This community commemoration is a space to gather\, mourn\, and remember the lives lost and the devastation of that day. We will create a sanctuary for our community to find comfort\, strength\, and connection in shared sorrow. The program will offer opportunities for personal reflection and processing\, culminating in a brief ceremony of remembrance.\nWhile the ongoing war will be acknowledged\, the focus of the program will be to reflect on the tragedy itself\, to grieve together\, and to honor the memory of those who were taken from us\, including the Hostages kidnapped that day.\nTogether\, we will hold each other\, honor the lives lost\, and affirm our connection to Israel. In our shared mourning\, we will also find resilience and strength as a community.\nPresented in partnership by the Boulder JCC\, Israeli-American Council (IAC)\, and Haver: Boulder's Council of Rabbis &\; Cantors\nProgram timeline\n4 - 5 pm: Doors open time for connection and reflection\n5 pm: Participants can choose from several meaningful activities\n\nSinging together as a community\nViewing of several short films documenting the events of October 7\nArt therapy sessions facilitated by the Jewish Studio Project providing a creative outlet for processing grief\n\n6 - 6:30 pm: Community Remembrance Ceremony\nSecurity Information\n\nSafety and Security are our top priority.
