Community Evenings, Ceremonies, and National Days

Community Evenings, Ceremonies, and National Days at the Israeli Hug Center October 7th Memorial, Yom HaZikaron (Remembrance Day), and Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day)

At the Israeli Hug Center, we carry memory as a part of our community’s beating heart. Far from home, from our families, and from the places where we grew up, we create a space where we remember together in Hebrew—building ceremonies that restore a sense of belonging, identity, and meaning to everyone.

Our memorial ceremonies are more than just events; they are a community opportunity to pause, listen, share stories and songs, and shed a collective tear. It is a place where our children and youth learn where we came from, who our heroes are, and what our responsibility is to continue creating light.

Standing Together: October 7th Memorial 
The Israeli Hug Center invites you to come together on the anniversary of October 7th for a special evening of remembrance, featuring a film screening and conversation with Rita Yedid, a survivor of the Nova massacre. This will be a space to remember, listen, ask questions, process, and be together as a community around what we have all been carrying with us since October 7th. Advance registration is required.
