Three years after Oct. 7, Israel remembers. Israel mourns. And Israel builds.
“People who have been through hell retain an extraordinary thirst for life.” @broukhim
That may be the most Israeli sentence imaginable.
The answer to destruction is creation. To darkness, light. To those who sought to end life, an extraordinary determination to build the future.

Last night at @CongregationKJ , we remembered the victims of October 7 and heard powerful testimony from survivors, first responders, and those who acted to save lives.
Thank you to Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz and Rabbi Emeritus Haskel Lookstein for bringing the community together in remembrance and prayer.

These are the 20 hostages who are coming back home alive 🎗️
Sukkot is the only holiday referred to as
זמן שמחתינו — the time of our joy.
This year, it looks like it may truly fulfill its name.

Yesterday we lost 10 precious souls in Israel💔
They woke up in the morning and by night they were gone—families torn apart, worlds broken.
And yet, the Jewish ppl don’t give up
When our enemies try to destroy us, we rise & live with even greater purpose
Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱

What an honor to have Rabbi Israel Meir Lau, former Chief Rabbi of Israel, pray at @CongregationKJ this morning on the powerful convergence of Erev Yom HaZikaron and Rosh Chodesh.
A moment of memory, renewal, and unity.

“we will flood the streets of Crown Heights” deliberately echoes Hamas’ “Al Aqsa Flood” from 10/7
This is not rhetoric.
This must be stopped before it’s too late.
CH is protected by the watchful 👁️ of the Rebbe — but it’s up to our law enforcement to act swiftly & decisively.

Thanks @rabbichaim & @CongregationKJ for keeping awareness of the hostages alive. Has been chilling surrounded by these faces practicing in sanctuary w/a bar mitzvah student. Today was different. Imagine our delight when we discovered 2 of these “faces” were just released!

It was great to welcome @EylonALevy to @CongregationKJ tonight in partnership with the @israeliamerican
Eylon is a warrior who defends Israel and the Jewish people daily. We are lucky to have him on our team.

A beautiful #Thanksgiving prayer authored by Rabbi Joseph Lookstein z"l of @CongregationKJ in 1940.
Take a moment to read it, perhaps even use it at your meals.
We look forward to the day when we can be thankful for the release of all the hostages and for permanent peace. ☮️

New moral stain for the UN ‼️
When President Raisi of Iran, the “Butcher of Tehran,” began his speech, I waved a picture of Mahsa Amini, the innocent Iranian woman who was brutally murdered by the regime one year ago for not wearing a hijab “properly.”
Meanwhile, outside the UN hundreds of Iranians were protesting, begging for help from the international community. I will never stop fighting for the truth and I will always expose the UN’s moral distortions.
Those who roll out the red carpet for murderers and antisemites must be held accountable for their actions!

What do we mean when we say we are looking for “closure” after a loss? Rabbi Steinmetz says that to best respect those who we’ve lost, and ourselves, we should rather embrace the notion of consolation. Interviewed by Exit Strategy host Stephanie Garry.
