This Shabbat we will remember Hersh, Eden, Carmel, Almog, Alex and Ori.

As an expression of our grief for the brutal murder of our hostages in the past week, the SAZF and SAJBD are embarking on an initiative for our shuls and our community members so that we go into this shabbat remembering these hostages.

This Shabbat we will remember Hersh, Eden, Carmel, Almog, Alex and Ori.

We have asked the shuls to display photographs of the 6 hostages which we sent as a PDF and to light 6 yarzeit candles in the entrance.

We also ask community members to light 6 candles in your home to remember these precious lives that were brutally ended last week.

We pray for the safe return of the remaining hostages.

@everyone
