October 7 — An Evening of Remembrance and Reflection
Tafsik Organization, the Toronto Zionist Council, and the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation are honoured to come together to host the October 7th memorial in Toronto, dedicated to remembering the precious souls taken from us in Hamas's savage attack.
On this solemn anniversary, we gather as Am Yisrael, not only to mourn, but to remember, to bear witness, and to honour the lives and legacies of those whose lives were so brutally cut short.
We will say their names, hold their memories close, and light a flame that darkness cannot extinguish. זכרם לברכה — may their memories be a blessing.
For in every generation, our people have endured, remembered, rebuilt, and risen again.
On this day, we come together to affirm that those who were taken from us will never be forgotten. Their stories will continue to be told, their names will continue to be spoken, and their memories will forever remain woven into the story of our people.
As part of this meaningful evening, we will present "Where Do We Belong", an incredibly powerful new film by acclaimed filmmaker and documentarian Igal Hecht. The film explores the events of October 7th and the profound aftermath that followed, offering a deeply moving reflection on what happened, what was lost, and what it means to carry these memories forward.
We will also be joined by special guests who will share words of remembrance and dedication in honour of those whose lives were so tragically stolen from them.
We gather because we must never be silent. We gather because we must never forget. And we gather because remembering is an act of love, an act of defiance, and a sacred responsibility.
May the memory of every soul taken from us on October 7th forever be a blessing.
יהי זכרם ברוך.
