Three years later, much of the world regards October 7 as part of history. But its impact continues to be felt—in Israel and by Jews around the world.
What has endured?
What has changed for Jews?
These questions are at the center of “Bearing Witness Three Years On,” an exhibit exploring life after October 7 through the perspectives of survivors of the Nova festival, hostages, residents of the kibbutzim who lived through the attacks—as well as American Jews who watched from afar. Curated by Greater Hartford’s own community shlicha, Shira, this moving exhibit includes a poster gallery and video presentation built from personal interviews and photography recorded across Israel, including in Kibbutz Sufa and the Afula-Gilboa region.
We're Sorry
Registration for the Candle Lighting Ceremony is now closed. While we cannot guarantee entry to any non-registered guests/attendees, we will do so as space allows and with security’s approval. All attendees will be required to show a current and valid photo ID for entry to the JCC.
