October 7, Marking One Year, Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ 2024

Together with nearly 3,000 people from our Greater MetroWest NJ community, this event was a solemn memorial service honoring those who lost their lives in the attacks and the ongoing conflict, as well as offering prayers for the hostages still being held.
