October 7, 2024 marks one year since Hamas launched its attacks on Israel,
murdering more than 1,200 people, kidnapping more than 250 others, and drastically changing our world. 

What hasn’t changed is the undeniable strength and resilience of our Jewish community. 

This October 7, join the Jewish Federation of Cleveland for a community-wide gathering to remember all those who were lost or stolen a year ago, mourn all those killed in Israel and in Gaza because of Hamas since that day, and pray for the day when neighbors can live side by side in peace.


Yizkor Walk Hope and Resilience

As we commemorate one year since the horror of October 7th, we invite you to take part in our Hope and Resilience exhibit, located in Gross Atrium. There you’ll find clay kalaniyot modeled after the Israeli red poppies that blanket its southern border. Symbolizing hope and resilience, life and brazen beauty amidst devastating loss, the kalaniyot honor the memories of our slain brothers and sisters at the Nova Music Festival, in the kibbutzim, and throughout the war since. This was a fundraising labor of love, spearheaded by Zehava Galun and Marjorie Falk, with proceeds supporting Israel.

We also invite you to write letters to the families of hostages in Israel, which will be lovingly tied to the tree in the Atrium before being mailed overseas. Drop off your letters by October 1. This is an homage to the Tree of Wishes, located in Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square.   May we see the safe return of all our hostages, now. May we know peace speedily and soon. Am Yisrael Chai. 


Purchase Kalaniot 
(poppy-like flowers)

Our Kalaniot Hands-on workshop was a huge success and we created 100+ Kalaniot in memory of the victims of the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel. All proceeds are going directly to Israel!!!

If you would still like to donate $ and purchase kalaniot, we will be scheduling another time
to make them for you and will display them in our Atrium garden.

Cost:
$10 per flower

Dog Tags for Hostages

Wear your heart around your neck. These dog tags – the same ones distributed throughout Israel by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum – remind us (and others!) to keep the remaining hostages still being held in Gaza constantly in our thoughts until all return home to their families. These meaningful symbols of support are expressions of solidarity that we can keep, literally close to our hearts. 100% of net proceeds go to UJA’s Israel Emergency Fund. #BringThemHomeNow

NOTE: Finish and size of actual product may vary slightly from photo, depending on manufacturer; all tags are produced through the official Hostages and Missing Families Forum.


Keep Shabbat for an IDF Soldier

Soldiers in the IDF can't always keep Shabbat the way they do when they are home. Therefore, they are asking us to keep Shabbat while they are on the front lines. You will be able to pick a date and also the name of the soldier you are observing Shabbat for.


Healing Hearts

Reach out to Israelis suffering from the threat of missile attack, border infiltrations,
and the trauma of war itself – parents and children, the first responders caring for them, and the soldiers defending them all could use your encouragement!



Voices for Hostages

Hundreds of kidnapped civilians are being held hostage by Hamas in unfathomable circumstances. Global women leaders raise their voices urging humanitarian aid and the safe and swift return of all hostages to their loved ones. Add your voice. #VoicesForHostages
