Sit With Us
Last week in the plaza outside of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, an installation of an empty Shabbat table with a place setting for each confirmed missing person was created as a somber reminder of the over 200 Israeli hostages that were abducted by Hamas and held captive in Gaza.
This Friday, UJA Federation of Greater Toronto is recreating the Shabbat table installation and inviting the Toronto Community to Sit With Us in recognition of the people and the families affected by this act of terror, and honor the hostages through a moment of prayer and solidarity. The installation hopes to draw attention to the hostages in an effort to #bringthemhome.
Date: Friday October 27, 2023
Time: 3:00pm-5:00pmET
Location: 4600 Bathurst Street (Sherman Campus)
*Go left once you enter the campus. The installation will be set up behind the Prosserman Jewish Community Centre parking lot on the path next to the treeline.
Spokespeople will be available on site for media interviews.
Please RSVP to Alex Gnat ([email protected]) and Sarah Tratt ([email protected]) if you are able to attend.
