford and Stephen Del Duca took the stage alongside the soulful harmonies of "Hatikvah," led by the Shinshinim, young Israeli emissaries, reminding us that mourning can also be a catalyst for empowering future generations.
Join our JTeach OnAir team as we unpack the profound lessons from this commemorative gathering. The event not only paid tribute to victims and survivors but also emphasized the power of unity and allyship in combating hate and anti-Semitism. By advocating for systemic changes like stronger hate crime legislation and increased Holocaust education, the organizers crafted a narrative that honors past tragedies while paving a path toward a hopeful future. We also explore the ripple effect of this event, demonstrating how media and solidarity can inspire change and challenge perspectives. As we close, we ponder how each of us can carry this torch of remembrance forward and actively contribute to a world where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.
