Honoring our Fallen Heroes
Doors open at 6:45 PM
Location Provided Upon Registration
Join us as we pay tribute to the brave souls who have given their lives on behalf of the State of Israel and commemorate their resilience and spirit.
Visit by heroes and witnesses to the current war in Israel
In collaboration with the Jewish Agency for Israel, we are honored to welcome heroes and witnesses, offering firsthand accounts of October 7th and their continued engagement in the current war in Israel.
Additionally, we will be joined by a culinary delegation from our partner city, Kfar Saba, as they light memorial candles, and then look forward to celebrating with them just a few days later at Yom Ha’Atzmaut.
We are honored to be bringing Tal Benatar, a native of Columbus, back to our community to lead us in song during this commemoration.
Participate in a heartfelt exchange of stories from community leadership and a video from our partnership city of Kfar Saba. Engage in memorial songs, prayers, videos, candle lighting, and more as we come together to honor the memories of our fallen heroes.
Join us in commemorating their legacy and reaffirming our commitment to peace and unity.
Together, let us stand strong in remembrance.
