The service took place between the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, which is traditionally a time of atonement and introspection.
The event featured a recitation of Psalms, prayers for the return of the hostages, and stories of resilience from guest speaker Menachem Kalmenson, who was the recipient of Israel’s highest civic honor this year for saving over 100 civilians from harm on Oct. 7, 2023.
