Dear Friends,

It’s painful to realize we’re approaching one agonizing year since the
atrocity of October 7.

For a movement like ours, that fateful day – and the compounding horrors
that have followed – weighs especially heavily.

Some have friends and family who were attacked, murdered or taken hostage
on October 7. Others have colleagues and loved ones living in Gaza. We all
are connected to people who have experienced such tremendous loss and fear
these past 11 months. And all of us have been heartbroken by stories of
wrenching grief, pain and devastation.

Through this profoundly challenging year, a key pillar that has kept me
strong and steady is the community that J Street and our partners have
built and nurtured. We’ve shared in grief; we’ve processed pain; and we’ve
fought for a better future and pathway out of this darkness.

As we approach the anniversary of October 7, I invite you to join J Street
and our partners in the Progressive Israel Network for a moving reflection
and memorial.

Network on October 8

Together with our guest speakers, we’ll honor the innocent lives taken by
Hamas’ heinous terror attack, lift up the stories of the hostages and
their loved ones, and reflect on the impact that October 7 has had on
Israeli society, Palestinian citizens of Israel, and the Jewish community
around the world.

And we’ll do this all in community with the Progressive Israel Network, a
coalition of 12 of our closest partner organizations equally dedicated to
democracy and equality in Israel.

On this painful anniversary, let us remember that our voices are vital in
building a more peaceful and just world in Israel and beyond. [ [link removed] ]Register
