Peace & Remembrance Vigil
How do we hold hope in the midst of overwhelming devastation? How do we imagine peace when it feels like violence and anger are everywhere? How do we hold light when we sit with despair?
Jewish custom teaches us to sit with grief in community. We learn the kindness of being present to mourn together. We hold light through shared experience of silence, song, and prayer. We create peace by holding different perspectives with compassion and respect. On this day of remembrance, we will create sacred space to hold the complexity of grief, together, on the anniversary of October 7th.
You are invited to this Peace & Remembrance Vigil, where we will join in silence, song, and prayerful prose. Please bring an open heart and mind, lots of grace, and a deep breath. Like our diverse community, this event is intended to be meaningful for all as an evening of solace and comfort, and is not the opportunity for dialogue or disagreement. Through shared breath, we hope this time with community will bring us each a bit of hope, peace, and light.
