Together in this Moment: Conversations with Families & Victims of October 7
CIJA
|October 12, 2025
Earlier today, as we eagerly await the release of all Israeli hostages, more than a thousand community members and allies came together in a powerful demonstration of unity. Joined by Canadian families whose loved ones were either murdered on October 7 or taken hostage, we drew strength from their courage and the power of our community's solidarity.
Below are some highlights from the event.
